Other local Pros in your area
When we started in 2006 from the spare room in our home, we knew we wanted to address the challenges of Central Texas soil and weather by treating employees like family and each lawn like our own. Now, with three branches across Central Texas, our growing team is still dedicated to helping ensure that folks from San Antonio to Waco have a green & weed-free lawn, healthy trees & shrubs, and fewer outdoor pests.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
I initially met with Alexa in March, as well as meeting with another landscaper. I eventually decided to go with Fertile Grounds because a) they were cheaper and b) I want to support organic and local businesses. It took a while to get the first plans back, but once we got the ball rolling the work was great. The installed a stone and gravel pathway, two limestone retaining walls and three waist height reclaimed corrugated roof metal planters, all of which I love. Alexa had some great ideas and once the rest of my house construction is done we'll be installing pomegranate trees and some hogwire trellises from planter to planter to create a shaded walkway through them.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
I had recently bought a house that had a very neglected yard, but a lot of huge beds that someone had put in maybe 10-15 ears ago. This was a project that took a couple of months start to finish in the Spring. Julie, the owner, spent sufficient time with me to get to know her before I hired her. First she "cleaned up" -- weeded, took out, pruned what was here. This was a big job and included removing dead plants and plants that had been overgrown as well as weeding. Her expertise at pruning was excellent. Then, she laid an incredible amount of compost/soil and mulch. This cost us more than other companies, I've used other companies who say they will nourish the soil with amenities and do very little. She really gave a neglected yard what it needed. At this point I paid her for the work she had done. Then, she made a plan, a landscape design. She took time to find out what I liked and didn't like. She preferred native plants or plants well adapted to our climate, which set with me fine. She met with me again to discuss the plan and made a few changes on my request. Then, she implemented the plan. Her whole crew comes to plant so it's all done in a couple of days. After all was done, she returned a couple weeks later to check on plants and "tweek" a couple of things on my request. We spent a lot of money, but that price included 12 small tree/large shrub, 1 live oak, sodding the front lawn, and 60-70 smaller plants as well as everything mentioned above.
