Garden Guy – Houston’s Trusted Residential Landscaping Experts Since 1991
Todd from Garden Guy just finished re-doing our front flowerbeds. His price was fair, I liked his expertise on knowing what plants would survive with our North-facing garden, loved his design choices, and especially liked that he is familiar with First Colony restrictions and codes. I heartily recommend his services! Oh! And job was completed in one day with great looking plants.
We recently had the Garden Guy do our landscaping in the front and back. It has turned out beautiful and they were such a pleasure to work with. I’ve never had a landscaper till now show up when promised and deliver healthy plants as expected. Thank you so much!
I recently engaged Todd (The Garden Guy) to redo my front flower beds. The initial meeting with Todd was very relaxed and he listened intently to fully understand my needs. He was on time on the day of installation (even though it was a cold a nasty day), completed the work timely and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. The final product was better than I had imagined! I highly recommend Todd for your landscaping needs. It was an extreme pleasure doing business with him.
I would like to thank Todd and the Garden Guy crew for the great job they did on my front flower beds about a month ago. They replaced everything except two trees and we love the way the new look. Our yard needed a refresh as a result of our friend Hurricane Harvey, and Garden Guy did not disappoint. The work was all done in just one day and all of the plants are looking great! Thanks also to Sabrina for being very responsive to our questions.
Garden Guy really does quality work. They re-sodded my front yard. They removed all the dead grass, added sand and dirt, tilled it all together well and then laid the sod. They also gave me instructions on how to take care of it, such as watering daily for 2 weeks and fertilizing in March. The yard looks fantastic now!
Todd is very knowledgeable and kind! He gave us options for what we were wanting to plant in our backyard and helped us make it work for our budget. His team was efficient and very clean with the job. I would highly recommend the Garden Guy for any yard/garden needs!
Todd did a fabulous job for us. Worked with us on our budget and his work was timely and so neat! Yard looks great and you would have never known they were there. It was spotless. Great guy! Support local!
Based on positive reviews from neighbors on Next Door, I decided to give Garden Guy a try. I showed Todd photos from HOUZZ and together we put together a design to extend my outdoor patio with pavers. I am very pleased with the results. After the cold weather, I plan to have Todd do more landscaping. And, I felt his pricing is fair. You get what you pay for.
