Robert Leeper Landscapes did an incredible job redoing and redesigning my very large and hard to manage front and back yards. What was once an eyesore and very out of date is now beautiful and easy to care for. Robert has a great eye for design, both modern and traditional, and is very water-wise as well. Virtually every plant he recommended has survived our horrible summers and he save me from making some expensive mistakes. He was flexible and adaptable when it came to making decisions that were both creative and cost-effective. I give them my complete recommendation.

This review is LONG over due as Robert and team did this project shortly after our winter storm of 2021. After that storm I used the death of many plants as an excuse to redo our landscaping and reached out to a handful of landscape designers. I was most impressed with Robert given his vast experience doing many styles of design. I couldn't have been more happy with the process of working with Robert and team. The creativity, both in plant selection and design/placement, are things I never could've accomplished on my own. The installation team lead by OJ was also incredible - they were very detailed, did great work, and cleaned up the area well after each days work. Professional help ...

Robert and his team did an outstanding job designing and installing an incredible landscape for my historical home in downtown Austin. After a four year renovation, I wanted the landscape to match the design of my 1924 Tudor and it certainly does. Robert is knowledgeable, easy to work with, on time and on budget.

Robert Leeper Landscapes and Company do a wonderful job! From the original landscape design through installation and now annual maintenance, they have been responsive, committed and considerate. We have encountered only one difficulty and even then Robert and Co. stepped up and did everything necessary to resolve it and make me happy. They continue to make our home shine!

We recently completed a major remodel and addition of a 1930's home situated on a 1/2 acre lot. We chose Robert to help us with the landscaping because we were drawn to his clean aesthetic and creative designs which complemented the style of the architecture. We could not be more pleased with the result and he was fantastic to work with. He worked within our budget, responded to our asks and made some great suggestions that resulted in a really beautiful home for us. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

Robert is the best in the business. I hired him in 2012 to completely rehaul my giant backyard into something manageable. His work was on budget and on time. It was a substantial investment but the best we've made on the house. People always comment on it when they come over. In fact, I feel I have to maintain the house to match his beautiful work outside. Robert is an artist and within ten minutes he had completely sketched out a plan for the yard that was modern, classic and totally unique. We signed off on it then and there. This summer I am building a pool and I called Robert. The design was "just okay" but Robert took one look and totally elevated its design. Again, I feel lik...

Over the past two years I have had the great fortune of working with Robert Leeper and his team. How I got so lucky I will never know, but it’s something that I’m thankful for every day. To say that Robert transformed my yard would be an understatement; he changed it into something I love, into something altogether different than what it was before, and he changed it in ways that I never could have imagined previously. It was fascinating to watch Robert work, humbling to be part of a process I had no qualifications for (other than that as “client”) yet one in which I was always made to feel comfortable and sincerely heard, incredible to witness his mind working - never missing a detail - ...

Excellent design, installation, and responsiveness! Very knowledgeable, but also willing to work with us on what we wanted and able to suggest good alternatives.

In March of 2015, I decided the best way to create new energy and revitalize my house and property would be to start with the landscape. I knew there was a lot of potential but I was always left frustrated by the amount of overgrowth and clutter than made any kind of small gain or improvement completely invisible. I was able to find Robert and his work through this website and some neighborhood/city-wide "reconnaissance". From what I could see, I felt his clean, modern-contemporary aesthetic would be a good match for the house. It was easy to set up a consultation, and we first had a very casual walk-around the house and property. I was nervous because it was such a disaster and tho...

Honesty, competence, and affordable pricing: you would be lucky to get two out of three in a contractor, but with Robert Leeper Landscapes I got all three. Here's my story: It was three weeks before our Thanksgivings party when, in the midst of business trip, I discovered that the landscape contractor who I found on porch.com had gone awol after one day into my landscaping project - building a stone walkway designed by Robert Leeper and quoted for $10K - and left 6 tons of stone strewn all over the front yard. I called the previous bidders and reputable masons from Angie's List and HOA referrals, and the few that returned calls were unavailable. Robert called me back within two hours, ...

Robert helped transform our parched front lawn and our brown patchy backyard into an elegant and vibrant landscape that we now absolutely love. After multiple attempts to use the right plants / grass / stones to remedy otherwise sun-scorched patches of lawn, we were nervous to go for another futile round of landscape and design. Robert, with his kind energy and broad professional knowledge, made us feel confident from day one that we would be able to finally get it right--without reinventing the wheel. By using much of the materials (especially stonework) that we already had, our backyard was brought to life with bamboo and palms for further privacy, tropical flowering plants, and a beautifu...

We hired Robert and his team to update our existing landscape as the final piece of an overall remodeling job. It was a major project that spanned five months (in part because of weather and in part because of choices we made). We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Robert or the results. The project included adding/updating rock walls, steps, and planters; updating the sprinkler system; adding lighting; and incorporating new plantings. He also helped us find and choose a new mailbox and add other ornamental elements, such as a bench and decorative planters, that were like adding the right pieces of jewelry to complete an outfit. We also needed to replace some of our gutt...

