Wonderful company. I can't say enough good things about Jodi and her crew. Prices were reasonable and I received discounts for using her entire team of contractors. I was getting ready to sell my home and they came in and did everything for me. One stop shop. I feel so fortunate to have found Morning Star. I highly recommend this company.

my yards looked like **** and now i am so excited to have a beautiful landscape with plants, lights, hack berry trees gone, so excited. And they charged me 1K less than another quote, did everything in one day, amazing.
Description of Work: Morning Star did a complete detailed clean up on the entire property in preperation for Fall landscaping. They removed unwanted Hackberries growing up, evasive vines, dead limbs, and deckining groundcover. Jodi was very precise on proper pruning practices for this time of year, and took great care to ensure the health of the existing plants. Everything looks beautiful and ready to plant later this month.

It all went very well. Jodie and her crew are so great to work with. Very prompt and contentious. They were very easy to work with and the quality was very high. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: Deconstruction of the existing wooden deck, construction of a new rock/decomposed granite patio that is gorgeous! Created a great rock area off the patio as well as a rock patio for a new dining area in the backyard.

work was great that was complete, be sure to communicate with owner in writing to work that was discussed. My opinion job was not finished. Also this revue is inspired by no cleanup post job. pile of gravel/debris in backyard along with mortar scraps around pad. Additional product left in a pile as well that was to be for the stone walkway to patio that was never completed. "Why buy stones for job you are not going to finish. I do have to say though that the part of the job that was finished was nice.

I just love inaccurate reviews. The homeowner was under our minimum of $2,500.00 per job. We made an exception to help. During construction she asked how much to veneer the concrete and I mentioned I may have some left over stone from another job I would be happy to give her at no charge (again, trying to accommodate), but the labor is additional. She assumed the labor would be free. She also wanted the price even lower, and at that point I just took off 200.00 because she was being difficult to communicate with. The job turned out great, we have many pictures of the site after clean-up. All our jobs are spotless and documented, and even left her stone at no charge. The thanks you get for making an exception lol. But wish her the best season, stay safe, and have fun. J.

I can not say enough about this company. They are amazing, hard workers, honest and know their business. They are like a family and bring you into the family. I had called several companies to help with my backyard. About two years ago someone set our house on fire. It did not burn down but while the insurance was fixing the inside of the house no one was attending the backyard. By the time insurance had fixed the inside the backyard was now a jungle. Other companies looked at it and ran away. Morning Star looked at it and took on the challenge with an amazing attitude. They gave me hope that they could fix this yard when all I could see was a huge mess. Thank you so much for taking on the challenge and making the front and back yard look absolutely amazing!!
Description of Work: Morning Star did a massive overhaul and cleanup of the backyard so we could list our property to sell. They cleaned up everything in the back including removal of unwanted plant debris, garbage, excessive bricks, in order to re-create a nice clean Landscaping for future homeowners. They constructed a new stone patio and gravel, assessed the drainage and sloped the land properly, creating new landscape beds with edging, a large garden bed, and laid new sod.

We truly are grateful for your business and trust, and stay in touch for any plant questions and/or future projects. It’s a hot one, so stay safe, and have a beautiful Summer! :) Jodi
It went very smoothly. I felt so fortunate. My next door neighbor had landscaping done. I reached out to my neighbor & got Jodi’s contact information at Morning Star Landscaping. I was able to benefit from the landscaping being “in progress” and was able to receive a reduced price to have the TX Star rock & stepping stones extended on the curbside to my driveway.

Our yard was in need of a complete overhaul after our irrigation system failed. We were concerned that we would have to split the work between multiple contractors, however Jodi and her team were able to take care of everything. The crew was hard working, courteous and professional. Communication was very good throughout the entire process and we never had to wait for a response. Jodi personally oversaw the entire project down to the last detail, and dealt with last second requests. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and absolutely love our new yard. I would highly recommend Morningstar Landscaping & Construction.

In a word- great! OK, so the last couple of grass guys over the recent years suggested all manner of thoughts: "you need our super-cool fertilizing", "too little water", "too much water", "you'll never grow grass there". Some folks don't even bother to return emails/texts/phone calls. Then I came upon Jodi at Morningstar. She came over, surveyed the grass, ok, desert, and talked with me about the situation- what had been tried and some options. Jodi struck me as super knowledgeable, actually interested in the botany involved and is environmentally-minded. Within a few days I had a proposal and we agreed to a plan. The grass is now in, the sprinklers humming and the other bits and pieces are taken care of. If you want someone who'll look you in the eye and tell you what's really what- and give you good sound advice, you might want to call Jodi at Morningstar. We're happy we did.

The work went very smoothly. Jodi and her team were both responsive and professional. I was impressed by how hard and fast they worked in removing and hauling away all that river rock and weed cloth - it was grueling work but they pulled it off efficiently and with good spirit. This was the second time I used Jodi and her team and will continue to do so should the need arise.
Description of Work: Replaced large hardscape with mulch. Also replaced a smaller hardscape area with Zoysia sod.. The work involved removing a large quantity of small river rock stones and pulling up the weed cloth beneath it. Irrigation system was expanded to accommodate the additional Zoysia sod.

Jodi and her crew worked very **** ** this project. We had a preliminary design drawn up, and Jodi was very good at addressing what could and would or would not work. After I approved her changes, it couldn’t have been a better outcome. Very happy with the flagstone patio and outdoor living areas. Excited about the new trees and plants for next spring, and even with the weather conditions, they communicated well and got it done in time for Christmas. Will use again and appreciate the integrity Jodi has. It was a big project and I appreciate all the did. Beautiful work.

As soon as I had a comment she was stopping by to make sure everything was ok. she is very respectful of nature and will take care of your demand and what is good for the trees as the same time. My favorite text from her was "sure can". the front and back look beautiful. I was skeptical with the fee for the quote but it was worth it. Don't hesitate to work with her you won't be disappointed.
