We have had the patio and pergola for a little over a year now and couldn’t be more pleased. The pergola is everything we wanted it to be. It is great being able to host parties in our backyard. Have had no problems with fence. Jim was very easy to work with and kept us informed on how the work was going to proceed.
Description of Work
We had Jim add a concrete patio and pergola to our backyard to our specifications. He stained and scored the patio and stained the pergola. He also fixed a leaning fence.

Description of Work
Excavated rock from hillside to make a level area. placed basketball goal in concrete. poured concrete surface for court. built stone wall around it. laid 2 stone patios, curved stairway down to the court, stone walkway, stone planters. Built stone "patio" on the side of the house for the cans and a fence to screen from the view of the street. Replaced grass. Also installed custom netting around the court. Installed a french drain on the side of the house to help driveway drain from rain water. | |Am so pleased at the results. My husband was skeptical about the project, but told me that he really, really likes the results, and my son uses it all the time to practice his basketball skills. Sometimes we will just hang out down there and enjoy a cool breeze.

I’m sitting here enjoying my new backyard patio/recreation/basketball area. Jim said to me often (though, come to find out he didn’t even know he was saying it), “going to make it beautiful!” That statement instilled a confidence in him, letting me know that I could rely on him to make me happy with the results. And I AM! In fact, I am more and more pleased every day that my family enjoys it since completion. I called Austin Dreamscapes for a bid to create a basketball court in an area of my yard that was on a slope. The job would involve cutting into the side of the slope, into solid rock, to level the area for a court. His bid wasn’t the cheapest or the most expensive, but he seemed like he would be easy to work with; approachable and open to my input, which was important to me. Excavation was the 1st major part. They weren’t able to bring in large equipment, so this had to be completed with a jackhammer; poor Marco did all of this. [Oh, before I go on, I should say Marco and Hugo, his main guys, are the best; hard working and very pleasant to be around.] The excavation, took a better part of a week due to the amount that had to be removed. When this was complete, they put the basketball goal in the ground, and we decided that the goal would look better placed behind the retaining wall – we were right (or maybe it was Jim’s idea). The retaining wall was built, and we then decided to expand the project with upper stone patio, which was on the inside curve of stone steps leading down to the court. The slab was poured. After that I asked them to put a stone planter at the other edge of the area, so that the area would have a nice finished and uniform look. The upper patio (about 4 feet above the court area) area became a concern for both Jim and I due to the risk of someone falling off. So Jim suggested putting columns and 1 rail across the top to prevent the accidental fall, yet leaving it mostly open for an unobstructed view of the court. The posts for the netting were initially going to be placed in front of the existing iron fence, but I asked Jim if we could use the existing posts. He was open to the idea of trying to find poles that could be placed inside of the square fence posts, and found some that fit perfectly. He special ordered the nets and when these were up, they looked great, without having 2 fences making the area look too busy or cluttered. Between the fence and the edge of the concrete, there were some areas of cement that came underneath the form board, and I asked Jim to get some river rock to put over it so that this could not be seen. That really added a nice finishing touch to the edge. On the side of the house, I had a small cedar gate (fence was long ago removed); the gate remained because it screened our trash cans from the street, even though it was old and weathered. Jim and crew removed the gate (& posts which were set in cement), made a flagstone pad/porch to keep the cans from killing the grass, and replaced the gate with a beautifully stained cedar screen. Lastly, Jim brought in mulch and grass to make the area look neat and finished. It was a pleasure working with Jim and his crew. I always felt he wanted to “make it beautiful” and that pleasing me was his goal. He was very easy to work with and listened to my ideas. Since the area was initially undefined, the whole plan grew and changed and gradually came together; each time Jim consulted me and got my input before continuing. The result was better than I pictured and we are enjoying our new play/outdoor area. My boys are much easier to get outdoors now that they have a place to play a variety of games: basketball, 4-square, tetherball, badminton, just to name a few. Oh, almost forgot. I had a stair landing that was abandoned (we moved the stairs to face a different direction in the yard), and Marco removed that with the jackhammer too. And they removed the wooden swing set (which was in cement) so that we could put our trampoline in that spot. OK, so nobody is that perfect, just so you know he is not superman, I have to give him a few points off for bits of debris left behind. I’m still finding bits of plastic and other debris. But I know if I pointed it out to them at the time, they would have cleaned it up. Jim is a “can do” guy, and I will definitely use him and Austin Dreamscapes for my next project.

This company followed up with my email inquiry by coming out, taking photos, etc. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and had a great personality. In fact we added on our request for work to include building a sunroom and re-doing our pool area. We were very excited to get the bids and when we hadn't heard back in a few days we emailed, then emailed again, then called and left message. To date, we still have never received a response of any kind which we feel is very unprofessional.
Description of Work
No services were performed because the company never followed up to even give us a bid.

I can not say enough good things about him,it was a great experience.
Description of Work
Jim Blow and his crew built a pool/hot tub,outdoor shower,flagstone deck around pool & walkway to house,extended our driveway & setup a half court basketball hoop goal system.He & his crew did all of this in a month!He told me he could get it all done by my son's birthday party & he did.It looks so amazing,I would do it again & again,it was worth every penny!He had a lot of ideas to make what I wanted look better but still listened.Jim was at the site all the time,he & his crew were all very professional,they arrived at 0700 & worked all day plus two Saturdays to get the job done.I hated the look of the propane tank we had delivered for the hot tub so he also built a stone wall around that to match the pool area.We are planning on using him again soon for an outdoor kitchen area.

The overall project took 6 weeks from start to finish with the slow down being from getting permits.
Description of Work
We had this company do several things for us. They built a garage, poured the concrete, put in a garage door, put in windows and a door. They even paneled the inside of the garage. They replaced rotted deck around the house and in one area they made the deck bigger.

Jim and his team worked very fast and efficient. No waste and very little redo. Super easy to work with and pleasant to be around. I originally only wanted him to to do some tile work but just kept giving him more and more to do until the job was complete. Do ask him to help you with the design work. His designs are classic or traditional hill country. He is a real artist.
