Down to Earth Landscaping and Lawn Care

Some of the best craftsmanship I have seen from a landscape contractor. They committed to a time, showed up when they said they would and completed the project above my expectations.

James came out to evaluate the area. I told him that I was trying to stay within a budget. He gave us some ideas with different prices to meet our needs. He was also willing to use the material we already had for the retaining wall. The job was completed quickly, and we are very pleased with our results.

a bit pricey but worth it. I had the bed mulched last year and paid less but thejob was poorly done. Down to Earth mulched the bed cost a bit more but did much better. You get what you pay for

I just can't say enough great things about Jim Hall and his team! I called him with a very rough idea of what I wanted for a garden design. He took my rough idea and really brought it to life with several great suggestions that I would never have even thought of. The garden is AMAZING!!! Then in Phase "2" I again gave Jim a very rough idea of what we wanted to do in the way of a "yard" (we live in the country) for our small dogs but that would still be attractive and fit with the rest of the house. Again, Jim came back with some great ideas on how to do it and then just "got it done"! It is beautiful and brings us joy every single day. Jim has a great demeanor, very unassuming but extremely thorough and professional about what he does. He takes great pride in his work. I can honestly say that we have never worked with a contractor where things went as well as they did with Jim.

Outstanding it looks great and was built with pride! Thanks to Jim and his team!

Neighbors, people driving by and even people stopping ringing our door bell to inquire and compliment on the landscape. The front yard is beautiful...and the back yard is breath taking.. What else can we say; it is BEAUTIFUL. At the end of each day the work areas were clean and the tools were put away. Additionally, Jim's crew, all were courteous and are really hard workers. As you can tell we are very pleased...We recommend Down to Earth Landscape Co. to our neighbors, you won't go wrong with using this company for your landscape needs.

Great service. James (owner of company) had called me the day before to to tell me that he could get the work done on 06/19/15 if the "weather cooperated" (i.e. not raining) and he would call me in the morning to let me know. The morning of 06/19/15 he showed up at the house promptly at 0830, even though it was raining. I thought he was going to tell me we would have to re-schedule for another day. But no, he informed me that the rest of his scheduled jobs would not be able to be done because of the rain (they involved mixing cement). So he had rounded up his entire crew and, if I was OK with them working in the rain, they would complete my job in 2-3 hours, and they did! The site looks great and, as an additional bonus, his price was an average 400.00 less than the other 2 estimates I had received. I will definitely use him for any other landscaping job in our future and, will recommend him to anyone needing landscaping work in their home.

They arrived on time and were quiet as requested ( I work nights so sleep late in the mornings), were very polite and professional, did a great job on the landscaping, and cleaned up everything. They even had a little sod left so walked my property and added it where needed! Jim went over the work with me to ensure everything was as specified before accepting my payment. I will definitely use them if I need landscaping work in the future.

I am impressed by the quality work these guys do, the crew is courteous and they do that bit extra. After completing the tree pruning, the crew pointed out and repaired a break in my fence, and also took care of some wasp nests forming on the property, at no extra charge. I highly recommend these guys, they are professional and the rates are quite reasonable!

Jim Hall and his crew arrived on time and went immediately to work. They are very professional, courteous and respectful. Joshua did an outstanding job with the chopped block and Calvin and Anthony worked diligently spreading the mulch once the beds were outlined with metal edging and the weed barrier was down. All of the guys did good work and took instructions well. In some cases, they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the work as it transpired. The finished project in its entirety added significantly to the overall appearance of our yard. People are constantly stopping and admiring our yard and the sign of good work is that we're pleased to refer them to Jim. None of this type of work is easy in Texas and if I attempted to do it on my own, it would take literally months to complete what these guys accomplished in 4 days. Thanks Jim for the great work ... we have more to do in the Fall!!

I was given another companies number. Not sure how to take the response I received.

all done in one day--this the second time we have used Jim Hall--great job

To repeat: completely designed and landscaped the front of our home. This is the third time we have used this company, tha last time, he removed lime stone and rock from an entire section of our backyard, then sodded the area to perfection. This last time, they removed an old Palm (including dig and remove root system) the planted shrubs, flowering plants and then bordered the entire area with decorative grasses. After completing this they completely coved the area with River Rock. They also planted several ginger plants by our front entryway. Mr. Hall always makes sure his work is completely done and finished off beautifully. After finishing the task, the cleaned up all their work tools and tidy up. Mr. Hall has also trimmed trees for us and haul brush away for disposal! We couldn't be mor satisfied with the excellent quality of work performed! We will continue to utilize Mr. Hall / Down to Earth, for all our yard and landscaping needs.

