Landscaping reviews in Houston, Texas

Chris & team did an incredible transformation of our backyard with installation of artificial turf, gravel, lights and restoration of our pool deck.
Chris was easy to contact regarding questions/concerns.
We would definitely recommend this company.
Thanks, Helms Landscape!

We hired Chris to complete a pet friendly artificial turf install in January 2023 for our ~850 sq ft backyard.

We are very happy with the turf, workmanship, and professionalism before/during the job. We would definitely recommend this company and plan to use them for work in our front yard in the future.

As you can see from the video, the turf is also dog approved!

If you are looking for quality turf installation at a fair price, look no further! Chris was very easy to work with. He helped me find a solution for my backyard that was within my budget without trying to over sell me.

His team also retiled around my pool and did beautiful work.

Chris and his team are the real deal. They came in and totally transformed every inch of our 12k sqft lot, and we love every bit of it!

We did extensive research before deciding to hire Chris and his great reviews are well earned. Chris was incredibly helpful and responsive in providing suggestions for new plants and other design aspects. The whole project came together way better than I could have imagined thanks to Chris’ vision, attention to detail, and a couple of nice touches he added in that really demonstrate the quality of workmanship.

Chris and his team really did it all. They demoed our lot and reworked our grading to fix the drainage issues we were having, including by adding French drains and tying in our downspouts. Other scope of work included turfing our back yard with a diamond paver patio, a new driveway, relocating our wrought iron gate, concrete pavers, a gravel parking pad, new plant beds, putting in Zoysia grass in our front yard, and re-building our irrigation system. Chris even worked his schedule around some other work we had going on our sewer line. I will definitely be using Chris for any future landscaping project.

Thanks again, Chris! We enjoyed the process and appreciate your honesty.

Chris and his crew did an outstanding job! We hired him to replace our backyard grass with turf and to demo and replace our existing patio with 3x3 concrete pavers and turf between them. He did some landscaping for us as well. We are quite picky, and anything we approached Chris with he was happy to accommodate. Always on time, very responsive, cleaned up at the end of each day. I would highly recommend Chris Helms. Very hard working. I would definitely hire him again!

I highly recommend Chris and his team at Helms Landscaping. The service and final product are outstanding! Their bid was fair and straightforward unlike every other bid we received. He started in the timeframe he initially gave us. His foreman, Milton, was very nice, professional, and detail oriented which made the process delightful. Everything he said he would do happened…and more. Changes required during the process were easy and they had great recommendations to improve the design. To our surprise the final product was better than we could have expected. We will use Helms landscaping for all of our future needs. Thanks Chris!!!

We hired Chris and his crew for a complete landscaping overhaul - turf, putting green, planting (trees, flowers, plants), irrigation, drainage, gravel, fences, lighting, concrete, and brickwork.

He and his team worked extremely hard to completely transform our backyard to match the vision we had in mind. We’ve spent so much time enjoying our yard with our kids and friends thanks to Chris.

Chris was extremely easy to work with. He was very responsive, always replying to texts or calls almost immediately. Any question or concern we had was addressed promptly. He was onsite multiple times per week, if not daily, to check in and make sure everything was perfect. His crew always cleaned up the job site at the end of the day.

It’s obvious that Chris takes pride in his work and wants the best for his clients. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for an honest, high quality, fairly priced, landscaping company no matter the size of the project.

Chris and his team at Helms Landscaping are incredible! From his professional team members to the exquisite attention to detail that they showed my project. He and his team have transformed my space to make it a place where my family wants to spend time; and recreated some of our favorite memories from our travels abroad right in our backyard. For that I’m grateful.

Chris and his team deserve 10 stars! We were moving into a newly built home and wanted the back yard turfed, along with pavers for the furniture area installed prior to moving in. I received three quotes and couldn't be happier with my decision! Installing quality turf and additional products is not an inexpensive task and you most certainly get what you pay for with Helms Landscape Design! The quality of their workmanship is A+!! I had quite a few special requests; Chris never said "no" but figured out how to get it done every time.
His team is HIGHLY professional, kind, considerate and make sure they go the extra mile to take care of the customer. As my husband and I are also small business owners, it is refreshing to meet a fellow business owner that works with a servant's heart. Chris and his team most certainly do!
I would not hesitate to refer anyone to them, regardless of project size!
I have attached a few photos--(the faux boxwood on the fence was my doing, so if you hate it, blame that on my handywork, not theirs!) Call Helms Landscape Design for your yard today...you won't be disappointed!

Chris did a great job landscaping and building around our newly installed pool and worked very well with our pool builder. The scope included turf, pergola, pavers, drainage, irrigation, and new plants/trees. Everything was done with high quality and he was prompt with his work. The turf looks great and big win for a lower maintenance yard. I recommend and would use again.

We utilized Chris and his crew for the full gambit of landscaping - grading and underground french drainage of the whole lot (tie-in of all downspouts, catch basins, drainage lines to front ditch), irrigation system, artificial turf prep and installation, new wood fence along the side and rear of lot with sliding gate, concrete walkway steps, and all of the final landscaping (black star gravel, dirt, plants, flowers, yews, and a Japanese maple).

