Reed and his team are great to work with. They were very responsive to my request for a quote, and provided excellent customer service throughout the project. I am very pleased with the work they did - removing old trees and shrubs, replacing them with drought-resistant but attractive plants, adding decorative rocks and lighting, and replacing several sprinkler heads in the process. The finished product was done on time, on budget, and will look great once everything starts to grow and fill in. I will definitely hire these guys for my next landscaping project and highly recommend them.

I was unable to afford their top tier services for my first home. They were incredibly respectful and responsive even when I mentioned I could not afford their services. Erin was kind enough to say in the last email "I’m very glad to help Nick! Everyone should be able to get a great landscape regardless of price." Look forward to using them down the line!

This company is unreal! Reed oversees the entire project daily! They show up at 7am each morning and are not a minute late! They work so hard and do an amazing job! I was in awe of the work ethic of this team and the end result! I would recommend this company 100%.

Reed and team did a fantastic job on our front yard. After the initial consultation, they submitted the proposed design and bid within days (including contact info for actual past customers for reference purposes) and aside from a few tweaks, we didn't change anything about it. The work included a) replacing part of our front lawn and our entire garden bed in front of our house with drought tolerant plants, b) laying large pavers and creating a walkway from the street to our front door, c) installing a drip system to water all of the new plants, and d) adding a metal mulch ring around the tree in the center of the remaining lawn. The area around the pavers and plants was separated from the grass area with metal planter inserts in the ground and then the entire new area was filled with high end gravel. They were very clear about why they picked each plant and are clearly knowledgable about native Texas plants and bushes. The install took place over several days during Thanksgiving week. The project was completed on time and on budget, and turned out even better than we could have expected. ANL provided clear post-install instructions regarding watering and care and the plants have continued flourishing since the install. We'd definitely use them again and will keep them in mind for any future work.

My birthday was coming up and it was time to refresh the landscaping in our new home. My husband is a DIY type of man but the scope of the project was too great for him to attempt by himself. We wanted a complete redo: All the old patchy grass ripped out, good soil added, privacy shrubs and trees planted. A retaining wall built due to our sloping front yard. Old irrigation was shot and leaking bad so needed a new system. We also wanted a nice mortared flagstone pathway leading to the house. And finally, an Outdoor lighting to put the finishing touch on it all. At first we contacted multiple contractors for each trade and it was a huge hassle and mess. Half of them didn’t show up, the ones that did show up tried to upsell without listening to our original ideas. You can imagine with so many trades it took a master scheduler to meet with all of them. Some of them sent a bid after a month, some didn’t at all. Coordination of all of it was a nightmare as you had to work around all of their schedules. We decided it’s not worth the hassle and decide to find one company to do it all. We contacted 4 different companies after reading their reviews and looking at their portfolios. ANL immediately stood out. Their attitude is infectious; they are young but very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Their price was mid range amongst the 4 but their design, positive attitude and promptness sealed the deal. They were booked months ahead, and could start on our projects only 3 months after we signed the contract. But believe me when I say it was worth it. They showed up early and worked late. They stored all of their tools and materials neatly after each day and especially during the weekend. Awesome communication. Most importantly, didn’t try to upsell us and followed our original idea and guidelines. Work was done within 3 weeks and the result is spectacular. Everything looks cohesive. They keep answering our many questions months after the job is done. 2 of my neighbors were so impressed they are already getting bids from them so the work speaks for itself. Thank you!

Bamboo Muhly (Muhlenbergia dumosa) Plant Profile!

Reed Reed on November 9, 2011

We are starting to create individual Texas native plants profiles and today we will put the spotlight on Bamboo Muhly (Muhlenbergia dumosa) .

 

From the entry:

“Bambo Muhly is a magnificent choice for many locations. The plant’s gentle foliage will grace any larger pots. It is an excellent plant to use as a mid-back layer in drought tolerant flowerbeds. Bamboo muhly is both part shade tolerant and deer resistant plant which is an uncommon combination. We love to use generous amounts of the plant in watereise deer pressured Austin landscapes. You’ll be delighted to watch it dance slowly in the breeze.”

 

What do you think about Bamboo Muhly ? Do you grow it yourself? Pictures or insights to share?

Just wanted to express my thanks to you for your very prompt and professional service. The yard looks great! What really impressed me is how quickly you got it all done.

You fellas work dirt faster than a yard full of armadillos!

Kevin Henderson Round Rock

My favorite spot is sitting at my kitchen table looking out at my new backyard landscape that Reed and his crew at Austin Native Landscaping created. Reed transformed my backyard from a flat eroded surface into a tiered, drought resistant, eye-catching landscape. He uses quality materials and knows which plants are suited to the climate and soil. Reed listened patiently to our concerns, likes and dislikes and never pressured us during any phase of the project and upon completion he and his crew left our property immaculate.

It’s nice to know that quality workmanship still exists.

Cynthia Round Rock

Reed and his team at Austin Native Landscaping put together a beautiful plan that took into consideration all of my criteria – drought tolerant, native, deer resistant, and low maintenance, AND then they applied their own knowledge of plants, color, depth, shape, and design! I was thrilled!!
