What recent reviews say

Gold Star earns 5-star reviews from homeowners across Austin and surrounding areas for complete yard transformations completed on time and on quote. Yefri's leadership, crews like Luis and Alex, and their willingness to handle unexpected problems (contaminated sod from prior contractors, drainage fixes, sprinkler follow-ups) set them apart; one reviewer noted slow initial response and occasional miscommunication, but said they fixed issues without defensiveness.

The team handles sod installation on difficult slopes, xeriscaping with custom gravel and planters, hardscaping (patios, walkways, flagstone), French drains, and irrigation troubleshooting in single jobs spanning 2 to 7 days. Reviewers consistently praise punctuality, crew respect for property, thorough cleanup, and designs that match the vision they came in with.

Sullivan's Landscaping & Lawn Service

4.4(114)✓ Verified

Sullivan's earns strong marks for transformation work and ongoing maintenance. Staff including Natalie, Alex, and Ricardo communicate proactively about weather delays and project timelines, and take pride in finishing under pressure. A small number of recent incidents cloud the picture: crews twice skipped back-yard work after being paid for full-yard service, and boundary violations damaged a flower bed without adequate resolution. When complaints surface, office responsiveness varies.

Adam's Lawn Service Austin

4.5(96)✓ Verified

Adam's Lawn Service wins customers over with speed and fair prices. Jobs that take competitors weeks happen in days, quotes come same-day, and the crew finishes promptly. Adam stays in touch throughout, and reviewers consistently praise both the results and his straightforward manner. One complaint about incomplete weed work and murky cost clarity serves as a reminder to nail down specifics upfront. The business handles lawn installation, ongoing maintenance, weed control, and hardscape repairs like containment walls. Big yards, small tidying jobs, and complete makeovers all appear in the reviews. Scheduling and pricing transparency matter: ask for a written estimate and confirm what's included before work starts.
