Landcraft

We’ve renovated three houses over the years, and I can only think of one other company who has impressed us as much as Landcraft landscaping.
The owner, Richard, is just brilliant. He spent an hour in our yard, fielding all my questions, and came up with a plan that included considerations for slope and drainage, sunny and shady areas, gutter downspouts… every detail of our yard. More impressively, he considered our daughter’s safety, and made recommendations for kid-​friendly edging and non-​poisonous plants. He took our basic idea to remove concrete and create a play area, and created a lovely plan with two seating areas, a walking path, and a gorgeous array of plants.
Landcraft is amazingly reliable. I called on Tuesday, had a consultation Wednesday, he had a plan drawn up Thursday, and we walked through it that weekend. Work began the following Monday. The crew showed up every day for 3.5 weeks around 7:30am, and left around 5:30pm. One of them has been with Richard for 15 years. Richard was there every day, too, overseeing everything and following up with me as necessary. Their work was outstanding. Every detail was exactly as it was drawn on the plan, even the spacing between plants. They created a stone patio, and I had no idea how much work was required! You have to break the stones to fit against one another, and chip away to flatten the tops, so there was a lot of room to cut corners, but they spent five days making sure it was absolutely perfect.
They really did everything as best as it could be done. The patio was leveled with a soft slope in three different directions. They painstakingly dug away dirt with a shovel to make way for the granite path without hurting the nearby roots of trees. They cut each square of sod perfectly, so that they fit seamlessly together and along the borders.
One benefit of having Richard there every day was that he was able to change things up as needed. For example, we had a fence put in during that time, and he was able to direct the guys to other tasks so everything could keep moving forward. Likewise, we were able to change little things along the way without a hiccup.
The quality of the plants and materials he uses is top notch! Richard even went to two garden centers to try to find a plant I really liked. He also suggested a specific kind of decomposed granite and sand for the sandbox. This guy is seriously detail-​oriented.
We really couldn’t be happier with Landcraft, and plan on using them to landscape our front yard next year. The price was very reasonable, and the value outstanding.

Richard was helpful, no-​nonsense, and reasonable throughout the entire project, and I’d call him without question in the future if I needed more landscaping done!
The recent rains caused water to pool up against the side of my house, and Richard and his crew quoted a reasonable price with a smart, low-​maintenance plan to take care of the problem. They were out within a couple of weeks to get the job done, and did it thoroughly and professionally. Richard checked in on the progress personally throughout the week, and ensured that everything was well taken care of.
Hire Landcraft without fear!

Richard did a great job on my landscaping. My house is built on a hill in Dripping Springs and I had significant drainage issues with water pooling at the front of the house during storms. Richard’s challenge was to solve the drainage issues and add a new natural looking hill country landscape to enhance my yard. Richard devised a plan with extensive french drains, pipes and grading to solve the drainage issues. He incorporated native rocks and plants to conceal the drains and it all looks very beautiful. Richard also constructed beds with limestone blocks and filled the beds with deer and shade tolerant plants — not an easy combination but required for my heavily treed lot. Lastly, he added a sprinkler system, shade tolerant grass and six new trees to complete the project. It all looks beautiful and having seen the drains perform in recent storms I’m happy to see the drainage problems are solved! On top of the great work, Richard actually reduced the price at the end of the project due to finding some less expensive trees than quoted — even though he encountered a few issues during the project that he addressed and did not charge extra for. How often does that happen! I would not hesitate to recommend Richard for drainage and landscaping projects.

Simply the best! Richard is very knowledgeable and professional. We hired Landcraft ten years ago to add curb appeal to our first home. After my husband and I recently moved back to Austin we hired Landcraft again and the team was great. The guys even took my trash cans to the curb when I forgot. Our home looks beautiful and the best part is I know the landscaping will be drought tolerant and relatively maintenance free. Richards uses the best products– large stones and large healthy plants. He also communicates very clearly about budget and costs throughout the project. I highly recommend Landcraft, the team will transform your yard into an oasis.
