Landscaping reviews in Austin, Texas

So far they canceled two meetings after they were supposed to come here. This is the fourth they canceled in total.

With how unresponsive this team is I highly recommend using a different contractor. They consistently place blame on others and take no responsibility for their staff.

AOD was a great match for us in terms of style and quality we were looking for in our full backyard renovation. I’d recommend them if you want to create a thoughtful extension to your home creating an outdoor living space.

My wife and I loved working with John and Jose on our backyard deck and landscape project. Their projects are modern, stylish, fresh, and the quality of work is top notch. This is not your bargain basement landscape design firm, but if you're looking for high quality and attention to detail, no one else in town produces this kind of work.

AOD did an amazing job. The finished product looks pretty much *exactly* like the 3D renderings they did for us when they designed the project, and it came in exactly on-budget. They responded to issues when they arose with expertise and professionalism. Highly recommended.

Austin Outdoor Design was great to work with. They renovated our backyard and we absolutely love the result! It’s now a great space to hangout and have people over, we enjoy it everyday. Highly recommend!!!

I was extremely disappointed with AOD and do not recommend using them for your project. I had hired them to do my yard and given them a 50-80K budget. They agreed to take the project and we had several meetings to work on the design, After a few months came back with an estimate for 240K and had tried to get me to sign off on final design before even seeing the estimate from them. I told them this is not within the budget I had given them and they came back a week later with an estimate for 130K. They also stated this was standard process to come back with an estimate this over what the original budget was. I asked for my money back because the designs were useless at this point. I only received a fraction of my money back and got absolutely nothing for the thousands of dollars and months of time I wasted working with them.

Great group of professionals. The landscape architect nailed it. Understood what the look of the house was going to be and was able to enhance and in fact, add to the appearance and overall success of the project through his creative landscape design. AOD’s various crews from stone masons and landscape installers, to drainage experts and steel fabricators and welders—all were professional and skilled and great to work with. The project was on budget and completed in a timely manner. They have been responsive to any concerns or issues that have arisen. I highly recommend AOD.

They did a great job, and we are really happy with the end results.
They designed and managed the project from beginning to end.
The quality and modern design of our deck is great.
I highly recommend them, my only advice is to be patience as the process could take longer than expected.
We highly recommend you to use Austin Outdoor Design.

Austin Outdoor Design did not just build us a deck. They designed and built an extension of our home's living areas into the outdoors. We love it and highly recommend Austin Outdoor Design. The modern aesthetics with practical design has transformed how we live in our house. We appreciated having the design and build all within one firm, which provided efficiency and continuity throughout the project. We enjoyed working with all of their employees and contractors. The end result was striking and reflects their attention to detail and quality. Thank you, Austin Outdoor Design!

Friendly, professional and prompt responses. Company primarily serves high end clientele. Definitely, some great looking projects but probably out of reach for most. Still a professional and responsive interaction. Would recommend to those can are looking to spend within this range.

"We like to make sure we are transparent about fees, costs, etc. in the beginning so there are no surprises. Our design projects range from $4.5-$30K for the design fees before we even move forward with construction. Our construction project cost continuum starts out around $60K range and goes up to $1M+ with our average projects at about $150-200k."

We had such an amazing experience with Austin Outdoor Design. We continue to get compliments on our yard, and daily enjoy our little piece of heaven.

Jose's vision for our yard, which resembled a jungle when we bought the house, was simply astonishing. Out of an overgrown, hot and basically unusable backyard, he created a haven. The variety of spaces accommodate all our needs, and see daily use. Our deck and pergola are masterpieces.

During construction, we met regularly with John, who was friendly, knowledgeable and held his crews to high standards. I enjoyed working with John, and appreciated getting to know the people who came to work on the project.

Overall, we are so happy we chose to work with AOD, and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful yard.

AOD did a complete overhaul of our backyard and we could not be more pleased with how it turned out. They were wonderful to deal with throughout the entire process which consisted of the design formation, construction and warranty work after the project was completed. They were always very helpful in answering our questions or concerns. They even helped us resolve neighbor issues throughout the construction phase. Every team member we dealt with made us feel like we were a priority. Their quality of work is outstanding and we will definitely be working with them in the future.

Austin Outdoor Design has a reliable and professional team with a great eye for detail. Friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with!

Jose and the AOD team are the real deal. Thoughtful design, flawless build, and craftsmanship that will outlast trends. Our landscaping looks incredible—and it’s built to last for generations. Couldn’t recommend AOD more highly.

I cannot recommend Austin Outdoor Design enough! From start to finish, Jose and his team exceeded all expectations. They completely transformed our yard into a stunning retreat and expertly installed a beautiful pool that has become the centerpiece of our outdoor space. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail was truly impeccable. Every employee was friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about delivering top-quality work. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and the results are simply incredible. If you're looking for a company that combines creativity, skill, and customer care, look no further — they are simply the best!

Michael and his team were amazing to work with. We needed some privacy in our yard and wanted some trees/shrubs but didn’t know what exactly. Michael guided us with his expertise (he is EXTREMELY knowledgeable!!!) and we are so very happy with the outcome.

He even spent time helping us set up and understand our irrigation system, which he is also extremely knowledgeable about. They are very passionate about the work they do and it shows. They made our yard look beautiful and we are so excited to step out into it every day. We cannot recommend them enough!

Out of this world!

Poor supervision of the contractors. Were destructive to property outside the scope of their job.

Very knowledgeable and professional. They worked with on my ideas and even made some great suggestions i wouldn't have thought of. Highly recommended!

Been using KWL for multiple properties, ranging from 1.5k to 4k sq ft houses, for 3 years and have always had a positive experience. I have a much more in depth review on Yelp if you're interested. But they know their stuff and their workers are good and knowledgeable.
