Home Services reviews in Austin, Texas

If you’re reading this, it’s highly likely you are looking at a large project. Southern Love recently completed a back yard overhaul for me. Included in the project was an irrigation redesign/installation, building a large Trex deck, creating a gravel/paving stone pathway with weed barrier and 1/4” retaining border, building/welding steel planter boxes, and a full sod installation. They remediated several smaller issues from a previous contractor, too!
Nikk, Raul, and the whole crew were punctual, professional, thorough, and respectful. Nikk’s bid landed right in the middle of estimates I received, but the quality of the work is absolutely first rate and you can rest assured that things will be done correctly the first time!
I would not hesitate to hire them should any future needs arise, and cannot recommend them highly enough!!

We needed a lot of work done at our place, from grass to leveled rocks, legitimately you name it. I had the best experience you could ask for from basic help understanding what we were doing to more complex add ons and understanding plants in an ecosystem like Austin. Loved working with Jason and the entire team. We have everything I wanted and I am so thrilled with the results.

After the drought in 2023 and the inability to water in Georgetown, our lawn died. Empty patches, weeds, etc. HOA got on our case, so I started looking for quotes for redoing our front yard. Southern Love was well reviewed and looked promising. Out of the 3 quote we got, they were in the middle in terms of pricing, but what sold me was Nikk's conversation with me when he came onsite. I asked questions, he gave me thoughtful answers and options while not rushing me in the slightest. Nikk was communicative and available through the process, kept me informed of the minor delays and availability of certain plants I wanted.

Work done included ripping up old grass and mulch, steel edging, weed barrier, rock, adding enriched top soil and resodding with zoysia.

His crew was very polite and listened as well. Overall very professional experience. The outcome looks great and we will definitely be back

Worked with Harrison. He and his crew did a fantastic job. He was also very accommodating to our requests. Would definitely work with him again

I highly recommend Southern Love Landscape! They did a fantastic job redesigning our front yard and installing a beautiful new patio. From the initial consultation to completion, their team was professional and attentive to our ideas. The quality of their work is outstanding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Our outdoor space has been transformed! If you’re looking for exceptional landscaping services, look no further than Southern Love Landscape!

I am very pleased with my backyard project, thanks to the great work of Southern Love. I had a professional design, and Nik collaborated with me on some minor tweaks to make it even better. He communicated with me throughout the process, and his crew did a marvelous job! I highly recommend them!

Southern Love landscaping did an incredible job installing artificial turf in our front and back yard. They showed up at 8am every day and worked tirelessly until the job was done The communication with Nikk was great; they were incredibly accommodating with additions and changes we wanted to make during the process and we were thrilled with the final result.

Where do I even begin? Well,let me save you some time: stop searching for a landscape company cause this is it! From top to bottom, Southern Love Landscaping and Design are excellent! I cannot stress how hard it is to find such a reliable company but these guys exceed my expectations and then some.

I had a design and plans in mind and on hand and spent many many hours calling, making appointments, and emailing, only to be ghosted by countless companies.

I was about to give up, until Nikk and his team came along.

Right off the bat, Nikk was quick to respond, came out for an initial consultation on time, spent time walking through the property and answering every single one of our questions AND gave us some great ideas and alternatives to the design as well.

They sent an estimate in a timely manner that outlined the specifics of the project, and when we changed our minds, resent the estimate with the updated price, (which was very reasonable). Nikk was never rude or condescending or annoyed as we mulled ideas and in some cases, brainstormed while he was there. We got the side yard done to prep for a shed as well as cleaned up the side path that was muddy and flooded. Next we're prepping for a small pool and expanding the patio. They were even down with us doing our design in phases.

We scheduled for about a few weeks out, and during that time, Nikk kept us in the loop when it came to timing and was always honest with us when weather delayed the job before us. we were more than willing to be flexible.

