Home Services reviews in Austin, Texas

We hired Outdoor Renovations to work on our baseball fields for NAO and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I'm not sure if this team is known for working on athletic fields, but it is definitely one of their areas of expertise. They went above and beyond. The team is super professional, great to work with, and the quality was top notch. The fields looked amazing and held up all season, even with heavy use. We got a ton of compliments from teams and parents, and best of all, they drained well and absorbed water, avoiding rainouts this year because of their work. Highly recommend!

Kyle, Dillon, and his entire team performed an outstanding job on designing and installing an outdoor living space for our home. In the design phase, no small detail was overlooked. Dillon even accessed our HOA web page to ensure all of his proposed changes fell within the guidelines. After creating the full design, he listened carefully to our budget constraints and came up with an initial phase which included all of our priority items. When it came time to implement the changes, Kyle and his team performed a punctual, high quality, and stress free implementation. Their craftmanship on our gates and fence was impeccable. Throughout the project, Kyle kept us updated on the progress. An excellent experience all throughout the project. All the people we worked with were professional and delightful.

Working with Kyle and his team at Outdoor Reno was a 5+ star experience. I reached out to Kyle through his website and received an immediate, welcoming response the next day. I told Kyle what I was looking for, and he laid everything out in meticulous detail, and was treated as if I was his only client. Our project had several unforeseen obstacles to navigate, but his team was able to manufacture brilliant solutions without compromising on quality or aesthetics. The result was a work of art! Kyle and his team can do it all and I highly recommend them for any project you have.

Outdoor Renovations is very knowledgeable at what they do! I had an water leak and Kyle himself came out to find the leak and fixed it. I had no clue where to begin to look, but he did. He told me what needed to be done, how it happened and sent me a video of the work. Let me say this happened on a Friday Afternoon. He came out and stayed till done at 8:00 pm. In the dark.
I highly recommend this company for all your outdoor renovations. They are honest, upfront, and very talented at their trade. Nice work!

The short version: If you’re looking for an honest, hard-working, knowledgeable, kind, professional, landscaping expert, hire Kyle!
The longer version: Over the last 3 years, in the process of building a home in the Austin area, we’ve working with over 30 contractors. In my experience, it is very difficult to find business owners in this space that communicate regularly, clearly, and proactively, offer deep expertise, do excellent work at fair prices, and seem more interested in the happiness of the client than they do in just getting on to the next job. I simply cannot recommend Kyle strongly enough. Not only did he meet every promise he made, he helped me, at no expense to me, fix some of the “challenges” left by the prior landscaper. If you’re in the Austin area and need some landscaping work done, please consider using Kyle. He’s a rare gem.

Outdoor renovations, owner, Kyle Stoutenger, and his team Pedro, Pablo, and Javier did an excellent job of evaluating a property we just bought. They streamlined the irrigation and planted new material that will require less maintenance and water. Kyle is super easy to work with and provides documentation so you see immediate results. Kyle is flexible, a good listener, and willing to accommodate. I want to spend less money on maintenance and still have it look sharp . I want weeds pulled and they are on top of it! Highly recommend!

If you're reading this and considering Kyle, the President of Outdoor Renovations, for a potential project, you can stop your search, you've found your guy. Regardless of the constraints you might face, Kyle will ensure a smooth, stress-free experience, consistently going above and beyond to deliver on time, within budget, and with impeccable communication throughout.

Kyle's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every facet of his work. Be it an insightful on-site evaluation, clear email correspondence, detailed invoicing, or timely phone interactions, he leaves nothing to chance. I never once questioned the thoroughness of his work or fretted about missed details. Kyle proactively managed all aspects, from coordinating with other parties I was involved with to ensuring a meticulous cleanup upon project completion.

Throughout the entire process on my outdoor kitchen build, Kyle displayed immense thoughtfulness. He offered suggestions that perfectly captured my vision, even when I struggled to articulate it. He even invested time researching just the right type of wood to use in the space. I agreed with nearly all of his recommendations and ended up with a final product that exceeded my wildest expectations.

Kyle also exhibited great flexibility, working collaboratively to find the right solution within my budgetary constraints. He consistently approached every aspect of the project with transparency, directness, and integrity.

