"The original project (new lawn and flower bed converted to cactus plants and river rock) expanded after suggestions from Jodie, but I am pleased with the end result. I now have a garden that looks more open, tidy and attractive - plus importantly for me, low maintenance. When getting visits and quotes for the proposed work, I sensed Jodie was likely a passionate gardener herself and it was more than a job. One final comment from my neighbor about the guys doing the heavy work, when I apologized for the extra vehicle parking, he commented that they were very courteous and caused no problems."

"Happy to be the first to leave a review. I'd give 10 stars if I could! Todd and his team were OUTSTANDING from start to finish. Not only does he have an amazing eye but he's a great human being!! Fair price and no-nonsense. I told Todd from the beginning he could have full creative control. We had some ideas that he turned into something we never could have imagined. INCREDIBLE!!! I added a "Before" photo of what the backyard had become after the weather and our dogs ruined a lush St. Augustine yard over the last couple of years. I would recommend Todd and the Heroes team to anyone looking for quality work from a respectful crew."

Southern Landscape Solutions is a locally owned and operated company in the Central Texas area. Southern Landscape Solutions is a member of the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association and holds an Irrigation License through TCEQ with a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture.
"After spending $40k+ on a complete irrigation system, landscaping (grass and plants) and hardscape we ask Sean to come back to finish the project and add some additional irrigation. He came by as promised, took notes on what we wanted, which was minor compared to the work he had already done, and said he would get back to us. Never heard from him again. He has NEVER followed-up on the original job to ensure everything was working. Some of the plants he installed died, he said he would take of that. Never heard from him again. This was not the first time we used this company, but I would never recommend them or would I ever hire this company again. E-mailed several times early on to find out what was happening, NO response ever. Very disappointed in a company we thought was reliable and trustworthy."

At Neptune Sprinklers we pride ourselves on the fact that we have never installed a system that we couldn't use as a referral. During the biding process we will take the time to listen to your needs and concerns and come up with the best solution to irrigate your lawn in the most efficient fashion. We use only the best products available for residential sprinkler systems. Hunter and Rainbird are the only brands we use. Through my 16 years of experience I have found that these brands are by far the best, with the least amount of problems. Although there is only a 3 year manufactures warranty on these parts, I have found that these brands will last far beyond the warranty period. Take your time to browse through our site and give us a call when you are ready for your free estimate. The service fee charge is from $80 up to $100 depending locations. 1 hour cancellation notice.
"First off, WE cannot thank Chris and team enough for the level of work they put into our yard! It was a difference maker! The level of customer service these guys deliver is really special. There are many "like" companies, and they all have their busy schedules and skills, but Chris and Neptune just stood out well above everyone else. It started with the quote. He arrived on time and prepared, and had the quote done the next day. Once we scheduled the job he was on time and managed the job personally. Our job was quite complicated to include water pressure issues, and we could not be happier with the completed project! You just don't expect this level of customer service from companies like this, at least we didn't, and what a refreshing surprise to know that company's like Chris' DO exist. The old addadge that customer service matters is so important, because "word of mouth" advertizing can be so powerful. Chris can count on us to share our story! We appreciate the pride these guys put into their work. Thank you Neptune!"

"Everything went great from a call from Chris and a very fast response to come out. He did he measurements and got back with a design plan. Once we agreed he started when he said and completed the project as said. Made a few small changes along the way and I understood there would be a change or order fee but it was worth it. His vision in a plan with what I had just talked about I wanted was spot on. Yes I would and will hire him again. Another decision helper for me was that he is a veteran and that is big when it comes down to looking at estimates."

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.
Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design.
While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.
Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.
Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
