We hired Seedlings Gardening last year to do a complete overhaul of our entire backyard, and we can't say enough about their service and performance. First, Reese took the time to listen to our ideas and she really got our vision, and then she put it to paper even better than it was in our imagination. Matt and his team were dependable, timely, and completely professional during the installation. It was a total transformation! We feel like we are at a resort at our home in the middle of suburbia. We have since hired Seedlings for maintenance and hired them again this year for phase two of the landscape and hardscape installation. I really can't recommend them enough!
Our south Austin project went perfectly. It was a complete re-design of the front yard with hardscape, landscape, irrigation and lighting. Planning through execution and completion were all smooth, as advertised and with budget transparency. Reese was great and the team she sent was even better which is a compliment because owners are often good at selling with a team that cannot keep up. Have already recommended to others. My front yard has now increased the value and enjoyment of my home.
Reese, the owner, is a talented, creative and pragmatic landscape consultant and designer. We have a large yard with deer, shade, and woodland perimeters. She consulted with us about options for reworking specific garden beds and great suggestions in other areas of our landscape for better plant performance, appropriate transplants or edits and ways to continue decreasing water use. We were impressed with her ability to work with us on our desire to simplify and decrease some of our maintenance. She operates a professional well-run landscape business.