I found Robert Leeper online. His website looked great and had several examples of the style we were looking for - modern minimalism. (If you are looking for a cheap deal, read no further!) Robert responded in a timely manner to all of our inquiries and promptly set up an appointment to do an estimate. We really liked his professional manner - quiet but with a nice sense of humor. The sketches looked fantastic and we paid our deposit. One thing to note is that he stays booked and your project may not start immediately. The design and the outstanding work by his crew were well worth the wait. The crew was here on time, everyday, and worked really hard in the Texas heat. They wer...

We hired Robert to landscape our beautiful Colonial sorority house. He incorporated low maintenance and south-charm plants in his design. Robert is punctual and professional and very courteous.

i had the unique experience of working with Robert Leeper and his crew for the past 3 months. Unique because one of my neighbors used him and came highly recommended. Also unique was that my other neighbor directly next door choose another landscaper and I could see the difference in the work between two different companies. Robert Leeper did a masterful job and the finish product was better than I expected. His workers were courtesy and kept a neat working environment. Robert would keep me updated so I always knew what was going on. They did not take any short cuts along the way. I would highly recommend this firm for landscaping work.

It was a pleasure to work with Robert and his team. After our initial consultation, he came up with and implemented a design that was both beautiful and functional for the needs of our family (including our “escape artist” dog). Robert immediately addressed any questions we had during the project and stopped by several times to see how the work was progressing. The end result is amazing and we couldn’t be happier with our new back yard.

Our project with Robert met all of our functional goals and exceeded our pre-project design expectations. The project comprised making a steep side yard serviceable and converting a steeply sloping backyard area into a terraced patio. The new areas are incorporated into the existing property and have expanded our living area. Robert’s design also accounted for water management on the property and it has performed well during recent heavy rain storms. The design process was easy with helpful suggestions and alternative options presented at decision points. Installation fit and finish is excellent and the work was completed on schedule. We are very pleased with Robert and his crew and highly...

Robert and crew completely reworked the landscaping in my front yard. This included a new sidewalk, multiple sections of lawn replaced with gravel-based beds (steel edge separated), and numerous plantings to go with it. It was a perfect fit for the house and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Communication is extremely important to me and Robert was always *very* responsive to all of my questions and concerns. The overall process (from consultation through design and implementation) was wonderful. Many thanks to him and his team for a job well done.

Robert and his team designed and executed a complete backyard remodel that includes a major change in elevation, limestone retaining walls and steps, a limestone patio and a fence as well as new trees and grass. The end result exceeded our expectations in every way. Robert is very thoughtful in his design and was able to capture exactly what we wanted. He has a great eye for detail and very high standards for quality and customer satisfaction. Robert has clearly cultivated a great team to implement his designs. Every person worked very hard and was always courteous and took pride in the work. It was the same guys every day, and each one worked tirelessly Again, the high standards ...

We did a full landscape remodel of our acre lot. Our lot was a challenge due to slopes, rocky soil, harsh sun and heavily wooded areas. Robert came up with a plan that addressed all or our concerns and all of our wants. He was able to terrace out the sloped landscape with incredible masonry work, clear some woods for a large lawn area, provide much needed drainage and great ground cover and planting options for the harsh sun conditions. We added irrigation and lighting, as well. The crew working on the job was fabulous - hard working and courteous. The final result is amazing and we get compliments on the job daily.

Robert Leeper Landscapes delivered the whole package for my landscape project; excelling at each step in the process. 1. Client interview and needs analysis. 2. Partnering with the architect and builder 3. Forward design. 4. Implementation 5. Follow up. Initially, Robert held meetings with the architect and builder to create a landscape plan that complemented the vision for the overall project. Only after all the issues were discussed did Robert present a proposal. The design was impressive. It was a classic, yet modern plan that enhanced the project. Then Robert and his team executed the plan exactly as it was proposed. During the implementation phase I would often co...

Because Texas existing water resources are limited, we sought to find an landscape artist to create a sustainable back yard that would require little water and would have native plants that could withstand future droughts. Robert Leeper is a creative genius. He transformed our unhappy back yard from a barren space of dirt, dead lawn, and a collection of overgrown shrubs into a stylishly modern multi-use space-- within our budget. Our yard was sloped and he cut it into a series of terraced steps. It looks very European and minimal which we love. He used a mixture of pavers and pea gravel and reduced but elevated our lawn in a steel frame by carving out the earth. We now have a mixture of...

I love my new landscape. Robert designed something classic and simple (and easy to take care of!). Gives my house a fresh, modern look (despite the fact is was built in the 1950s) in a way that still relates to the existing house. He is extremely talented and easy to work with. His crew is awesome too - so nice and considerate. Love them!

Robert Leeper Landscapes provided start to finish service for our landscaping project. Robert Leeper Landscapes worked with us to assess the scope of our project, the design, the details, budget determination, estimates and install. Our project scope included the backyard, side yard and front yard and our property is just under 3/4 of an acre. We are very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Robert Leeper Landscapes for any project big or small.

Robert designed the front and back landscape for my house. I consulted him before the remodel of the house began to have overall picture of what the inside and outside of house should look. He listened to my ideas and incorporated them into the design. I loved working with him and the end result was fantastic. I have received many compliments on the landscape and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
