What recent reviews say

Over 34 years in business, Advance earns strong marks for design work and tree service. Five-year-old complaints about distance and pricing sit alongside consistent recent praise for staff knowledge, responsiveness, and finishing quality-especially for drought-tolerant redesigns and major hardscaping. Evidence on irrigation and damage recovery is solid; details on service pace and guarantees are limited.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable staff (Rene, Vincent, Alberto)
  • professional and responsive
  • attention to detail
  • handles complex projects well
Watch-outs
  • refuses long-distance jobs
  • bid pricing perceived as high
  • occasional communication barriers
reliableskilled-crewattention-to-detailresponsivegreat-design-ideasfair-pricing
Best for: Homeowners needing complete landscape overhaul with drought-tolerant design and multiple trades.
Think twice if: Service area may exclude jobs far from Austin (past complaints about 35-40 min drive); initial bid cost may be higher than competitors.

Strengths

  • Long track record (34+ years)
  • Certified design and arborist expertise
  • Full-scope projects (design through installation and maintenance)

Worth knowing

  • Named crew: Rene, Vincent Uherek, Miguel, Isidro, Alberto
  • Handles complex projects: bamboo removal, drainage remediation, RV pad with city permitting
  • Damage accountability: proactively worked with insurance after accidental damage during work

Most jobs are completed on time with clear communication and clean sites. Reviewers consistently praise Noah, Carter Romero, Augusto, Jared, and the overall team for coordinated execution, 3D renderings that match vision, and genuine responsiveness even to non-paying inquiries. One driveway crack during neighboring work triggered communication delays; the warranty manager later engaged proactively. The crew respects schedules and neighbors, leaves no mess, and handles coordination with specialty contractors like Cowboy Pools. Deck, patio, pool deck, and fencing projects dominate the portfolio. One reviewer noted the team turns down small jobs, though they still offer free consultation and estimates.
