Structure Landscapes

Very glad we used Structure Landscapes to design and install our back yard landscaping after we had a pool installed. The back yard after pool install was completely unusable and our backyard had a fairly aggressive slope by one end of the pool. Sam at Structure came out and immediately had a vision of how we could regrade the area and design the perfect landscaping. He was calm, had great communication, and very detail oriented in the quote. After hiring them, their crew did a ton of work for about 2 weeks regarding and installing all the new landscaping. The crew was great, and they worked extremely hard to get the job done. They cleaned up after themselves every day and were very respectful. The final product was beyond expectations, and we felt like we got great value out of service at a great price for all the work. We highly recommend Structure Landscapes if you are considering doing a project. Great price, hard work, and easy to work with on creating the project.

In January 2020 we purchased a new home in Barton Creek. Our garden was installed by Structures Landscape's prior to purchasing and Sam has been invaluable to us ever since. The landscape is drought friendly from native plants like Mountain Laurels, Persimmons, grasses and yaupons to attractive pineapple guava and silver ponyfoot. Sam built rock walls around the property from rock that came from the property. I couldn't be more thrilled with the aesthetic appeal to the property from the walls, planting and lighting. Since we have owned our new home Sam took time out of his busy schedule to take me to a tree farm so that we could hand pick oaks that would perfectly fit in the spaces we wanted to fill. Sam loves what he does and takes pride in his design and layout and when the weather started to heat up he would alert me so that I could contact the garden maintenance company to increase watering. Our house guests and neighbors have commented on the beautiful landscape and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Structure Landscapes for their professional unique approach to their projects.

Structure Landscapes did a great install for us and was professional & reliable throughout our project. They were experienced and knowledgeable in every aspect of the work--grading, terracing, stone work, metal work, stairs, planting, irrigation, drainage, outdoor lighting--and finished in a timely manner with beautiful results. The plantings were warrantied, and when a couple of trees died, they came out immediately to replace them. They also were able to steer us toward cost-effective solutions and delivered exactly what they promised. We will definitely work with them again if a need arises.

Structure Landscapes did a phenomenal job with our project! We met with Structure with a plan in hand. Sam and Dean had additional thoughts and ideas to enhance our own vision as well as reasonable pricing. We found them to be incredibly honest and professional during this entire process and we did quite a bit. The process took several months due to the scale. We excavated into a hill for a front patio with a board-form concrete retaining wall, extensive concrete steps leading uphill to a new parking area at the street level, sight drainage, water feature, irrigation, landscape lighting, stone retaining walls in necessary areas, as well as landscaping. They are very knowledgable regarding plant solutions, guiding us on plantings for privacy, erosion, deer resistant choices and of course, beauty. Work ethic is strong. The Structure team arrived at our home on time each morning ready to go. They are friendly and hardworking. I also appreciated that they cleaned up at the end of each day. Final product is more than we dreamed. We love our front yard space! We plan to work with them soon on our backyard.

Excellent landscape and irrigation design techniques, very competent and efficient installation staff, and extremely responsive to customer questions and/or issues. All around customer oriented company, with outstanding results. Structure Landscape is everything you could possibly ask for in a vendor !!!!

I threw a ton of ideas and Pinterest pins at them and they transformed my "nothing" backyard into a wonderland! Patios, stone and log paths, stone benches, built in BBQ with bar, outside lighting... even a splash-pad! It was a HUGE job and the main bulk of the work proceeded very quickly (3ish weeks). The on site guys were friendly and skilled. The owners (Dean and Sam) were a pleasure to work with and we managed to navigate the occasional issue that can arise with such a large project. Some of the loose ends took a little while to get tied up, but that was often due to outside circumstances like 3rd party orders or rain. They were also incredibly accommodating when some parts didn't turn out quite how I'd expected and changed them at no extra cost. Highly recommended!!! :)

These guys are the BEST! Their crews came on time and worked hard all day. They cleaned up after themselves everyday before they left our property. There was no loud music or loud phone conversations while they worked - or at any time. Very professional! Sam and Dean are wonderful truly Christian men and were delightful to work with. They met all our needs and answered all our questions. Our son also used this company - that's how we heard about them.

Sam and his team including Dean gave us a beautiful landscape to enjoy for years to come. Pleasure to work with and operate with integrity.

Structure Landscapes was referred to me while I was constructing a new custom home. My primary requirement was to work with someone who had great design aesthetics. I was impressed by the vision that Structure Landscape had for my space. This vision was supported by a well thought out plan which included detailed recommendations for various design elements. The initial cost was higher than my budget but I was able to work with Sam to scale back the project to bring the cost down. Once the project started, Sam kept me up to speed on progress. During the execution, he had some suggestions to enhance the look and feel of my space. Sam consulted with me and we made these changes on the fly. I appreciated working with someone who acted like a partner in my project. A few months after my project was completed, my landscaping required some minor tweaking and Sam was open to coming over to help me out. I would highly recommend Structure Landscapes.

