Xeriscaping
Report
Xeriscaping is landscape and gardening style that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water from irrigation. If you happen to live in a surrounding city of Dallas, you are probably very familiar by now the water restrictions that come up regularly during the summer months. A water wise landscape design is sought after for many homeowners during this time.
Tree Services
Report
Let us design and install the perfect tree to anchor your landscaping. A new tree will add natural beauty to your property, and a great life-giving oxygen to the planet. And if that were not enough, a tree is a gift that can be enjoyed for generations to come. Trust Absolutely Bushed for that new shade tree, fruit bearing tree, flowering tree to add to your landscape.
Drainage Solutions
Report
Good drainage in the landscape is as important as proper irrigation. In the Dallas area, we often have torrential rains followed by months of searing heat. Dallas cloudbursts can overwhelm any drain system. Too much water in landscaped areas during wet weather months can result in numerous plant diseases - and can even kill sensitive plants.
Fences
Report
Home builders more than likely used landscape timbers for post. Landscape timbers are not ideal fencing material. They are weak and warp. They are often used to make raised vegetable gardens and herb gardens; not for keeping children and pets on your property. Absolutely Bushed Landscaping has a meticulous master carpenter on staff with over 40 years experience.

Lawrence was a joy to work with. Listened to our wants and needs and came up with solutions in the design. Team did a great job communicating during the install and even came back to fix a sprinkler issue that probably had more to do with the poor quality of the sprinkler install when the house was built then their work but they wanted to make sure we were happy. We are very happy with the results and their work.

Our back yard is gorgeous thanks to Absolutely Bushed! Matt and the entire team were phenomenal from start to finish. Professional, cleaned up daily, responded to all questions and requests immediately. They created a vision for our back yard that was beautiful, but when it came to life was more than we dreamed of! Our neighbor told us they hired Absolutely Bushed for their back yard based on watching the crew's work ethic, what they saw upon completion and how respectful, careful, friendly, and competent the entire team was.
So impressed! Thanks so much to Absolutely Bushed, we can relax and enjoy a beautiful, custom landscape. We now recommend them to everyone and use them in the future for all outdoor needs.

Job was to extend the patio with 24x24 pavers, add a fence gate, and add 28 shrubs to the side yard. Overall, the job completed was decent. However, a few pavers were unbalanced and moved when stepped on. The metal edging around the extended patio was above the pavers causing a tripping hazard. Some of the metal edging didn't have metal stakes installed and no corner stakes were installed.
I did have to go to lowes to buy these stakes to install myself and did have to add additional base material to make the edging and pavers the same height and level. Instead of disposing the base material and removed dirt properly, these were disposed of in the empty lot behind our house despite myself paying them a landfill deposit. Unfortunately other vendors the community uses also use the empty lot to dispose of material.
The material used for the fenced gate was unstained (was not a part of the bid). They did offer suggestions of what type of stain to use which I then purchased an applied after they left. A latch was added to the top of the fence gate which did allow for the bottom to sway with the wind and when closed. I did add an additional latch to the bottom to address this issue.
The bushes used for the shrub planting was great quality and the shrubs were planted at the requested location. Overall, would recommend for installing plants but hesitant to recommend for paver and gate installation.

After five failed attempts of trying to procure a contract with other vendors, I was relieved to finally come in contact with Lawrence at Absolutely Bushed Landscaping. From day one, he was dependable, flexible, and patient with me during his initial visit. He and his crew did an EXCELLENT job and I definitely plan to contact him again for phase 2 of my project. I would highly recommend Absolutely Bushed Landscaping to anyone who is looking for someone they can trust.

Love love love my yard. It looks beautiful and I'm so happy. Loved working with this company. They listen and they all speak perfect English which is important to me since I speak no Spanish. My yard use to be awful due to the horrible ice storm we had everything died no it's beautiful and alive. I'm a very happy camper.