While I've worked with other good contractors in the past, my experience with Kyle has been unparalleled. Believe me when I say: if you choose to work with Kyle, your project will be in the best hands. He will diligently ensure every detail aligns with your vision, work within your budget, keep you informed with clear updates, and always approach his work with a genuine smile and kind demeanor.

Outdoor Renovations did an outstanding job on a large, residential new construction project for me personally. I've been a home builder for 20 years, and I'd rank Kyle and his team among the best of trades I've dealt with in all that time. Kyle is exceptionally knowledgeable, knows how to get the job done and is trustworthy. His team handled a broad scope of work for my project including grading, drainage, substantial rock and masonry work, steel fabrication/edging, a host of plantings small & large, irrigation, top-dressing and sod. Without question, I'd recommend Outdoor Renovations for virtually anything landscape/hardscape related.

Outdoor Renovations were outstanding to work with. Kyle, the owner, listened to our wants and desires for the project. He was able to work within the allotted budget. Ryan kept us in the loop as far as the timeline and any weather bases delays. The entire team, Devon, Ryan, Pablo and Pedro were professional. We are thrilled with the final results! We would highly recommend this company.

Kyle Stoutenger with Outdoor Renovations does outstanding work. If you’re looking for someone who truly takes pride in what they do, Kyle and his team are the people to call. The quality of their work is top notch, whether it’s concrete, decks, patios, or full outdoor living spaces.

Kyle is professional, communicative, and reliable. He shows up when he says he will, keeps everyone informed throughout the project, and makes sure the work is done right.

As a real estate agent, it’s extremely important for me to have amazing contractors I can confidently recommend to my clients, and Kyle is absolutely one of them. I know when I refer someone to Outdoor Renovations they will be taken care of and the job will be done with quality and attention to detail.

Highly recommend Kyle and Outdoor Renovations.

We recently worked with Kyle and Outdoor Renovations on a spec build, and he has also been maintaining the landscaping for the past three months. From start to finish, Kyle has been incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to work with.

He’s been a true resource, always available to answer questions, provide thoughtful recommendations, and share his expertise. We’ve especially appreciated his honesty and proactive approach. When a few plants didn’t survive the summer heat despite regular watering, Kyle stood by his warranty and replaced them without hesitation.

His professionalism, integrity, and follow-through have given us complete confidence in continuing to work with him. We now consider him a trusted vendor and partner for future projects. Highly recommend Outdoor Renovations!

Garden center is nice at this location.

My go-to HD. Almost always someone around the hardware, paint and lawn/garden tool sections. Solid nursery. Gets restocked often.

Great location with all the things you need for home. I also love their plants which you can find off to the left side. Indoor and outdoor varieties.

+ Order online and pickup in store is a great feature. - The garden, outdoor plants area doesn't offer a native plants section.

I like the fact I can go here and usually always find everything I am looking for. The staff is very helpful and will help you in a very professional manner no matter how dumb of a question you think you have. The garden center is great and has a nice variety of plants for your yard.

I had to climb up on the rack to get some 2x4s and an employee walked by with his head down looking at his phone and apparently didn't even notice me. I'm a 60 yr old woman.

I needed one cut made and I had to search for someone to help me. He couldn't do it but called someone else. I waited for someone to show up at the saws and finally a kid came sauntering down the isle like there was all the time in the world. Didn't greet me, but asked what I needed.

I also needs some help in the garden center, but there was no one around.

Also, they were out of 2x4 10ft boards, so I had to get 8ft boards which is going to cause waste.

Newest Home Depot in the area with about everything you could need for home improvement, gardening, repairs and more. Usually well staffed with plenty around to help you. With traffic right there and many other shops, getting in and out can be a pain.

One of the better Home Depots in Austin. There is a slightly larger indoor/outdoor plant selection and the team members, for the most part, are helpful. I've had in the past asked on more than one occasion for help in locating items I was looking for.

Had my door for JP Exteriors ready to be picked up in 2 days! Fast and easy

I asked the only employee working in the garden center where I could find a Pothos plant and he rudely told me he “had never heard of that before” as if I was asking for a flying unicorn and then turned away as if I wasn’t even there.
