What do customers say?

Gold Star Landscaping delivers consistently high-quality work with Jeffrey leading projects that range from full yard overhauls to specific repairs. Crews arrive punctual, finish quickly, clean up thoroughly, and handle everything from sod replacement and grading to paving, planting, and irrigation fixes. Their strength is listening to what you want, explaining options clearly, and executing with visible pride in the outcome.

Common thread across projects: reviewers praise specific crew members (Yefri, Luis, Alex), honest pricing, and willingness to go beyond the initial scope to make things right. One reviewer noted slow initial response time, but nearly all 151 reviews were five stars. Service areas include Austin, Georgetown, South Austin, Lockhart, and the northern suburbs.
