Agave LD of Cedar Park

4.9(38)✓ Google-verified

Agave LD earns consistent praise for lawn fertilization, weed control, and ongoing maintenance that visibly improves yards over time. Staff are responsive, professional, and willing to fix mistakes like sprinkler damage at no cost. One customer reported rusty metalwork, a defective fence, and frustration with the 30-day warranty and slow resolution; the company disputed fault but did not fully engage on follow-up. Long-term customers (7 to 10 years) return repeatedly for seasonal services. The certified arborist team handles tree work, top dressing, aeration, and landscape design with care for underground utilities and clean-up. Their portfolio and proactive outreach impressed even customers outside their service area.