On the day our project was to begin, the crew showed up on time, happy and ready to work. They walked through the entire job with us before beginning, marked and triple checked the plans, answering all my questions and clarifying everything. They were so friendly and funny and they all communicated so well with us. They got to work right away and were very quick and efficient. Every time we came outside, they smiled and waved and said hello. They asked clarifying questions along the way, and they were extremely respectful of our yard and belongings. They tidied up before they left each evening too. We super considered it since we had pups who would use the yard while they weren't there. It was such a pleasure talking to and working with them!

When the job was finished, they cleaned our walkways, driveway, and backyard and stacked extra materials nicely.

We're half way through our plans and it's an absolute delight to see the progress so far. We've been able to start our garden and fix up our front and I just smile every time we go to the garden or sit outside.

Hire this team! They deserve all the good business coming to them. :)

The team made the path, added the granite, edging and the concrete pad. We added the garden beds~

We recently contracted a project with Nikk at Southern Love Landscaping. We couldn't have been more impressed and pleased with Nikk, his crew and the results. I have dealt with a significant number of contractors over the years. Nikk is one of the very best. He is easy to work with, has great ideas, communicates well, and was responsive to our concerns. His crew worked hard, displayed great attention to detail and were meticulous in their approach. In short, they conducted their work in an extremely professional manner. The entire experience from the initial demolition to the ultimate cleanup was excellent and the results speak for themselves. They will be our go to on our future projects. A breath of fresh air!

I recently hired Southern Love Landscaping & Design to transform my backyard by installing a paver patio and planting some trees, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their service was exceptional. I originally interviewed and received quotes from four companies and from the first contact Nikk, the owner, impressed me. He arrived on time for our appointment, provided smart design ideas based on my goals as well as my yard constraints, and provided examples to illustrate what could be done. Southern Love Landscaping & Design provided competitive rates without compromising on the quality of materials or workmanship. Their transparency in pricing was greatly appreciated, and there were no hidden costs or surprises.
Equally impressive was the outstanding customer service exhibited by every team member. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, communication was clear and responsive. They listened to my preferences, offered valuable insights, and ensured that I was satisfied at every stage of the process. Any concerns or questions I had were addressed promptly, creating a positive and stress-free experience.
The team consistently arrived on time and wasted no time getting to work. Their work ethic was truly commendable – they were hardworking, dedicated, and focused on delivering top-notch results. The foreman on my project, Raul, was friendly, diligent and took pride in the work.
The quality of the work performed by Southern Love Landscaping & Design was outstanding. The paver patio was meticulously crafted, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the project. The choice of materials, precision in installation, and overall design were beyond what I had envisioned. The trees they planted were also carefully selected and expertly placed, enhancing the overall aesthetics of my backyard. I can’t wait to sit outside now and watch the beautiful sunsets in my new oasis!
In conclusion, I highly recommend Southern Love Landscaping & Design for any landscaping projects. My backyard has been transformed into a beautiful and functional space, thanks to their expertise and dedication. I am grateful for the fantastic job they did, and I will definitely hire them again for future projects.

Nikk and his team did an amazing job on my backyard upgrade. The entire process was smooth and easy. They had great communication with me from start to finish. They got the job done in a timely manner and were able to do it within my budget. Thank you so much. I can’t stop going into my backyard and enjoying the new look of it.

We want to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Southern Love Landscaping & Design for helping us design and build our front yard! We are thrilled that it turned out better than what my wife and I originally imagined. Working with Nikk was easy from the very first visit when he came over to look at our project. He provided an accurate estimate, timeline, and scheduling of the project, while communicating with us on a daily basis during construction and until the final walkthrough. Attached are before and after pictures of our yard. Our front yard was mostly rugged and was not usable. Southern Love built us a retaining wall that panned the entire yard front with pavers, creating a beautiful entryway. The stairs built into the retaining wall lead to a large landing covered with oak trees. Our entire yard is completely transformed and we love it! I’m looking forward to working with Southern Love Landscaping for our next project, and I highly recommend them.