Great dependable,friendly and timely professional service at a very good price with NO problems!!!!

James and his crew showed up on Monday morning after having been rain delayed for a week. The crew got to work clearing an area for the patio. They did all the necessary and proper prep work, then laid a gorgeous flagstone patio area in mortar. The craftsmanship and pride that each crew member showed was so refreshing, and each member was personable and friendly, even to someone who was watching and asking questions the whole time! They prepped and put in the granite walkway, laying the end stones in mortar as well. The entire job is probably not one of their biggest or most expensive, but they still took great pride in their work, always asking if it was looking good, and asking if I wanted anything changed.

Things went very well. His crew did a great job from start to finish. He was available for questions and concerns. He made sure that everything was done in a quality like manner. After 6 months, the plants are thriving and looks great. I am glad that I spent the money. I told James that I was on a budget and that was taken into consideration to include a military discount. I am very pleased and would hire him again.

His price was very competitive. He was so easy to get a hold of. He is very responsive. He ended up fertilizing for free. He took out the things we didn't like. He is honest and down to earth. He did a great job. His cost was less than what most people were quoting so it was great. I would use him again in the future.

These guys worked as fast as we could with all the rain we have gotten and were up front and in contact with us each step of the way. They hauled away our old railroad ties and fencing for us and broke down the cost each step of the way.

These guys rock! They are absolute professionals. They pay extreme attention to detail. I believe they set a high bar for this industry. They delivered as they said they would and infact they finished early!

Jim replied promptly to my call and was able to come out and give an estimate quickly. He was on time, professional and communicated well with me about the work. He and his crew arrived for the job on time and were very pleasant. The crew worked steadily all day and did an excellent job and cleaned up all the brush really well. It was a pleasure to work with Jim and his crew and I highly recommend them.

They got the job done quickly and communicated well with my husband and me. We are happy with their work and would hire them again!

Best landscaper in San Antonio! Maybe I shouldn't say that so that he keeps coming to my house. They showed up on time to look at my yard and to start on our project. He always called back and I was never left wondering. He understood my needs and even provided me with suggestions. We have a small yard and we were worreid that no one wanted to work with our small yard. When his team was working on my house they even checked up on me and keep me posted on what the progress was. I cant wait for my husband to mess up something in my yard so that we can do something new to our yard.

I did a lot of research on trying to find people and he answered the phone for me and came out and gave me an estimate. I really liked his attitude "Down to Earth" is a very appropriate name for the company. He responded very quickly, and was very flexible with the changes I would text him about. Pricing was also very competitive. I had a very good vibe from this man and I am glad that I chose him.

We had to have our sewer line replaced last October. We decided to live with the looks until Spring giving it time to settle. We contacted Jim to get an estimate to help restore our yard and one of the big beds we have. Jim came out and gave us a cost to re-level the yard and beds. He also replaced the grass and mulched my 5 big beds in the front and back yards. I talked to Jim the Friday before he was to start the job and he said the grass was just not up to par and we should wait another week. Having dealt with early spring grasses before I was very appreciative of the advice. I am happy we waited as the grass is very nice. The service was outstanding. The 3 man crew that did the work were really great. The showed up on time and worked very hard to complete all the work in one day. The job was done perfectly and the outcome mad us very happy. His company is well worth looking at if you have landscaping needs. We certainly will

I have used Jim for previous work on my yard and had loved the work that was done. When I wanted to have more work done in my backyard, I immediately called Jim for an estimate. I called once and left a message with no response. Second call, I did talk to Jim and he was supposed to come out the following Monday for an estimate. I called Tuesday to follow-up and left a message. I received no response to that call or the next one. I am very disappointed in the lack of communication after previous work and a previous wonderful review on this site. After no response with multiple attempts to contact again, I am going to go with another company and will not be able to refer to friends due to lack of response.
