We spent approximately $17,000 on this project. After the installation (August 2016), it appeared that the installation was generally okay. However, my wife and I did note to Mr. Young that his employees had stapled the wires running up the trees very deep into the tree bark (see attached pictures) and that eventually as the trees grow there would likely be an electrical short. Mr. Young responded that this was normal installation procedure and that he had never had any troubles in previous installations. In October 2017 (after the warranty expired), a short did occur as predicted and three lights in a row went out. Mr. Young refused to acknowledge it was due to the extreme stabling referred to above. However, the solution to the problem required him running new wires up the same trees with less severe stapling. We had to pay Mr. Young $500 to resolve the specific issue that was clearly caused by his poor installation but he would not replace all the wiring running up the other trees. Therefore, we are likely to experience future failures do to Mr. Young's poor installation. After Mr. Young repaired the problem and we paid him, I asked a Master Electrician to look at pictures of the "severe stapling" and he said "of course it caused the short." Later we had a bulb go out and when I tried to find the same type of bulb that would fit, I discovered it was no longer being produced. I called Mr. Young to ask where I could find another bulb that would work and he said the one he installed was still being produced. When I informed him that the company that produced the bulb had on their website that it was no longer in production, he accused me of speaking to him in a condescending manner. Mr. Young has a great sales pitch but does not stand behind his work and becomes argumentative if you do not agree with him. Luckily for me, the company who no longer produces the original bulb (that Mr. Young installed) in our back yard helped me find another bulb (at no cost) that is produced by a competitor. Mr. Young simply refused to help.

Response from Texas Underbrushing & Landworks, LLC
We had the opportunity to work with this client on several occasions. As a matter of fact we were called back out once or twice to install additional lighting for the client, as they appreciated and were satisfied with the work that was performed. In regards to this review and the statement " that his employees had stapled the wires running up the trees very deep into the tree bark" (see attached pictures) This is not a true statement, the pictures show the wire sucked into the tree bark as a result of tree growth, which is something that we cannot control. We installed the down lights in the trees as we do on every lighting project that requires down lights be installed, and our stapled wires do not look like what is represented in these pictures. This clients trees are experiencing a high rate of growth which resulted in a short in the lighting zone. I personally went out and repaired the problem. This was out of our clearly stated One Year Warranty period on Installation, and we cannot be responsible for one's tree growth creating a problem with a lighting system. So yes there was a charge to repair this issue. Again, once this lighting zone was repaired and the problem was resolved, the client was happy with the service and that the problem had been taken care of. Never was there any talk or issue about this being this being covered by a warranty of any kind. At this point the client is satisfied again and understanding of what created the issue. Is there the possibility that more issues will arise down the road, absolutely. There are lights in trees with wiring that has to be secured to the tree. Again, this is something that we as a lighting provider have no control over. There was a phone conversation over a bulb, and yes I did tell this client that he was speaking to me in a "condescending manner" that is absolutely true. However, there is more to this conversation. Bottom line is that there is a "flip side" to each coin. I will end my response to this review with that being said.

We had Young Landscaping replace 70+ plants damaged by winter freeze. There prices were reasonable, and plant material used was excellent. The crew showed up on time (with the owner Dagan) and they did the job in half a day with no drama. The whole process was efficient and the job looks great.
Description of Work: Replace dead plant material and new mulch
It went really well. They were able to squeeze us in and finish up on time and on budget. We will be using them again for our next project as soon as there is room in their schedule.
Description of Work: Dagan, Steve and his crew cleared our back yard and created beds and walking paths and a wonderful transition from lawn to completely native. They were creative, listened to us and understood what we were looking for. We are delighted with the result.

Dagan and his team were wonderful to work with. We ended up changing the design a few times as they were working on the yard. They helped by giving me advise and ideas that I could envision of how to best utilize the small yard space. The flagstone area turned out better than expected. The new flagstone area blends in so well that you can not tell the difference between the initial work and the new installation. I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: I hired them for two different phases. PHASE ONE was for 20 hours of work. This included removal of crushed granite, grass, vine stumps, and plants. PHASE TWO Redesign back yard. Once we had a clean scape to work with they were able to provide me with a design that would compliment my pool area. 1. Extend the exiting flagstone area around the pool to give me an area to place my barbecue pit and an area to place additional seating. 2. Added river rock along the fencing to give the yard some character and help with water runoff problems 3. Create bedding area for plants (They were able to utilize my existing plants that were removed during the clean up process)

They showed up on time and began to trim the shrubs... however, they really cut only the front of them where they could reach -- the backs are still very tall and now they are all misshapen. They completely missed a couple of shrubs/trees I had pointed out to them.

Thank you very much for taking your time to write a review and provide feedback regarding the service! We truly value your Feedback, as Feedback "Truly is a Gift". To shed a little bit of light regarding maintenance packages. Our maintenance package coupons are designed around labor hours / per man. The amount of work that can be completed is dependent on the amount of time purchased. In the event that some areas may not have been completed, or not completed to a clients expectation usually results from not having the allotted time to complete everything the client wished to be completed. I allow the crew to spend extra time (at no additional cost) within reason to try and leave every client with a sense of project completion, but there are cases where based on the package purchased there is just not enough time to get everything done that a client wishes. We work to communicate with clients on site, so that the expectation of what can be done in the time allotted is clear. When we arrive on site to honor a maintenance package coupon we don't know what the expectations are, and we have to gauge on site about how much work we can complete in the time allotted. On the coupon it states the option to purchase extra time when needed if a client chooses too in order to get a project completed to their expectation. See example listed below: $340.00 for 4 labor hours of landscaping (1 landscaper for 4 hours, 2 landscapers for 2 hours each, etc.); extra time can be purchased for an additional $100 per hour It is our goal to provide the best service possible, all the while being completely up front, honest, and transparent with each client we work with.

