“I’m not very happy with my experience! Nate built me a new boat lift and boat cover and since he didn’t have the ability to raise our roof 3ft so we could drive our boat straight into the lift with the tower and Bimini top up I had to get another company to do that and coordinating with Nate when roof was done being raised he could then install the boat cover! Whenever we finally got to get our boat into the water for the first time since the drought we pulled up to our dock and couldn’t even get our boat into our slip because they installed the boat cover to low, not even with the tower down 🤬 So I called Nate and told him we had a problem and he sent someone out to give me a bid to raise it and once they finished my boat cover doesn’t even completely cover my boat now and is basically a total waste of money and they want me to pay the rest to raise the boat cover whenever none of this is my fault ?!?! How is their miscalculation my fault?!! I called Nate to discuss I had to leave this message to his supervisor and when he didn’t call me back I sent a text over and no response!!!”

“We just started a new project for our custom home building company and hired Nate & his team over at ATX Lakescapes to help with some emergency structural support, a facelift and to remove the lake grass from the slip. Already looking better and can't wait to see the finished product.”

“Worked with Rebecca & Nate on a great project recently and they are innovative and stand up in a contracting world filled with fly by night types. We've been in similar design and construction business for 25 years and recognize quality. Whether we will collab or refer it's going to be awesome to call on them for all things boat dock, luxury lifts and techno post pilings. The lake is low. Now is when you fix your pilings, posts and access and I unequivocally recommend them.”

“I can't say enough good things about my experience with Nate and crew at ATX Lakescapes! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and friendly. The installation of my new 10,000lb Sunstream hydraulic boat lift, bow stop, and guide-ons went smoothly, and now my dock feels like a true haven for my Tigé Ultré 23ZX. The team was knowledgeable and took the time to ensure everything was installed correctly, at the proper height and distances, leveled and to my satisfaction. My new boat has never been easier to launch and retrieve. I highly recommend ATX Lakescapes to anyone looking to upgrade their equipment for their waterfront property!”

“Nate and his team just finished installing a boat lift and updating our boat dock. They did an amazing job! We received constant updates and photos of the progress throughout and the guys were always professional and courteous. Definitely recommend them and will continue to use their services moving forward!”

“Nate and team are awesome and I highly recommend them for any dock hardware you need - lifts, protection, covers, swim accessories, etc. Nate is really helpful with planning and he is willing to spend the time and effort to you help you figure out the best solution for your dock. Nate installed two hydraulic lifts on my dock, followed by many accessories as needs grew. We are currently working on some further additions and he never hesitates to spend time to help with planning and new ideas. Whenever I've had a problem he responds immediately and takes care of it. He is extremely fair and a truly stand-up guy.”

“Nate and the ATX Lakescapes team are fantastic. They installed a hydraulic boat lift for us that works great. They also helped me with an emergency repair when I was in a bind. They’ve also done a host of other lakeside work for me over the years. Highly recommend!!!”

“Updated 9/3/2023 Working directly with the lift manufacturer and ATX Lakescapes, after many months of the effort to address the lift issues it is now working. I have updated my review and will continue to do so based upon our experience. I will give credit to Nate and his team for their persistence to ensure I was satisfied. Orginal post below Lakescapes designed and installed a new Econolift boat lift in October of 2021. Since then, the lift has failed three times, damaging my boat structurally and cosmetically. The owner, Nate Menkin, is in disbelief that a failure is possible, each time guaranteeing that it could not happen again. Once, when the lift failed, the dock line feeder they installed flew past my wife's head, nearly decapitating her. In an effort to support a local business, I've patiently worked with them through the first two failures. I can no longer trust my boat and the safety of my family to the workmanship of Lakescapes and Nate. I need to replace the 18-month-old lift with a proven lift system, hydra hoist, and work with a competent installation organization. All the fun in our family's boating has been destroyed.”

“ATX, have done most of my neighborhood on Lake Austin now and several of my friends across the lake. They have been at the new doc and repair business for a long time and really care about the outcome of the job as reputation is everything. I recently had a lift go down with a popped hydraulic line and they had someone from their team out to get fluid back in the system, secure my boat, and had the line replaced next day! This is above and beyond to me in their insanely busy schedule. Strongly recommend the team!”

“I’ve worked with Nate at ATX Lakescapes on several small dock and boat lift repair issues. I am also currently working with Nate on a new dock construction, which is a pretty huge project involving engineering, design, permitting, etc. Through it all, Nate has been transparent, honest, and exceptionally reliable. It shows when you are working with people who take pride in their craft, and that’s what you’ll get with this group. Things done right, done once. Highly recommend for you Lake Austin/Lake Travis and other central Texas projects.”

“I normally do not write reviews. We got a dock rebuild and boat lift placed on our property on the lake with atxlakeescapes. We used OTHER companies in past and were very dissatisfied. We had an amazing experience with Nate and his team at Atxlakescapes. They were professional, experienced and very knowledgeable on getting our project done appropriately. The completed result was beyond our expectations! They completed our job in a timely manner and the communication was superb! I highly recommend their services!”

“Nate and his team were great from start to finish. Definitely recommend”

“Please do not use this company and if you do, I hope that you get a copy of his liability insurance policy, because if you don't and all goes south he will not give it you. Our Spring Break family plans are ruined because our lift failed and our boat engine sustained water and now needs to be replace as well as our power pole and possibly electrical. Nate, has now told us twice that he would give us his insurance and then said, he would not. We are now in a long drawn out process and who knows how long it will take. We are devastated by this whole experience.”

“Nate at ATX Lakescapes is the consummate professional. My firm works with his group on a regular basis and I can’t recommend his services enough. He has gone out of his way on numerous occasions to offer exceptional service to our mutual clients and this level of service, combined with his enjoyable personality, ensures we will be collaborating well into the future.”

“Do not use this company. We have had the worst experience with Nate. He installed a unleveled and unstable boat lift for us 2/24 it caused our boat to fall off the lift and sank the engine. Nate said, he would file under his insurance and now won’t. We are now without a boat or a lift.”

“This company is horrible, we spent $56,xxx on a slip with a lift. They had people that had no idea what they were doing, we paid for dredging we didn't really get, they false advertised the cover. They built it wrong twice and it took them 9 weeks to complete and we are still not happy. I would not recommend. .”

“Nate and his team delivered as promised. Work was timely and with great attention to detail. Highly recommend this company.”

“Great experience and amazing customer service throughout the whole project. Kept us inform each step of the way! Thanks Nate!”

“appreciate the re-work | updating review”
