Our Reputation Speaks for Itself
Nicholas did an amazing job! I love the outcome of my front and backyard. He exceeded my expectations. I got a new driveway, irrigation, sod, plants, firepit, and pathways. I would highly recommend him to everyone!
Callie Stenger
Garden Goat helped me improve my landscape. Nicolas was very responsive and didn’t try to oversell me on the project. We met and talked about what I was looking for and he gave me a proposal within a few days and completed the project within a few weeks. Great customer service and follow-up. I would highly recommend Garden Goat for your landscape projects.
Bart Kalsu
I hired Garden Goat to install turf and irrigation in my backyard. In the beginning Matt was great with getting us an accurate estimate and was super helpful with the design. He answered any and all questions and has the experience with these types of projects. Once we agreed to the job Nicolas contacted me and set up the install date. Nicolas was personable and also answered any questions with the process. All the workers were great and respectful. If you're looking for turf install or any kind of landscaping these guys were great from start to finish. Thanks Matt, Nicolas and Ezekiel!

I’m really glad I found Garden Goat. They are easy to work with, reasonably priced and the work looks great. I’m new to central Texas gardening and I’m looking forward to a long relationship with my new go-to landscape company.
Devin Culbertson
Nicolas and his team did a great job on our breeze block patio wall! Very happy with the finished product! Highly recommend!
Dale Herron
I've worked with Garden Goat twice now and have been delighted both times. Really easy to work with, communicative and punctual, no hassles and really great work. Will definitely have them back any time we need landscaping or irrigation work in the future!
Andy Bailey
Nicholas and his team were a pleasure to work with on our side and in our backyard. They removed a huge slab of exposed aggregate and installed lueders and pea gravel. We also had some drainage problems when it rained that they were able to address/fix the issues. We have had several heavy rains since the French drain was installed, and it works beautifully.
Scott Gaetjen
Nicolas and his crew were fantastic! They even hooked up my cowboy pool! It wasn’t exactly self-explanatory and there was a tutorial video required before hook up. Nicolas took the time to watch the video and make sure everything was done correctly. Very easy to work with these guys, would definitely recommend and would definitely hire again! Thanks Nicolas and Ezequiel!
Mhillio
I had a great experience with Nicolas and Garden Goat! We had been having issues with our turf dying off from extreme weather changes and decided to replace a lot of our grass with rock, hardscape and native plants. Nicolas was extremely fast in responding to my initial requests, where other companies failed to respond at all.
Nicolas helped me size up the scope and helped flesh out the ideas I had for changes to make. In addition to our stone hardscape they also installed a french drain to ease the pooling problems we were having. We had such a good experience, we had him come back and rework a section of our front yard to replace some old pavers with a more modern look and additional plants. He even went out of his way to put my old pavers up for sale and brought the money made back to me! All around great service and very communicative. I would recommend to anyone looking for landscaping help or inspiration. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. I can't recommend enough!

My neighbor and I hired Garden Goat to put some stone and rocks between our houses where nothing has can seem to grow in the shade. There's also a lot of water run-off in the area which didn't help either.
Nicolas showed up on time every time we met and for the work. He knows what he's doing and had some great suggestions. They were able to cap several sprinkler heads in the midst of the project which was very helpful.
Price was reasonable and I'm so pleased with the results that I'm having a few other areas in my yard worked on by this great company. The staff who showed up to do the work were professional, courteous and did a marvelous job. Highly recommended.
