What recent reviews say

Top Choice earns strong marks for capable crews who show up on time and finish work carefully. Staff like Ford, Jeremy, and Lisa earn repeat loyalty. A small group of recent reviews flag billing surprises, lack of daily arrival windows, and difficult onboarding conversations that leave newcomers frustrated.

Most customers experience straightforward lawn and irrigation service at competitive rates. Named technicians (Johnny for irrigation, Lisa for landscape design, Jeremy for field work) appear to drive satisfaction. The two-star complaints stem from portal issues, auto-pay mishaps, and unclear expectations at signup rather than poor fieldwork.

Praised for
  • punctual and reliable service
  • skilled crews who take pride in work
  • personable and responsive staff
  • fair pricing for quality delivered
Watch-outs
  • unclear billing terms lead to surprise charges
  • inconsistent communication and scheduling windows
  • billing card saved without explicit permission
  • rigid service commitment policies frustrate new customers
punctualreliablefair-pricingskilled-crewresponsiveattention-to-detailpoor-communicationwent-over-budget
Best for: Homeowners in Austin suburbs ready to invest in yard transformation with one primary contact.
Think twice if: Expect to lock in a service commitment during signup and clarify hourly caps and billing thresholds upfront to avoid surprise charges.

Strengths

  • named technicians build lasting customer relationships
  • competitive pricing after comparison shopping
  • thorough landscape design consultation included

Worth knowing

  • Named staff (Johnny on irrigation, Lisa on landscape design, Jeremy on field installation) cited for dependability
  • 20-plus-year operating history claimed
  • Online portal setup repeatedly failed for at least one customer
  • Auto-pay card saved without explicit permission in at least one case
  • No daily arrival window provided, only day-wide slots
  • Landscape transformation projects praised (yard revival from bare soil to finished garden)

Common questions

Do you serve my area?
Top Choice covers South, Central, and North Austin plus Bee Cave, Lakeway, West Lake, Oak Hill, Circle C, Cedar Park, and Round Road. Call to confirm your address.
Can I request a specific time of day, not just the full day?
Recent reviews note no daily arrival window is given, only day-wide slots. Some customers received texts after requesting them, but timing was inconsistent. Best to clarify before signing up.
What happens if I want to cancel after one service?
One recent customer was pushed to commit to a three-service minimum before trial. Ask about trial periods and no-commitment options before agreeing to the contract.

Eclipse Landscape & Construction

4.4(25)✓ Verified

Most reviewers praise Eclipse for responsive communication, skilled work, and creative design across multiple projects. Dylan and Shawn personally oversee jobs and keep clients informed. However, one detailed complaint from 2023 flags serious issues: the estimator underbudgeted a deck project, electrical work was unlicensed and later needed rework, and the owner became difficult when costs exceeded the contract.

YardDoc

4.9(218)✓ Verified

YardDoc staff consistently show up on time, address problems efficiently, and explain work in plain language. Technicians like Chris and Christian earn praise for friendliness and professionalism; office staff including Rachel Banker and Ashleigh handle scheduling smoothly and keep customers informed throughout jobs. Handyman work (patio doors, wooden staircases) and pest control (ants, raccoons, spiders, rodents) draw particular praise for quality and cost-effectiveness. Two recent one-star reviews cite communication failures but lack detail; the business resolves 97% of its 218 reviews at five stars, outperforming the category average of 4.72. Across landscaping, lawn care, and pest control services, YardDoc staff demonstrate consistent professionalism and follow-through. Named technicians (Jorge, Balthazar, Eddy, Angel) are credited with meticulous exterior work and attentive project management. Pest control responses are swift and solution-focused. The rare negative feedback suggests isolated lapses in back-and-forth communication, but overwhelmingly reviewers report transparent pricing, respectful service, and willingness to go beyond the job scope.
