Home Services reviews in Houston, Texas

We worked with Laird to redesign our backyard into a comfortable entertainment area. That included fixing some drainage issues, screening off the existing porch, building a new patio detached from the house, and landscaping to make it work together seamlessly. The Laird crew was HARDWORKING thru some very rainy days. Our puppy even grew accustomed to seeing them outside the windows. I would highly recommend Laird. They did a great job from the beginning with interpreting our vision into a design and then executing to fit within the HOA needs. They will continue to be our landscaper of choice.

We had Vince and his crew install a drainage system in preparation for hurricane season, and we had it tested almost immediately with Hurricane Beryl. We took a direct hit and had more than seven inches of rain. Even when we were in the eye wall of the storm we had no ponding in low spots. Superb job.

Laird Landscaping finished landscaping my back yard recently – I would recommend them to anyone who has landscaping needs. We chose Laird Landscaping because:

- We knew they had been in business since the early 1980’s, so they had stood the test of time and would not disappear.
- They are local to our area so we are supporting a local business.
- They are professionals in their field.

But we got much more than we expected:

- They worked with us in advance to create a design that we love.
- They were so respectful of our wishes regarding use of chemicals and for choices of types of plants.
- They kept in communication as the date approached to kick off the work.
- They executed the work quickly and efficiently.

We dealt primarily with Laird Landscaping’s manager, Mark Corley; he was fantastic! We now have the back yard that we have wanted for so long!

I had some drainage issues in my backyard due to poor planning from our pool company. I contacted several companies to bid on the job to replace our drainage system (Pool back flow, gutter outlet, pool deck drains all connected to this drain line). Out of 3 companies that bid on our project...... Otis Laird came to our house and was thorough to explain what was needed and why. Otis included a drawing of catch basins needed as well as the reasons why we needed to change the system to smooth wall pipe. The other companies just gave us a bid to replace with corrugated pipe which would have caused the same issues that created our problem(crushed pipe and roots invading the entire system). The project took Laird landscaping 3 days to complete and I couldn't even tell that they dug a 50' ditch when they left. Everything was clean and the new drainage system is allowing us to enjoy our backyard again. They even managed to save the trees that they uprooted to do the work. If you have a landscape project call Laird landscaping. Great owner, great crew and great work ethic.

After having difficulty finding a landscape company that was reliable, I contacted Laird Landscaping and Mark Corley came to my house to develop a plan and give me an estimate on my backyard project, which consisted of removing old decks, a pergola, a fence, brick paving and a small lawn, and installing new ones, providing a drainage system and removing old landscaping and redesigning/planting new landscaping. During the course of the work, I also decided to have a sprinkler system, decorative lighting and a massive fountain installed. This was a considerable investment of time and money, but it was worth it. I have never seen people work so hard, even in the summer heat and rain! Everything was done professionally and precisely. The crew was always pleasant and considerate, and Mark was available every step of the way to make sure everything went smoothly. I you are committed to getting the best results for your home, I heartily recommend Laird Landscaping.

We were very happy with Laird Landscape. From the design to the installation, Mark Corley and his crew did a professional job on both front and back yards. They were not the lowest cost proposal, but we feel like we received good value for our money. The crews showed up promptly every day and cleaned up the work site at the end of each day.

The work scope included removing existing beds, relocating some plants, installing new drainage system, new sod, new beds with mortared rock edging, and stepping stones. They also installed landscape lighting in the front of the house. Overall, we were very satisfied with the finished product.

We’ve worked with Laird Landscaping twice on some hardscaping/drainage projects for our front and back yards. Their work is top notch and their team is extremely professional. Highly recommend reaching out to them!

Laird built a new tongue-in-groove covered patio that extended off our existing garage and completely re-designed the landscape in our backyard (including new sprinkler system). Their work was transformative and looks incredible. Trey provided us with some great suggestions throughout the process, and did an outstanding job overseeing/executing the project, including making some last-minute additions to include two dozen or so stepping stones. All of Laird's people are polite, respectful and extremely professional. They left the yard in great shape every day ,and at the end of the project. Highly recommend using them. And we'd call them back in a heartbeat to help us landscape other parts of our property.

We are thrilled with the improvements to our landscaping. Mark was so easy to work with: he listened to what I wanted, came up with a proposal that met everything I requested, and followed through to make the ideas reality. Mark and his teams, including Jose, uncharacteristically for contractors, were on time and did what they said they were going to do when they said it would be done. They started each day at 8am, and left the work site clean and accessible each evening. Our neighbors are complimenting the pretty rock edged beds and landscape lighting, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience throughout the project.

