Karen M. says, “I have had my fair share of contractors who walk when things don’t go smoothly or when I get fussy (polite wording here), but not James. I also must give a shout out to his office team lead by Trista. They were always responsive and polite (and believe me I could make a saint cry!). My appreciation goes out to you and your staff. Finally, once again, I want to thank you, James, for sticking with me and easing my frustrations and worries. If I am ever crazy enough to do something like this again, I will be calling.”

Debbie Tilbury says, “The previous contractor had attempted to level my Bermuda lawn but used cheap leveling materials that included glass shards and plasticright in the section of my backyard with a cat enclosure. Thankfully, Gold Star Landscaping came to the rescue. They removed the poor-quality sod, laid down rich topsoil, and installed the highest-quality Bermuda sod available in Central Texas.The results are amazing! The new Bermuda Tifway 419 grass is lush, thick, and vibrant greenfar superior to what the other landscaper had installed.Photos included: the disastrous before, right after sod install and vibrant green of the new grass 5 weeks later.”

Erin J. says, “After a handful of unpleasant experiences with contractors around town, Dalan & his team were the opposite of that. I had confidence in their skills upon arrival, I was never spoken to condescendingly or told to ‘run something by’ my husband & I could feel the respect they had for our home. (Especially after taking care of a coral snake they came across on the front porch. That was NOT part of the job!) Attached are before & after photos of a tile job that was ‘too small’ for many others but was very important to us. Highly recommend. 5 stars & 2 thumbs up!”