To be blunt, we have very high expectations - realistic expectations, but generally expect people to deliver what they claim they're capable of delivering and hold them accountable to exactly that. Chris and the guys delivered. The quality of the drainage work, turf (prep work through final finished product), irrigation (with Rain Bird control), and all of the plants/flowers/shrubbery was very good. The fence sub could benefit from occasional QC checks during construction, but nominally satisfactory. Chris stays jammed up with work, which says a lot with all of the available options on the market. Patience is key. We made some improvements along the way on communication which also helped. Chris is a straight shooter and enjoyable to work with.

We're very happy that we got linked up with Helms Landscaping. Great experience overall, and very proud of the final outcome to put the finishing touches on our never-ending home renovation. Kudos to Chris and his guys for taking a lot of pride in the work that they do. It's getting increasingly more difficult to find folks like them. I would definitely vouch for and recommend Chris to anyone ready to tackle a landscaping project big or small.

Chris Helms - Never Not Working!

Chris and his team did a great job updating our back and front yard. I liked their recommendations and expertise with the type of plants, trees and lights to install. The staff while on site were professional and respectful. I appreciated the follow up after the work was done to ensure I was completely satisfied. I did bid them out against other local businesses, and by far price and value exceeded my expectations. Thank you Chris!

Chris did an outstanding job with our backyard landscaping. They added a custom large sized waterfall ( exactly looked like the inspiration picture we sent him). They also re did our turf and installed more sprinklers, lighting, added a second water feature by the sunroom and lots of trees and flower bushes. The plants are small size and will likely take 1-2 years to grow into their real size but we are very excited for our backyard to mature and look even more beautiful. Chris and his team are great with communication, very efficient. They finished the task in the estimated time frame. He acknowledged and worked on any questions we had during this process. Their prices are very competitive. Highly recommend using this company for any landscaping needs.

Chris Helms and his team did a phenomenal job renovating our backyard! We could not have had a better experience. It literally looks better than what we were expecting. Chris designed the backyard with some ideas I had in mind and made it into a reality within a couple weeks. Very accurate and detailed estimate and stayed true to it the entire time. The work was performed very professionally by his crew. They took the time to do the job the right way and it turned out perfect. Cannot recommend them enough. The landscaping and turf looks phenomenal. The putting green was carefully planned by a consultant of their team. Plays beautifully and will be a fun challenge to keep me engaged instead of a flat boring green like I have seen others do. If you are looking for a backyard specialist to do the job right, look no further! Thanks again Chris!

Chris and his team we fantastic, he was the most responsive and informative when initially reaching out to all turf companies around Houston. They did fantastic work that my entire family love. Very glad we decided to go with Heim’s Landscape, and would recommend to anyone looking. Thank you Chris!

Chris and his team came highly recommended by at least one of our neighbors, so we contracted him to overhaul our back yard. We put in turf, a flowerbed with trees, stone edging, lighting, irrigation adjustments, built a fence to hide AC, and more. It's now perfect for our dog and to play with our toddler. Working with Chris was awesome - he does fantastic quality work and always makes sure to get things exactly right (and doesn't hesitate to re-do something if he feels it could be better!) It's truly a personal experience working with Chris and he and his crew give your project the time and attention it needs.

We are absolutely in love with our backyard thanks to Helms Landscaping! These guys have our neighbors and guests and even our routine yard guys at awe with how beautifully it turned out. We 100% recommend Chris and his hard working team!

Chris and his team did such a wonderful job on our driveway and sidewalks! The entire process was fairly seamless and they very promptly got the job done after all the paperwork was signed. Chris, the owner, was also very good at giving us updates almost daily about the progress and any timeline changes. I highly recommend this company!!

Worked with Chris Helms and his crew to redo our back yard which was a blank slate. Chris helped us finalize our vision and provided great recommendations. We got 3 quotes and felt Helms Landscape provided exceptional value while using premium materials and worksmanship. We did turf, patio extension, a flowerbed with Eagleston Hollys, chopped stone edging, landscape lighting, faux green wall, fence around AC, hang outdoor TV and fan, etc. We are so happy with how it turned out and they worked surprisingly fast, it got scheduled right away and they were done within a week. Thanks Chris for working with us to get exactly what we had hoped for!

Wanted to wait through a couple of seasons to see how everything held up. We are so pleased with the attention to detail, precision, and finished product with Chris Helms and team. The communication throughout the project was easy and clear. The estimate for our project was on the higher end from others, but ultimately you get what you pay for, and we got high end, top notch, excellent quality work. We’d no doubt use him and his team again.

Chris and his team did an excellent job on the design and installation of turf, flowerbeds, and raised planters in our backyard. The crew worked efficiently, kept the site clean, and stayed on schedule with clear communication throughout.

We’re adding plants this spring and can’t wait to see the finished product come to life. Even now, the space feels completely transformed. We highly recommend Chris and his team.
