Drainage reviews in San Antonio, Texas

Bottom line: this business skirted responsibilities, was intentionally vague in a quote, and was borderline unethical in the handling of the job.

Things started off promising - Nadia was friendly and informative, and did a good job selling me on her business practices. After getting competing quotes, DNS came in lowest, but the written quote I received was very vague, so I had Nadia come back out to discuss what the quote included, and we talked verbally about my concerns about water drainage in particular. She assured me that her team would take care of it. I took it for granted that I would get what was verbally promised, and didn’t get it written into the quote. Surprise, the water drainage is still a huge issue, and when I wrote to request that it be fixed, I received the email I attached. Dodging responsibility. The work quality is okay, but if you decide to use this company be VERY SURE to get everything IN WRITING. By the way, make sure your quote is all in (i.e. includes taxes)... my final invoice was almost $400 more than I agreed to because when Nadia said “I’ll do it for $4000” no one specified if that included taxes and fees, and the quote doesn’t say either.

We highly recommend DNS for any landscaping needs. Nadia is so knowledgeable as well as professional. Mona is fantastic working out the logistics and our project was completed in a timely manner with wonderful results. We will definitely have all of our future landscaping projects completed and planned with DNS.

Very happy with the work Nadia and her team did on my backyard xeriscape project. She took me through the whole thing from start to finish offering layout ideas, providing sketches and then making sure everything was done right. Never felt pressured. I plan to have her do the front yard soon.

Poor quality work. Didn't communicate when they were changing things. They pulled a cable out of the ground that they didn't know what it was for then refused to put it back because it may be electrical. Not sure why they even touched it to began with. They installed a drainage system and did not connect one of the gutter spouts that they said they were going to and did not tell me. When I asked. Nadia's excuse is that they had electrical flags by that spout yet they dug the pop up drain not far from it. They put tiny flagstone for my walking path instead of the medium sized ones. They did patch like work on the concrete slab they poured. And I have standing water on it now cause part of it dips. And Nadia said not to contact them again and that they would cease all communication with me. I am suppose to have a 1 year warranty on my drainage system. Not sure how that is going to work.

**No one called me and I have not changed my number. **

I have noticed the pressure on the sprinkler s in my back yard have low pressure. I noticed that the irrigation license listed on their website is not their license. I also found more areas in the yard where the cable was hidden under rock instead of being put back.

DNS did a great job on our lawn. Very well priced and professional. Highly recommend to anyone needing new sod and irrigation needs.

I had a very large residential job I needed to get right and DNS delivered. Nadia and her team's knowledge of what needed to get done was spot on and she did everything she said she would do and more. I would recommend DNS to anyone needing major or minor landscape design projects. I am very happy with their services.

DNS Landscaping did an excellent job in my yard. Their work, communication and attitude was professional and helpful. I especially thank Nadia and Mona for prompt replies and their concern for my satisfaction. I will definitely use them again.

I enjoyed working with Nadia and her team. We first met to discuss landscape design. She is well-versed in the industry. I wanted to add an acupressure rock path to my xeriscape design. She knew the right rocks to use and how to place them. Her choice of stones for the xeriscape blends well with the design of my home. She is responsive to questions and concerns and responds to inquiries in a timely manner. I had a dilemma concerning my sprinkler system. She had the answer without even a second thought. When she works on your project, you are her focus. I highly recommend Nadia and her team for your landscape design projects.

Nadia with DNS Landscaping completed an amazing re-design of our residential back and front yards that is absolutely gorgeous! We asked Nadia to complete the design and install to provide a partial xeriscape in our backyard complete with flagstone walkways and a large english style rock garden in our front yard. DNS provided fixed proposals, a timely schedule, a beautifully creative design and completed a professionally executed job within a few weeks. We could not be happier. Thank you, Nadia and team!!! Laurie and Mike

Amazing service! They provide the utmost Care when it comes to providing landscaping. Nadia has lots of knowledge with plants and was very helpful with my lawn. Thank you again!!!!

Nadia and her crew showed up in time. They worked very hard to help me a deadline I had. Quality work. They landscaped front and back and laid new sod. Ready for photos. Nadia understood our needs and made sure they were met. I highly recommend them!

It was a pleasure working with Nadia and her team from DNS Landscaping on our conversion project from grass to xeriscape. Our home was the cookie cutter, builder designed yard with very few shrubs and lots of grass (and the very high water bill to go with it.)
From our first appointment to completion Nadia under promised and over delivered every step of the way. She was patient while explaining the process and pricing to us and we could not be more delighted with the outcome. She is a great designer and project manager and our vision of a river bed running down the side of our corner lot with placement of flowering plants and boulders came to life in just three days. Unbelievable!
We highly recommend Nadia and DNS Landscaping.

Nadia and her team did a great job. She designed a landscape after listening to our desires. And then they brought it to life beautifully. There were several delays due to weather, but Nadia kept me informed along the way. Would happily hire her again.

I’ve used DNS Landscaping several times over the past few years. Nadia, her foreman, and the rest of the crew are always very professional and do fantastic work. Nadia is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to plants and landscaping. She constantly visits landscaping jobs to make sure everything is going to plan, in addition to answering any questions I ever have. I would highly recommend DNS Landscaping!

Nadia and her team are extremely professional and very easy to work with. She was easily accessible from design to following up weeks after the project, to make sure everything is just the way that we wanted. We will not hesitate to use her services in the future and love our newly landscaped yard - thank you!!

I got 4 bids for the concrete patio and retaining wall work DNS completed. Their bid was competitive. Nadia was very professional, knowlegeable and responsive. Crew was quick and did excellent work. They cleaned up daily. Very happy with their work, plan to have them do some more work in the near future.

We couldn’t be more pleased with DNS Landscaping and the work that Nadia has done for us in our yard. She has simplified our xeriscape and reduced the need for water by creating beautiful islands of native plants surrounded by tasteful hardscape. She has such a gifted eye for design and the ability and the team to implement her vision to perfection. We will certainly continue to use Nadia for all our landscape projects and will recommend her without reservation to all who admire the work she has done for us.

In my 11 years of military service, I've come to expect the highest standards of initiative and performance from businesses as I am expected to have for my duties.

DNS Landscaping demonstrates superior initiative, communication skills, and prompt execution than that of many military facets I have worked in. The drive and tenacity of their leadership team is apparent through the virtually flawless work they perform. I have been wholly impressed by their business modality and will use them solely for all future landscaping endeavors.

Nadia and her crew are awesome!! She has done several jobs for me. My dog is a digger she came up with a great idea and worked perfectly. Also built me a walkway ramp the way I designed on paper nobody else wanted to do it without cutting down my tree, she came with a better idea then mine and my tree still is up and growing She has so much experience, patience and knowledge. She has a big heart!! Love working with this young lady.

I am extremely happy with the work done by DNS! They installed some stone flower beds, steps down an incline in my yard and some tree rings. Nadia designed and the crew implemented exactly what I wanted. Everyone was great to work with and obviously very knowledgeable. I love that they stick with a single job until it is done. There was no disappearing to do work elsewhere. The only thing that kept them from coming was the weather a few times…to be expected. Now that the initial work is done, DNS will be doing my ongoing maintenance. I very highly recommend DNS Landscaping!

Nadia and her team were very knowledgeable and professional. They
did a great job on the French drain and tied a drip line system to our sprinkler. All the work was very neat and we can barley tell where it was done. We did get 4 other estimates, but by far Nadia's was the most reasonable. Would highly recommend!!!