I had a great experience with Jimmie, the owner laying out the design, selecting the perfect plants and trees for my yard. Chris and his team were on it from the beginning. They were very professional and did a wonderful job on the design and planting. They were neat and organized and when they were done, my yard looks fabulous. I am very impressed with Absolutely Bushed Landscaping Company and would not hesitate in contacting them again. Linda Seifert

I rarely write a review unless I get exceptional service! We highly recommend Absolutely Bushed and Lawrence for the wonderful back yard they created for us. From the awesome fire pit to the great flagstone patio to the beautiful landscaping, we could not be more pleased. Lawrence went above and beyond to find the perfect plants/trees for us which was not easy after the freeze of this year and the difficulty of finding plants. We love our new back yard oasis!

Lawrence and his team were great to work with it. Lawrence was very responsive and really listened to what we wanted to do in both our front and back yards, while giving professional recommendations on what would work best. He is extremely knowledgeable and developed a design that we are very happy with. They crew who worked on our project was professional, hard-working and had amazing customer service.
They all went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and the end result was exactly what we wanted. We can't wait to work on phase 2, as we will certainly use them again.

I would like to express my appreciation for Lawrence Harrison and the great job he (and his crew) did on our landscaping. We had been searching for a company to design/install landscaping in our front and back beds and after interviewing several companies, were feeling frustrated in that we could not find a company/designer who understood our vision and could complete it within a reasonable budget.
During our consultation, Lawrence immediately understood our vision of wanting a 'Forest Floor Look' under our shaded backyard (comprised of oaks, burr and magnolias in a long, narrow area). He suggested appropriate plantings and made suggestions which would enhance the look, at the same time being functional for the light exposure (or lack thereof) and drainage.
I was very happy with the fact that the landscape designer was also the person coordinating the install and liked his 'hands on' approach. Additionally, during the installation, he was extremely flexible to accommodate my requests/questions about 'tweaks' to the design, to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. Lawrence kept us updated on when they would be working, starting and ending and cleaned up very nicely upon completion.
He offered additional suggestions for products to maintain the look and even keep critters out of the beds. I will be sure to recommend Absolutely Bushed Landscaping for future needs. As an interior designer by trade, I highly value having reliable tradesmen and contractors I can refer my clients to. Thanks for a great job!

We first used Absolutely Bused 15 years ago when we purchased our house. After the 2021 ice storm, while there was still snow on the ground, we knew one of our first calls would be to Absolutely Bushed to check the status of our plants and renew as needed. While the vast majority of their earlier plantings made it safely through, there were some that did not.
We moved ahead to update and replace in the front yard plus we decided to go ahead and have our backyard done! Absolutely Bushed team worked with us over multiple visits to make sure we were getting the plants and look that we wanted. The soil prep they do, while not cheap, is imperative to keeping plants healthy in our north Texas clay and makes continued maintenance very easy. We receive compliments regularly on our yard and could not be happier. Looking forward to enjoying our back yard even more.

Just returned from Russia and finally got to see your handiwork. I viewed the pictures on the website while I was gone and things looked really nice, but when I got back to see it live, I had only one comment - WOW. It is truly a pleasure to just sit in the yard and be surrounded by the peace and serenity prompted by the garden that you have created for us.

We are thrilled with our landscaping! Everything looks so beautiful. You and your crew did a wonderful job. I appreciate all of your suggestions to achieve the look I wanted. Your crew was very courteous and worked with our requests. Your foreman made sure everything was cleaned up before they left every single day.

Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful landscaping job Steve and his crew did for me. I just love it. They were such a pleasure to work with. It is not often that companies that provide a service have such great employees. They were all friendly and well mannered. I so appreciate the excellent follow through. Whatever Steve said was going to happen, happened and on schedule.

I have to tell you - I am VERY impressed! Your crew was fabulous, NEAT - most of all, and they just did a great job. I can't tell you how many times I have had work done and things are just a mess and it then takes you a while to recover or you end up having to clean things up yourself. It drives me NUTS! I never look forward to having work done around the house.

Jimmie thank you so much for doing exactly what you said you would, making our courtyard a peaceful, serenity garden. I hear the water from the fountains every night when I go to sleep. I can't believe I finally found a contractor who actually shows up when he says he will, does exactly what he is suppose to do and come in under budget! What a blessing.