We interviewed three different landscapers and decided to use Sam because we felt he was most upfront and honest about what should be done and why. He was not the least expensive or the most expensive...the quality/professionalism you get for the work was phenomenal and well worth the extra expense. After we were done with our project we can tell you that he was all that we initially thought and then some. Sam did a remodel of 1.1 acres for us. He kept a lot of what we had and enhanced our yard with landscaping, hardscaping, and retaining walls to help us deal with water erosion issues, privacy, and maximizing the yard space for our girls to play in. He also fixed our fountain and sprinkler system. He was really great at honing in on our most important needs and then made some really great suggestions on how to improve esthetics and functionality. His crew was most professional and neat. They're a really hard working bunch of guys that seem to really enjoy working on their craft. They never left any unseemly messes and were most courteous.When I look at my yard now, it makes me smile. I got exactly what I wanted and then some. Sam is a really professional and nice guy who really enjoys his work and takes great care of his clients. In fact, Sam went above the call of duty when we had an emergency water main leak at our house (unrelated to landscaping). Some of his crew were in town and available to help us dig and find the leak so we could quickly get it fixed to get water back in the house. Without his help we would have been without water for two weeks! We are so happy to have found him and refer him to anyone looking for a great Landscaping experience!

After engaging several landscaping companies and spending thousands of dollars that resulted in modest and disappointing outcomes at best, we contacted Structure Landscapes for our most recent landscape needs. Our inquiry was answered by Sam Walton the same day and we set an appointment on site within a couple of days. Sam was on time, pleasant, knowledgeable and shared some great ideas. Our numerous questions were answered within hours, whether we called or emailed. Sam then provided us a proposal with several different options and suggested we go to the nursery to view the plants and trees we were interested in planting. This process was extremely helpful in deciding what plants we liked and the size we would be planting. We accepted Structure Landscapes’ bid. They were on time, courteous, and professional. The outcome of the final product was beyond our expectations. Sam continues to follow up with us on our project. We will be engaging Structure Landscapes on more projects in the near future and would highly recommend them (and have) to anyone looking for quality, straight-forwardness and beautiful landscaping!

Sam Walton and Structure Landscapes were recommended by our house builder. Best recommendation possible. Sam's design was very creative. Sam was very attentive to our own suggestions. His crew did a fantastic work. And our front yard looked - and still does look - just amazing. Sam, as a person, is very pro, always timely and so personable. It is with no reservation whatsoever that I recommend Sam and his services. Thank you Sam !

Structure Landscapes did an outstanding job fixing some chronic problems at our place in Spicewood. They fixed some big drainage problems, built a retaining wall, fire pt, flowerbeds, and leveled out a lot of uneven land. Sam worked his magic and helped us come up with very smart solutions. The crew did a great job and worked with little homeowner supervision/interaction. There was minimal re-work and they completed the entire scope without argument. They were always promptly on-time. They also have some of the best stone masons I've seen in the Hill Country!!! Extremely satisfied with the work and I would use them again and again.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. They communicated consistently, the crew is extremely professional and their attention to detail was appreciated. We are so pleased with how our landscaping project came to fruition. I have never had a better experience with any contractor I have hired. This crew, led by Sam, is top notch.

The headlines: I recommend Sam and Structure Landscapes without reservation. Sam, his landscape designer Meg, and his crew do fantastic work. They are professional, responsive, timely, skilled, creative, and easy-going. We have never had a better experience working with anyone we have hired to do any type of work at our house. The Background: My husband and I hired Sam and Structure Landscapes at the recommendation of a high-end landscape architect (e.g., minimum $5k design fee and installations that start at $25k and can exceed $100k) with whom Sam works on some projects. When it became clear that our backyard project was not a good fit for the high-end landscape architect, she suggested I contact Sam and also gave him high marks. The Project: We moved into our house almost three years ago and had not done much work in the backyard. The backyard is large and flat with a small pool and a sport court. The yard beyond the sport court was a wasteland with knee-high weeds and no landscaping, and our long fence lines also were bare, my husband having ripped out all of the nandina that he hates. Those areas were the focus of the project. Designer Meg listened to our likes/dislikes and created a great, personalized plan for us. We loved working with her. She came up with a plan that included trees and limestone-edged beds along the fence line, a flagstone patio for a free-standing fire pit, new sod, and a limestone retaining wall and river rock path to help control and direct the run-off from heavy rains and backwashing the pool. Sam advised on the irrigation for the project. The Results: We couldn't be more pleased with the way the backyard turned out. Sam and his crew came in and executed the plan beautifully, paying impressive attention to detail. They also took care of smaller parts of the project that we hadn't realized were part of the job. For example, they mortared in existing stone steps that had been loose rocks; they redirected a gutter that improperly emptied into a flower bed; and more. Throughout the project, they also checked in regularly to make sure that we were happy with plant and tree selection and placement and other aspects of the design and installation and made adjustments as necessary. We were so pleased with their work in the backyard that we decided to go ahead and hire them to do a smaller project in our front yard that included irrigation. After the project was complete, the irrigation system needed some tweaking, including removing a couple of sprinkler heads, and Sam took care of it all quickly and with the same great attitude he had throughout the project. My iPhone pics don't do it justice, but I'm including some anyway. Keep in mind that everything was planted in winter; the trees and plants are still young (and small) and will take some time fill up the beds.

