Abey, Austin Creative Landscaping, subcontracted Flix Fencing for fence portion of landscape work We completed payment to ACL when fencing (installed under his supervision by Flix Fencing) was substantially complete on April 2. Almost 3 months later, the work has not been completed. At this point, it's a safety hazard. The job site has not been cleaned up from work done over 3 months ago. Pieces of metal are strewn on ground. Some of the work is shoddy (wobbly, not straight, gate will not open enough to move lawnmower.) We had to do work on uncompleted fence to prevent dog's escape. The process of staining fence and adding landscaping cannot be started. Our contract administrator provided a detailed punch list. The list is long. It could be followed as a checklist.
Response from Austin Creative Landscaping
"Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Please know that I really enjoy my work and take great pleasure in providing my customers with the highest demeanor and quality of work. I'm sorry that we did not reach that standard with you. Per. the specifics of your review: 1) The "problem areas" were not in the agreement we agreed upon. The agreement called for an 8' tall Cedar Picket fence. In the middle of the project, contrary to the recommendation of your architect, Flix Fencing and myself, you decided to change the bottom 1/3 of the fence to heavy gauge wire panel. In an attempt to save you money and help the aesthetics of the project, we encouraged you to eliminate the stone at the bottom of the fence if you were going to change out the wood to steel paneling. Again, you went against our recommendation. The inability to securely fasten the panel made the fence more wobbly than it would have had you kept to the original plan. 2) The second problem area is an enclosure that you and your architect agreed upon with Flix Fencing. I was never in on the conversation. Apparently there are elements of that project that you are not pleased with but are holding me responsible. How can I be responsible for that which I was never informed of and was never in my agreement with you? 3)You stated that the site is now a safety hazard and that there are pieces of metal strewn on the ground...Well, that just simply is not accurate. The day you wrote this review, I came to your home and visited with you hoping for an amicable resolution. I walked through the property with you asking where the safety hazards were and where the pieces of metal were. We saw one fine piece of twirled up sheet metal shaving that obviously came from the General Contractor and not us. You yourself acknowledged that. I don't know if there is any way for there to be a remedy, but if so please let us know and to the best of our ability we would be happy to accommodate. Sincerely, Abey K. Bruce"

Wonderful. Abey came on time, made great suggestions, I narrowed down to what I wanted to do this year, and I made some changes. He was very easy to work with and his crew was great. The stonework on the flowerbed looks even, level, curves just right. My irrigation needed lots of re-do, and that was done. 2 large beds weeded - mulched - edged. 2 other large beds dug up - planted - mulched, new sod replaced areas that had turned to weeds, small tree moved, raised beds dismantled - turned to sod. All went very well and timely.

Met with Abey in early October to discuss possible ideas and solutions to landscaping problems & improvements. Abey gave me some great ideas and suggestions and later submitted to me his written quote. After exchanging a few telephone calls and emails, we decided on the final project.
As soon as the plants were obtained Abey and his crew went to work. The entire team was very easy to work, professional and expedient.
I would highly recommend Austin Creative Landscaping to everyone!! Abey is very personable, listens and conscientious!
Thank you Abey and your team for a "job well done"!!

I called Abbey on a Friday and he came by the house about 2:00 that same day. Job was scheduled a week later from Monday - Thursday. They came on Monday and worked until about 5:30 pruning the primrose jasmine which is extensive and weeded the beds. Tuesday we had the nasty ice storm. They came back Wednesday-Friday and finished the job. Abey works diligently with his crew. Everyone was pleasant and professional.
I can't wait until the Spring to see the results of the pruning. I certainly would hire them again.

I have a complex garden with shrubs, flowers, trees, extensive groundcover (jasmine), and grass areas. There are numerous flower beds and walkways. I had let it go too long without maintenance. Abey Bruce came today with his crew to overhaul the whole place and they did a top-notch job. Not only was all work performed according to our agreement, but they showed a good eye for detail in the execution and clean up. Now the whole place looks great.
Before he started, Abey gave me a written description of all the work so there would be no confusion about the scope. While he was here I could tell he knew his stuff, because he knew the names of all my plants and the right ways to trim them. He was courteous and professional. He began the work and completed it they day he said he would.

My yard has several large landscaping beds that I have neglected for the past year (or more!). We decided to sell our house with little notice and I needed help to make the beds look presentable to prospective home buyers. Abey returned my message quickly and was able to do the work for us within just a couple of days. Abey and Jack did an excellent job cleaning up our yard - so much so that a Travis County Master Gardener fell in love with our yard and offered to buy our house the first day it was listed! Abey is very friendly, a joy to work with, very knowledgeable about plants, and has great landscaping ideas. I definitely recommend him.

After some initial miscommunication, Abey came out to take a look at our property and provide a quote. He was on time, friendly, professional, and provided a number of different options for us. We have a large property and he cut it twice (at the pro-rated annual rate) so we could see how things went. His guy did a great job. However, in the end, we selected another company that will complete the same work for half the price. We've tested them as well and they also do a very good job. If I had a small yard, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Abey. However, he was just too expensive for our size property.