The crew did a great job start to finish! They showed up on time and did a great job of cleaning up my landscaping which was becoming overgrown with weeds. They also hauled off all the debris and raked up leaves. I will definitely use them again in the future and would highly recommend them.

Yard cleanup, including bush and tree pruning, and flower-bed cleaning. Debris hauled away.
Description of Work: The service was good, but not great. Dagan told me that yard cleanup was not their core business and that they focus on landscaping and lighting. And it showed. My lot certainly looked better after they left, but yard cleanup crews I hired in previous years did a better job overall, sometimes at a lower cost. The three-man crew was punctual, friendly and easy to work with, and Dagan was very responsive to my inquiries and eager to provide great service. I knocked off one grade point for cutting down one of my crate myrtles rather than the dead bush next to it.

Dagan, Steve and Casey are great professionals. They were always timely, performed very high quality work and were very respectful. I've called on them since they finished the work to help stake a couple plants and they've come out and taken care of it at no charge. They are truly great to work with and do great work.
Description of Work: Dagan, Steve and Casey landscaped around our pool by creating multiple levels and gave us a multitude of options. They also landscaped the front of our house in addition to installing landscape lighting throughout our backyard. We also had them landscape around our inlaws place on the same property.

Dagan (and his crew) did a fantastic job. I could not be happier. I wanted lighting in my back yard for security and wanted it to look good at the same time. Dagan came out and knew exactly what to put up (proper wattage of fixture, etc.). He made sure the light fixtures were hidden behind the tree limbs as much as possible and knew how to direct the lights to make them project the neatest looking light pattern at night. I had a couple of other guys come out before choosing Dagan. Once Dagan came out to look at my project, it was obvious the guy knew what he was talking about.

I was desperate as I had relatives arriving in 3 days and my regular yard man was not answering calls. I called Young and they came over the next day for an estimate and immediately started working on the yard, once I gave approval. I live in a garden home but it is surrounded by landscaped shrubs and many different kinds. They trimmed and cleaned and actually stayed a few minutes over.At first I thought too much, but it took up all that time and more, to get it looking like I wanted it.

Dagan Young responded quickly to my initial inquiry, scheduling an appointment to meet with me. With a challenging front entrance I wanted his opinion on how to best light the area. He made suggestions and explained the equipment he would use. Dagan emailed me a written proposal that evening. On the scheduled work day Dagan with his crew arrived on time, and completed the work on schedule, even accommodating changes I made midway through the job, and without a delay! The crew was always professional and courteous. I am very pleased with the my landscape lighting, and will recommend this company without reservation. Thank you Dagan, Steve and Casey.

Impressed with the beautiful work completed by Dagan's crew, as we never knew how painstaking it was to individually lay flagstone to make the pathway work with the needed slope/drainage of the designated area. The crew was a great group of guys that were professional without being too stuffy. The cost for hardscaping/landscaping always seems high until you realize the amount of labor that goes into these projects, but feel that Dagan & his crew worked pretty hard in the July sun for the amount paid. Also want to note how accommodating Dagan was in trying to assist us in completing the project within the time constraints of our HOA (so trust me when I say that he is very understanding of working within HOA regulations). Dagan also took quite a bit of his own time to come to our home & help us to develop the project, so he is a full service operation (and the estimate was free, which was impressive due to the amount of work that goes into bid development & his time on site). Highly recommend these guys for any of your landscaping or hardscaping needs!

Best company I could have picked for the job! This crew is so user friendly and professional with so many hidden talents I could not believe the finished product. From day one these guys were able to fix a very large structure that was slowly separating with a sagging roof. The best part is the beautiful fireplace addition that is built into the cabana so well it looks like it should have always been there. The ideas and accents are truly one of a kind, thank you so much for the awesome job and hard work you did. Truly amazing!

It went well beyond our expectations, no doubt it added curb appeal which had been missing, a beautiful job!
Description of Work: Completed major rock work and landscaping to include a sidewalk made with pavers. Dagan has an eye for what needs to be done and takes pride in his work and justly so. He is a honest man whom you do not mind paying for an honest days work, give him a try and you will be pleasantly surprised. Call me for a recommendation @ {Member phone number removed} { Member name removed}.
Dagan was very professional from day one and scheduled the job as soon as we had approval from the hoa. On the scheduled start day Dagan introduced his crew (Steve and Casey)and explained the scope of the work and answered our questions. At the end of day one he followed up with us on the progress and on day two he was working along side Steve and Casey. We also asked if he could complete a small landscape bed for us and they were able to complete that by working longer hours. We are very happy with the work that Dagan, Steve, and Casey did and have received compliments from several neighbors. We will be using Young Landscaping for oyr next landscaping project.

From start to finish, the entire engagement with Young Landscaping was extremely professional. Lighting job involved both uplighting of my home as well as downlighting of my oak trees, which truly set off the entire front facade of my house. They worked throughout the two days without issue. The final result was amazing and really transformed the appearance of the home. These guys did such a good job that i'll contract for them now to do the same for the backyard. Highly recommend.