Building a custom home is always a challenge. There are so many opportunities for things to be done well and not-so-well. When it came to landscaping, we wanted something that would blend sophistication with the beautiful native landscape inherent in our 5.5 acre property in the Texas Hill Country outside of Austin. Sam Walton, owner of Structure Landscapes, listened to what we wanted and created a plan that was perfect for our home. His workers were efficient and friendly, and never failed to ask for our input at each step of the process. Structure Landscapes delivered exactly what they promised and right on time! As a result, we will spend many hours relaxing and enjoying the beautiful landscape around us.

We are delighted with the new backyard Sam and his team at Structure Landscapes gave us. We had a wilderness and wanted to make it into something pretty that required little upkeep and, in the Austin heat, was draught resistant. Sam took our vague wishes and transposed them into a gorgeous design using mostly native Texas plants and wildflowers. It looks terrific even now in the dead of winter--we can't wait for spring to see the wildflower meadow and butterfly gardens in full bloom. Sam was very helpful in making suggestions, explaining the process, teaching us how to care for the yard and incorporating our few suggestions. He even stopped by when we were out of town to make sure the irrigation system was working property. His workers did a fantastic job, working with minimal disruption to us. We were amazed at how quietly they worked and how neatly they kept the entire work area. They showed up promptly and finished the work in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Structure Landscape to anyone who wanted their yard landscaped. We enjoyed the whole experience.

We built a house on an acre lot in golf course community in Lakeway, Texas, a suburb of Austin. Although we hired the company, Structure Landscapes worked very closely with our builder and provided excellent suggestions for landscaping and planting the sloped lot. The team did a great job, including building an eight foot tall, sixty foot long engineered retaining wall. Throughout the process Structure dealt with community association rules and regulations, city regulations and a whole host of related complications. Everything was very professional, yet flexible. The company prepared all of the landscape design plans, including integrating the retaining wall engineering. Since completing the project, we have hired the company to do additional stonework and also drainage work. We highly recommend Structure Landscapes.

Sam and Structure Landscape did a fabulous job transforming my backyard into a wonderful place for my family to gather! Meg put together a landscape plan that was exactly what I wanted....she really listened to me. She had great ideas too! I am from the Midwest and am not crazy for all the drought tolerant palms, etc. and she came up with a great plan that looks & fits with the style of my home but could handle the Texas heat or were native to Texas. I was so happy with how quickly they got to work once everything was finalized. They showed up a little before 7am every day and would work until 5ish. I do not know the last time I had a job start ON TIME :) They handled all the details and I really got what I paid for!!! Structure Landscapes was a little more than the other companies but it was so worth it! I would highly recommend Sam and Structure Landscape to anyone with landscape needs. I look forward to having them tweek my front yard in the near future!

We were given the company's name through our Architect, The Geschke Group. We were thrilled with Structure Landscapes design, keeping in mind all our wants and needs. Sam is very knowledgeable about native plants and landscape solutions for our particular terrain, soil conditions and matching our home's esthetics. Sam was also very helpful with teaching how to care for the plants, which was very important to me, as I was a newcomer to the area from Houston. The end result was a stunning, easy to care for and natural landscape that is in tune with the architecture of our home. Not only is this landscape a beautiful highlight to our new life in the Texas Hill Country, but receives compliments galore! I would highly recommend Structure Landscapes for your Landscaping needs.

Sam Walton, your vision exceeds all imagination. This vision has manifested our home into a beautiful sanctuary, one that I have only dreamed of. Thank you for the streamlined, thoughtful, purposeful, intentional and gorgeous combination of hardscape with landscape. We can't thank you enough, Sam, and your team for all that you have done to make this dream a reality for us. Matt & Maya 15900 Chateau Avenue

Hi Sam, We were wondering if you could stop by sometime soon and let us know what you would suggest for our front lawn. We should have used Structure Landscapes from the beginning and have regretted our decision! The other company might have been cheaper, but you get what you pay for!! We are trying to sell this house and build another one in the area, but when people see the front lawn it looks horrible It may just need to put in another bed to get rid of the rocky areas that won't grow, or maybe the sprinkler heads are just not adjusted correctly. Either way we would like to know what you suggest. Let us know when you can stop by. Thanks, Linda and John
