Down to Earth Landscaping and Lawn Care

Down to earth did an awesome job! Jim and his crew were punctual, professional, and had a great work ethic. My wife and I just moved to the San Antonio area and our house had been vacant for 8-9 months. So needless to say there was a lot of work that needed to be done. Jim showed up with four other guys and they worked almost continuously for 10 hours. Jim came about 2 weeks prior to discuss all of the things that needed to be done and gave me an accurate quote. The day of the job I had a few more things I wanted done and Jim was very accommodating to my requests. This was a great experience and I will definitely use down to earth in the future!

From the day Jim gave me the estimate until he finished the job he kept in contact with me. I had to postpone the job at least 3 times because of other work being done in our yard and Jim would call me every week to check in . Did you hear that ,Jim called me? I did not have to tract him down like other contractors. They did an excellent job, finished early and cleaned up. I will definitely use Down to Earth Landscaping again.

I called to have an estimate on a yard clean up and new landscaping for both the front (curb appeal) and back. Jim came out and I really liked him. It was a Thursday night and he said he'd have the estimate on Saturday. I never heard back from him and it's been two or three weeks now. Not sure if he just didn't want the job or what. I know there's plenty to do. I'll just keep looking.

They called back the next day and came to see the job and give us the estimate that day.They did the work 2 days later.They did what they said they would,were punctual and efficient and cleaned up after they finished.We were very pleased with their work.

Work is still in progress for another day or two, but Jim and his crew are awesome. Jim was very responsive when we first contacted him and he reviewed what we wanted done and said he and his crew could handle it. We pretty much gave him free reign with the design and new plantings and are not disappointed one bit. He provided us a diagram of his plan and a list of the plants he intended to use, along with his price for the work. We asked about a written contract but he said he preferred to work via the handshake and he's a man of his words. We are more than pleased with how the yard is looking. Jim and his crew are totally professional and some of the hardest workers I've seen. Very impressive.

Very professional individual

Jim came out promptly and gave a bid on the job based on what we wanted done. He was also flexible on scheduling when we had to change the agreed upon time. His crew worked hard, fast and efficiently. They did a great job using all the natural loose rock from our property so we didn't have to buy new stone for the stonework. They did a great job and we will definitely use them again. The workers like to listen to great blues bands on their radios and iPhones. For us that was an extra added attraction. ;-) Highly recommended. These guys are good. Note: I was originally going to bid this job out between 2-3 landscapers, but decided not to because of Jim's forthright demeanor and professionalism. I feel his price was a good value for the 5 days of work.

Jim came to our house and was prepared to take all measurements for an estimate. The estimate was delivered in person and on time. We made the deal and Jim came with his crew on the appointed day and they were on time. The first day weather was cold and raining but they went to work anyway without complaining. It did not affect the quality of the job. The weather got better in the next few days and they did everything promised. We are very happy with the quality of work and the price. We highly recommend Jim.

Jim Hall is a true professional. His attention to detail is outstanding and we are pleased with every facet of the landscaping project he completed for us. He and his crew installed a beautiful flagstone walkway, terraced an area of our backyard with river rock, completely replanted two flowerbeds, re-sodded a large section of the yard, and dismantled and removed an aging playscape. Jim and his crew were prompt, friendly, and efficient, and they cleaned up the yard each day and thoroughly cleaned up at the end of the project. We are now contemplating a patio project; once we've decided what we'd like, we will definitely be calling Jim at Down to Earth! Highly recommend this company!

Jim and his crew are amazing! Jim replied to my landscaping request within an hour of me sending him an email. He came out to my home the next day and had an estimate with a drawing within 20 minutes. They came out 3 days later and completely transformed by ugly backyard to a beautiful one. All of the guys were nice and such hard workers! They finished my backyard in one day and I could not be happier! I will definitely use them again in the future and refer them to all of my friends and family!

They never returned my calls or emails.

They were quite good. They were prompt. They did what was asked. They did it thoroughly. The price was decent. As much as possible, they used products that aren't toxic. I have two dogs so that's very important. Their pricing was reasonable. They did quite well.

They came out and priced the competively but could start work 2 weeks earlier than any one else. They showed up on time did all the work and threw in some extra lava rock. The were short of rock and instead of skimping and spreading it thin, the came back the next day with the extra rock to do it right. .