Laird Landscaping did a great job restoring our garden by removing weeds, planting new grass where needed, and cleaning all the plant beds. They arrived on time each of the 4 days their team of 3 men worked here. They were easy to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a landcaping company.

I have been using Laird Landscaping since 2015 - through 2 houses. They are always professional and reliable. They answer my questions and suggest solutions when asked. They are completely reliable. When they work on my yard they are on time and clean up after themselves when they are done. I really enjoy my yard now that Laird is tending to it. They make it beautiful and worry free for me

We started using Laird Landscaping 18 years ago for our previous home. Vince transformed both the front and back yards.

When we moved into our current home 12 years ago, Vince had wonderful ideas that, once again, transformed the current front and back yards from plain to beautiful.

The backyard in our current home had poor drainage. Rainwater would sit in deep puddles and kill the grass. Vince installed a drainage system that resolved the issue. We have never had standing water since.

His crew always shows up on time and cleans up every time for 18 years.

Vince also has done seasonal flowers each spring/fall for our previous and current homes.

We highly recommend Laird Landscaping.

Laird Landscaping did an amazing job on our front yard and backyard. The process from design creation to completion of the project was truly exceptional. Mark and I collaborated on the choice of materials and the final design worked perfectly with our home. The installation with Hector was incredibly meticulous and well executed. True professionals and great communication throughout the whole process. I’m just thrilled with the results! Thank you so much for everything!

We are very pleased with Laird Landscaping for the design and implementation of improvements to both our front and back yard. After meeting with us to hear what we wanted and making some suggestions, Mark created a detailed design along with a detailed cost. During implementation he met with us regularly to discuss progress and answer any questions. Fernando and his crew are skilled landscapers that brought the design to life. They showed up on time, worked hard and cleaned up at the end of each day.

Laird Landscaping did the landscaping in my front and backyard. They did a phenomenal job with the rock work and I love the placing of each plant. The design was perfect, the install was perfect, and communication was perfect. Mark and Trey were a pleasure to work with. They left my property clean and ready to show. Highly recommend this company.

Laird always does a great job! They have landscaped and hardscaped two homes for me. And I ask them to do semi-annual maintenance for my landscaping, also.

They do an excellent job with outdoor lighting. They are the best at design and implementation. I can’t recommend them enough.

The crews are very nice, fulltime employees who take pride in their work. I love that I see the same faces on every project.

Thanks, Laird Landscaping!

We decided to update our landscaping, and we are so happy to have chosen Laird Landscaping in Houston. Mark Corley has helped us with design, choosing plants appropriate to our yard, irrigation, and lighting. Jose and his team worked diligently, always cleaning up at the end of the day.

My wife and I wanted an outdoor kitchen for years. It was just one of those things that kept getting put off. One day I ran into Trey at Laird Landscaping so I shared with him my dream of that outdoor kitchen. Instantly he started recommending things that had never crossed my mind and I actually got excited for the first time about doing such a project. I wanted a “simple” outdoor kitchen sink and Trey’s idea was this gorgeous farm sink. I remember thinking that I would never use such a thing but my wife loved the idea, so we went with it.

Now I couldn’t be more thrilled! I use that thing EVERY SINGLE we cook outside!

I highly recommend Laird Landscaping. From beginning to final punch list Mark Corley and his crew got it done. Mark put together a drawing on sight during our first visit. It made it easy to see what we were getting. His crew was top notch! They were friendly and always left the work area clean and tidy every day. They only work M-F and leave by 4 so that was great to be able to not feel overwhelmed by dusk to dawn people in and out of yard. Our yard transformation turned out beyond our expectations. Thanks Mark!

Laird Landscaping re-designed and re-built the front walk, back patio, and all associated front and back landscaping for our home in the Katy area. They do exceptional work, and we have been extremely pleased with the results. They listen to what you want, develop the design for your review, and then implement it. They also communicate in advance when they expect to start and the property access they will need. We think of them more as craftsmen than as landscapers. They fully understand that, during the course of their work, they may interfere with the homeowner’s daily home access. So at the end of each day, everything is cleaned up as much as practical and possible. And at the end of the job, the entire area is fully cleaned up, as if they were never there. Laird Landscaping is a highly professional organization, with highly skilled workers who know exactly what they are doing. We highly recommend them.

Laird did an excellent job of pavestone walkway repair and reapplying sand, updating planted areas, fountain cleaning and more. Pleasant, happy team that works well together. Professional. Thanks to Trey, Fernando, Refugio.