Kishore & Neelima

Wow! The entire journey with the team at Southern Love Landscaping & Design has been exceptional. The right side of our driveway needed an extra parking space, and a future garden bed for some screening plants to be installed in October.
The design and communication from Nic was spot on. He worked with us to figure out something that would fit our budget and got us right into the team’s schedule. Everything moved along smoothly and even before our target start date he was communicating with us.
Once the amazing team showed up, every day just incredible change happened. Within the week everything was completed and we are so thrilled with the results.
We HIGHLY recommend Southern Love Landscaping for any project you may have and we will definitely be back again to use them for our next project. We included the before and after hardscape pics.

I would highly recommend Nikk and his team. I'm very happy with the beautiful outcome of my driveway and fence project. There are large tree roots that cracked the driveway and Feb. storm took out pieces of old cedar fence. Nikk was always quick to respond to text and email from the bidding process through to completion. He also came up with a much better solution than the solid concrete that was originally discussed based on our concern for the very large oak tree roots. He and his team were on time, courteous and efficient. The project started and finished as planned. It was so nice to have a pleasant experience, having been burned by previously construction projects. Southern Love is truly 5 stars. Thanks you Nikk

Can’t say enough good things about Southern Love. Nikk is trustworthy, good at communicating, and responsive. He also had great ideas and is very capable at helping plan the design and willing to adjust based on wants and budget. They worked super quickly and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Fantastic job! No issues with communication. No issues adjusting to our impromptu changes. Very well organized. Started and finished on time. No additional cost surprises. Highly recommend!

We recently had Southern Love Landscaping & Design transform our small front and back yards, and the results are stunning! Nikk and his team created a lush front yard, a fantastic cowboy pool deck, and a custom patio. Each area is thoughtfully designed and perfectly suited to our space.

Nikk's commitment to providing 100% customer satisfaction was evident throughout the project. He listened to our ideas, offered creative solutions, and ensured everything was executed flawlessly. The transformation is beyond our expectations.

We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Southern Love Landscaping & Design for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor spaces. Five stars all the way!

11 out of 10: from the level of service to the degree of knowledge and expertise, Southern Love delivered a STUNNING landscape transformation that surpassed all of our expectations plus some.

This was our first ‘major’ landscaping project, so we didn’t really know what to expect. But Nik and his team walked us through each phase, laid out process expectations, timelines and everything in between. Transparency, communication, and consultation at levels you won’t find elsewhere.

Nik was so aligned with our vision that we ended up siding with most of his recommendations over what we originally had in mind. This dude is THAT good. And his team is no different. All were very respectful of our property and mindful of the fact we have two large dogs - they even prioritized steps in the process that allowed us to safely let the dogs use the yard mid-project. The team was kind, precise and efficient.

We could go on and on with nothing but excellent things to say…VERY happy customers, and we’re itching to loop them in on future projects!

I feel fortunate that I met Nikk Nguyen, who had been contracted by the builder next door to construct a new fence around that lot, which included the back of mine. Since my 15-year-old fence was on its last leg, I asked Nikk to quote replacement of the remainder of my fence as well. He's a super nice guy, easy to work with, provided a fair estimate, and as you can see from the photos, his crew built a beautiful fence. They promptly addressed a couple minor issues that I brought up, and even did a few nice extras like re-mounting the landscape lighting transformer. Cleanup was spotless, still haven't found even one nail left over. Final cost was as estimated. I'm very pleased with the result and would recommend Southern Love for any fence work that you need.

Harrison at Southern Love was awesome. Great communication, really knowledgeable about native plants, and always showed up when he said he would. Raul and his crew were fantastic too, they worked for about eight days, showed up on time every day, and kept everything clean and organized. Harrison (the designer) and Nikk (the owner) were on-site most days making sure everything turned out exactly as we discussed. Couldn’t be happier with the result!

Superb job by Nikk and his team as you can see in the pictures. My landscaping was out of control with overgrown wild plants in the front and back yard and Southern Love stepped up big time. Not only did they clean it all up but they also transformed a dreaded sight into exactly what I was hoping for - clean, simple, and low maintenance while keeping it classy. They are a hardworking group with great attention to details and super easy to work with. They don’t cut corners and the job is not done until their customer’s happy. Highly recommend for any landscape work if you’re looking for a well-rounded company that’s honest, affordable, and talented.
