Kellen's Backyard

Austin, TX · 5★ · "Zero pressure. Can't go wrong."
Projects·Project 05

Kellen and his wife wanted a backyard environment, not a piecemeal list of bids. We walked the property, sketched it, priced the full scope on a single page, and built it. No upsells mid-project. No "actually, that'll be another $4K." When we said the job would take seven weeks, it took seven weeks.

The scope: a patio sized for ten guests, a built-in seat wall that anchors the dining zone, integrated path lighting on a smart transformer, and a re-landscaped border so the new hardscape doesn't read as a transplant. Pet-friendly design throughout — Kellen has a black lab that supervises every site visit.

Kellen left us a five-star verbatim: "My wife & I would highly recommend HCOL to anyone looking to create a new outdoor environment. Kyle and his crew were very professional & friendly with zero pressure. They did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it, for the price they said they would do it for. The communication was great & the finished product is exactly what we had in mind. Can't go wrong!"