After reading glowing reviews on Angie's List, I added Down to Earth Landscaping and Lawn Care to the list of landscapers I contacted regarding estimates to Xeriscape my front yard. Of all the contractors I contacted, and there were several, Jim Hall of Down to Earth proved to be the most responsive and expressed the most interest in my project. Jim and I set up a time to meet at my property to discuss the job and not only was he on time, but he actually texted me about 45 minutes before the appointment to be sure we were still scheduled to meet. I explained to Jim what I had in mind for the front yard, gave him an idea of plant materials that I like, and provided him with my budget. Jim said he would contact me within 2 days with a design, price, and list of plant materials. Guess what? Jim contacted me and provided me with the information exactly when he said he would! Better still, his price came in under the maximum for my budget. We met at my property to go over the plan and to allow me to visualize it and ask questions. I made one change in the design, which was to use decomposed granite rather than mulch in some areas. To my delight, Jim seemed perfectly fine with my requested change. In fact, he even proposed that he drop off samples of different sizes and colors of decomposed granite so that I could make the choice of exactly what I wanted. I had no doubt that hiring Jim was the right move for my landscape project. When Jim and his crew arrived to do the work, they were on time, kind, courteous, and worked very hard for a very long day. In my opinion, they went above and beyond to be meticulous in their work. I think the best thing I did was to turn my yard over to Jim's creativity and not try to control anything once I made the decision to hire him. Not only did my yard go from literally being the worst one on the street, but it has become the best one on my street! All this, and no grass to mow! If you value a company who is responsive, timely, provides individual attention, and has a passion for what they do, then I most highly recommend hiring Jim Hall and Down to Earth Landscaping and Lawn Care.

Jim and his crew were great! They showed up on time and worked fast and efficiently. We love our new patio so much we had to have friends over to grill out the day after they were done. I would definitely recommend them to others and certainly use them again myself.

The guys were great - even played with our dog during their (very short) breaks! There were a couple things we thought they missed and when we pointed them out they were taken care of right away.

James and his crew arrived on schedule at the agreed upon date and time and began work on my front and back yard. They managed their time perfectly as they completed tasks and had materials arrive seamlessly between them. They were extremely considerate of my property and asked me before throwing things away or hauling them off. They were incredibly lenient regarding my schedule and extremely patient with my animals (two dogs). They finished the scope of work (including cleanup) on schedule and made sure we were pleased with the quality of the work performed. Boy, were we ever! The price point for this job was absolutely perfect and discussing it was even easier. You will never find a group of individuals more committed to quality and respect for customers than Down to Earth Landscaping. Do yourself a favor and give them a call.

They did an excellent job and worked extremely hard. I highly recommend them!

They did a wonderful job and the price was reasonable. Everyone complements us on the work. The workers were honest and polite they take a lot of pride in what they do.

The work was excellent. The guys were very nice and all could speak english which made communication easy for those of us who cannot speak spanish. They were prompt, courteous, and a pleasure to work with.

They did a really good job and did better than I expected they would do. They just worked really hard.

Based on the reviews I read about Jim and his company I had pretty high expectations; he didn't disappoint. From the proposal to completion everything was done on time, as promised and beyond. Jim showed up for the first meeting on time and was able to provide a proposal pretty on the spot. He was helpful in making recommendations and I didn't feel like I was being sold a bill of goods. He made recommendations on how to treat my existing landscape and provided what I asked within our budget. Jim and his crew showed up on the day that was promised and didn't let a little rain get them off course. Showing up on time, providing a service on time, cleaning up after the job was done and communicating throughout could be considered an expectation, and it certainly met. But Jim and crew did a few things that went above and beyond normal expectation. While checking the new drip irrigation, the crew noticed an irrigation leak in the middle of the yard. It was the end of the day and clearly shouldn't have been Jim's problem, but hie returned the next day and fixed it at no extra cost. After laying all the plants we had ordered, Jim realized that he had over ordered and had four more rose bushes than the bed space would allow. Instead of returning them or asking me to pony up for the extra cost, he simply offered them up, asked me if there was somewhere I would like them to be installed and put them in no questions asked. Also, after he had made the first delivery of plants, I inquired about a couple of extra trees to be planted in the back yard. Jim responded quickly and was able to provide and plant two nice trees in the back yard the same day. Lastly, a few days after the installation I couldn't remember a product that Jim had recommended so I texted him to ask for a reminder and it was just a matter of minutes before I got a response. Overall, working with Jim was painless and how I wish all providers did business: forthright, timely, as promised, communicated effectively, helpful, etc. I look forward to completing the backyard landscape with Jim and Down to Earth.

Down to Earth did an excellent job landscaping our new yard. The entire crew was very professional and showed up on time each day and worked hard! Jim was very flexible with our schedule and accommodated all of our requests. The yard looks great and I would definitely recommend Down to Earth to anyone.

Absolutely awesome. Exceptional workmanship, professional, prompt, extremely courteous and cleaned up far beyond my expectations. They arrived on time and completed the work when he said they would. The team work continuously, I was worried they would suffer heat stroke and wished they would have taken a few breaks! Absolutely the best contractor I've hired. They simply surpassed my expectations. Pricing was extremely reasonable, work was EXCEPTIONAL, I am so very pleased and I'm showing it off to all my friends and family. Actually, I am hiring them again to lay top soil and sod. They are awesome. I wholeheartedly recommend Down to Earth Landscaping for all your landscaping needs. Excellent, exceptional, professional, high quality workmanship, you won't go wrong with this company. Wish I could think of more adjectives to describe how pleased I am with the work they accomplished. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Down to Earth Landscaping is AWESOME and must for your landscaping needs!

The team showed up on time, worked quickly and did an excellent job.
