What recent reviews say

Results are wildly inconsistent. Five early reviews praise Robert and his team for design work and HOA partnerships, but the last three years show rising complaints about crew quality, cleanup, and unsafe driving. Reviewers report uneven mowing, debris in yards and neighborhoods, broken irrigation from weed-wacking, gates left open, and multiple road-rage incidents by employees. Management described as slow to respond to requests and unable to match competitors' pricing on project estimates.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: Stark decline in quality and professionalism over the past two to three years. Earlier reviews (2016-2017) praised Robert's design partnerships and HOA work; reviews from 2021 onward describe uneven lawns, poor crew training, unresponsive management, equipment damage, and repeated road-rage incidents by employees.

Praised for
  • attention to detail on select projects
  • strong communication from leadership (Robert)
  • reliable long-term partnership for HOAs
Watch-outs
  • uneven lawn quality and maintenance gaps
  • aggressive or reckless driver behavior
  • poor cleanup and debris left on properties
  • unresponsive management to requests
  • high pricing on estimates

Think twice if: Avoid if lawn care consistency, crew professionalism, or cleanup matters to you; recent years show mounting quality and safety complaints.

Strengths

  • design and HOA project work (older reviews)
  • transparent communication from Robert on partnerships

Worth knowing

  • Robert named as leader/designer in four-year-old reviews praising HOA partnerships and communication
  • manager Kevin mentioned in recent complaint about harsh pruning practices
  • crews report leaving muddy ruts, broken irrigation lines, uncut areas, and debris in neighborhoods and driveways
  • multiple incidents of employee road rage and unsafe vehicle operation

Reviewers consistently credit named designers-Sara Heitner, Ashleigh, and Colleen-with listening carefully and elevating initial ideas into finished spaces that exceed expectations. Crews show up on time, clean daily, and treat properties with respect throughout even complex multi-month builds. Projects span front yards and patios to full hardscape overhauls, drought-tolerant replanting, irrigation repairs, and retaining walls. Darrin, Ashley, Cody Johnson, and Fico earned specific praise for expertise, problem-solving, and honest communication. Multiple clients return across several properties.

Strong work quality and genuine staff passion draw recommendations, but service reliability is inconsistent. One long-standing client saw marked improvement after an account manager change, though earlier accounts detail frustrating no-shows, broken communication, and unresolved damage claims stretching back years.

Top Choice arrives on time and works fast, with crews tackling multiple tasks in parallel to keep jobs moving. Staff like Johnny and Mike build trust by solving problems honestly (one customer says Johnny saved thousands by diagnosing a fixable irrigation issue rather than pushing a full replacement), and the office stays responsive from quote through follow-up. Lawn mowing, aeration, top dressing, and irrigation work all draw consistent praise for even coverage and meticulous edge work. Reviewers note the crew texts ahead, cleans up debris, and runs efficient crews of three. Pricing tracks with other local services. The business claims 20+ years operating and covers South, Central, and North Austin plus Bee Cave and surrounding areas.
