Outdoor Designs

I contacted Wes at Outdoor Designs this Spring for help with my landscaping after the 2021 Winter Storms. Like many, the storms destroyed all the agave and cactus in our xeriscaped front yard. Wes came out for a consultation, and we devised a plan to rip out the dead plants xeriscaping and lay new sod and add some other features. Wes knows his stuff and provided all sorts of interesting background on Central Texas plants and grasses. Wes' prices are competitive, and the work and design were outstanding. His team did a great job, and they've been with him a long time. We still get compliments on our new lawn from our neighbors and friends. We went from worst to first-place yard on the block. My wife and I recommend Wes and his team. We plan to work with Wes on some backyard updates in the future. Thanks, guys!

Wes and his team are awesome and the results were beyond our expectations. Top quality material used through out and his prices were in line with the others we spoke with. One of the reason we went with outdoor Designs is that Wes' picked up on both large and small challenges during our first visit. He talked to us about things that the others failed to mention and when the project was finished we could tell that Wes had a vision in his head about what this was going to look like before he even left our home. We had some minor grade/slope issues that were difficult to see before hand, but now that it is finished we can admire Wes' elegant solutions that show in the end result. I know after our next Texas downpour that we'll appreciate his talents even more. Plus, Wes is a really nice & easy going guy. We both picked up on that within minutes of his arrival - and nothing pushy about him. It was nice to learn that most of his crew have been with Wes for years - low turnover means that he treats his workers well and he keeps the best. Listen, Wes' price will be competitive, but his workmanship is unrivaled. We've been home owners for 40 years and have seen a lot. We can't recommend Wes & team highly enough.

Wes and his crew provided a reasonable proposal for the work. The work was scheduled within days of receiving the proposal. Crew did a fantastic job and cleaned up all the waste material. Wes met the crew at the house in the morning to make sure they understood the scope and came back after they were done before they left to be sure everything was done and we were happy.

Wes and his team were efficient and did a great job. They regraded my backyard so that the water flows around and away from my house. For the first time in over 5 years since living in this home our patio did not flood after a large downpour!

The work went exceptionally well. The crew did a terrific job clearing out the old shrubs and landscaping. The sod went in quickly and the new mulch looks great. The end result was just what was proposed and an excellent value.

Outdoor Designs did a great job. Wes developed a design for our landscaping project. The work was completed in a timely and professional manner. We are very happy with the outcome.

Excellent. Wes and his team are top-notch. This is my second home that Outdoor Designs has completed outstanding landscaping.

We had our complete backyard re done. Outdoor design not only did a great job the first time. Then they came out again after we installed a pool and did another amazing job!!

They did an awesome job and we would highly recommend them. They leveled it correctly, and even left the yard better than before. They were very professional and we would definitely hire them again.

They are good. They were responsive. There were too many complications and they addressed every questions. They are very knowledgeable. The crew are very nice as well.

They are great all around. Showed up on time. Gave an accurate bid. The work was finished early than discussed high quality all around.

It was an excellent service. They are very courteous and professional. They are excellent when it comes to detail attention.

This was one of the contractors I’ve had the least amount of troubles with as the crew was respectful prompt and courteous and the owner was straightforward.

7/2017 - Outdoor Design replaced the sidewalk to the front porch, slightly slanted in order to facilitate the drainage of water. For the second time, his clear understanding of the water flow allowed for a simpler, less expensive solution. Other bids required long, complicated French drains. They also installed rocks between two other buildings to reduce erosion and solve drainage problems. Both solutions have worked well. He is professional, precise, prompt, and knowledgeable. 8/2013 - Wes Cowart installed a new French drain and four pipes to carry the water. It has worked perfectly for over five years. He did it at a cost that was well below the two highest of our four bids.

Excellent! It is a delight to give this review, I would never hire anyone else to do landscaping at my home except Wes Cowart and his company. Extremely professional!

My home almost flooded due to water run off. As soon as we could we hired Outdoor Designs to come out and help. Wes took measurements and determine the best option for regrading. The results were great. Now when it rains, water is diverted around the house.

Wes and his crew did a great job. The crew misunderstood all the work to be performed, but a simple call to Wes, and the crew showed up the next morning and finished the job as promised. Wes and his crew were very easy to work with and we made adjustments to the original plan as we discovered all that was involved. Got several quotes, and Wes had the best price, and certainly provided great service and recommendations.

It went great! As always, Wes and his guys went above and beyond. I can always count on a professional job done right the first time when I call Wes. Keep his phone number and forget everyone else. Jack Schmitt Leander, TX

In each case for us, their work exceeded expectations. Three or more bids were gotten each time, and theirs was the low bid and the most sensible solution to each problem.

Refused to even provide a quote since our job was “too small”

Great. They did the job early and quickly. Was just what I wanted. Low maintenance and beautiful

Wes and his team did a great job excavating our concrete driveway and replacing it with crushed limestone over a graded road bed to address our drainage issues. He also built a large well constructed cedar deck behind our house. Wes and his team were prompt, efficient, and left our property looking much better than it did when they started.

Great success. All drainage issues addressed and corrected.

Everything and everyone was incredibly professional and yard, patio, and walkway look awesome!!!

Wes Cowart of Outdoor Designs was amazing. All of my drainage issues are fixed!!!!!
