Top Choice delivers lawn care consistently on schedule and communicates clearly before arriving. Reviews spanning years show the same pattern: crews show up promptly, finish fast, and leave yards noticeably improved. Staff including Mike, Alejandro, and Johnny have earned multiple mentions for going beyond the job (second passes to level grass, searching for buried valve boxes, saving customers thousands on irrigation repairs). Office team turns estimates around the same day while competitors ghost for days. Pricing sits square in the middle of the Austin market.
The company operates across South Austin to Bee Cave with services from mowing and edging through irrigation repair, tree trimming, aeration, and top dressing. Reviewers praise how crews text arrival windows and respect property (careful around vehicles, blowing sidewalks clean). Long-term customers note the owner engages directly with clients. No complaints surface across 18 recent five-star reviews.
Limited detail from recent reviews. Five-star ratings mostly predate 2024; one-star reviews dominate recent months, citing quality decline, crew safety issues, and poor follow-up. A 2.8 average reflects deep splits between older satisfaction under Robert and current operational problems.
Over five years of recent reviews, Southern Landscape delivers on complex outdoor transformations with consistent design creativity and crew professionalism. Clients praise Sara, Ashleigh, Cody, and other named staff for listening carefully, solving problems honestly, and finishing ahead of schedule or on time, with daily site cleanup throughout. The team handles full-scope work: landscape design, hardscaping and stonework, irrigation retrofits and repairs, patios, retaining walls, and drought-tolerant plantings. Large projects run smoothly with clear communication; smaller jobs get the same care. Pricing appears fair, and repeat business is common.
Maldonado delivers solid work through experienced crews and responsive project managers, but scheduling reliability and account management have been serious issues. One account improved dramatically after a manager change; others report chronic no-shows, poor communication, and unresolved equipment damage. Current performance likely depends on which team oversees your property.
