We started with a backyard that was essentially unusable--mostly dirt and dead grass--and ended up with a space we actually want to spend time in. They handled the full transformation: Texas native plants, fresh sod, irrigation, lighting, a new patio with poured concrete pavers, a pergola, and decking built around our above-ground pool. The result feels intentional, cohesive, and well suited to both the climate and how we use the space. We worked with their designers to develop the plan, and that process was smooth and collaborative. They listened, had good instincts, and were happy to iterate with us until the design felt right. From first contact to breaking ground took about three months, which felt reasonable given the scope. Once construction started, everything moved fast--the entire project was completed around two to three weeks. Most importantly, we're extremely happy with the outcome. The yard is beautiful and dramatically more usable than before. Jason and Nikk were a pleasure to work with throughout: friendly, proactive, communicative, with good taste and a strong sense for design. I'd happily recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space.
Jason and the Southern Love landscaping team were amazing to work with and really made our backyard vision come to life. They built a deck for us with really impressive craftsmanship. They sourced all the right materials to match some of our existing landscaping, and gave great advice on native plants to put in. Not only are they incredibly talented and hard working but they are also very kind and great people to work with. Thank you again!!!
We had a wonderful experience working with Southern Love Landscaping from beginning to end. Jason was patient and thoughtful helping us get through the design process for our space. Once we agreed on plans, he accommodate our calendar and the crew showed up promptly to work on our set day. The crew worked hard and diligently, with an eye for detail and precision that we greatly appreciate. The owner Nikk came by on our final day to make sure the work was done right and to check-in with us. We were very pleased that not only the work was complete correctly and to our satisfaction but also that it was finished within the time frame they estimated with us initially. We are very happy with the results and are planning to work with them again for future projects. Thank you Southern Love and team!
We worked with Southern Love in May 2025 and had a wonderful experience. We did a little work the previous year with another company and the difference in professionalism and work was night and day. Harrison helped us envision the space and took all of our wants (and did not wants) into consideration and Nikk and the team made it all happen. We had them add irrigation off of an existing system, extend a rock bed around our tree, resod the entire yard, and build out the entire pool area - rock, pavers, deck and railing, and cowboy pool included. They coordinated directly with their electrician and the Cowboy Pool team so we were able to be hands off throughout the process. Communication from the entire team truly could not have been better. Nikk himself was in our backyard daily checking in with the crew and making sure everything was perfect. They delivered top tier work in just a couple of weeks and we could not be happier!
Amazing experience! Jason, Juan, Nikk and their Southern Landscape team were fantastic start to finish. We bid 5 firms and found working with Jason up front to be easy, collaborative, with great ideas & experience, and the prices to be competitive. The results from Juan & crew exceeded our high expectations and it was nice to engage with Nikk at the beginning of the build, too. Jason was connected to us throughout and made sure we had an amazing experience & finished product. All were incredibly responsive. Back story: our 18 yr old front yard was at the end of its line and had major erosion issues. We needed not only a lawn /plant replacement but functional improvements with irrigation and drainage. These guys are truly pros and we loved working with them. Highly recommended!!
