Review from Google · view on GoogleWe bought a new home that had some existing landscaping that needed a little attention. Jamie had helped at our old house and was amazing so we immediately reached out. Everything about the process was great. She looked our new property, asked great questions about what we wanted, didn't want, etc. and made recommendations that were spot on. The team showed up exactly when they said they would and finished when they said they would. If we had questions, they were addressed immediately to our satisfaction. They also left the yard and house cleaner that it was when they got there. After everything was installed, we got detailed instructions for caring for everything. I can't say enough good things about Jamie and the rest of the GFT team.

Vickie Farmer4 reviewsTotal number of Google reviews Vickie has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Review from Google · view on GoogleJust prior to having my yard redesigned, I contacted a company to install an irrigation system. Telling them about my yard plans, they recommended I use Gardens for Texas for the redesign and I’m so glad they did. Everything was coordinated flawlessly. Now I have the loveliest landscape in the neighborhood. Thanks to Jamie, Sandra and their team, there is a beautiful flagstone sitting area under a large Live Oak tree on the front of my home. From the front down the side to the back patio, there are colorful drought tolerant perennials and flowering shrubs that attract birds, bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. The flower beds are very large so Jamie put in a path from front to back that separates the planting areas. It is so serene to walk along the path or sit in the shade surrounded by such beauty. I’ve gotten many, many compliments from not only my neighbors but strangers walking or driving through the neighborhood. I’ve used Gardens for Texas more than once and will definitely use their services for any additional work.

Review from Google · view on GoogleGardens of Texas did a wonderful job updating our landscaping in both our front and back yards here in Dallas. They drew up a plan to use some of our existing plants/trees with the addition of new plants/trees to fill in and give color and texture to our rather sad existing landscaping. Now when our guests pull up to our front yard, they see a variety of plants and trees that outline our house - and when we sit in our back yard, we have colorful plants and a lovely vine growing up our brick wall. The price was also very reasonable. Jamie and her crew were easy to work with on this landscape updating project. I would highly recommend them.
