Top Choice

Top Choice Lawn Care handles landscaping work in Austin, Texas. The veteran-owned outfit has run since 2005 and covers mowing, landscaping, irrigation, weed control, aeration, top dressing, tree trimming, mulch application, fertilization, bed creation, planting, fire ant control, patios, artificial turf, and holiday lights. Customers reach them at the listed phone number for estimates on these services.

Reviewers describe crews handling overgrown yards where Mike and Alejandro cut and leveled patches multiple times in one visit despite heat. Other jobs include top dressing spread carefully along edges and thin spots, irrigation fixes where Johnny traced wires and repaired valves in under an hour, and regular mowing plus edging by teams led by Michael or Greg. Additional work covered sprinkler adjustments by Johnny and Dylan, leaf removal, and dry riverbed installs that fixed drainage.

Customers note fast scheduling, clear texts and emails ahead of visits, and crews that stay until the job meets their standards rather than rushing off. Multiple technicians often split tasks to finish quicker, and the office responds promptly to questions about extra services. Work stays affordable with no contracts required, and the same crews return on a set schedule across Austin yards.

The company carries a 5-star Google rating from 127 reviews. Recurring points cover reliable timing, neat and uniform results on lawns, and crews that pay attention to details like sidewalks and nearby cars.

“We had Top Choice Lawn come out to service our overgrown front & backyard last Thursday (May 14th, 2026). The customer service, scheduling and lawn cutting was excellent! The lawn technicians whom came out, Mike & Alejandro, did a phenomenal job on our yard. They even went over a few patch areas second & third time to ensure the grass was leveled, it was really hot that day and I can’t say enough good things about their execution on services rendered — their hard work did not go un-noticed in getting our yard back to normal (see before and after pics). Also, I tried to receive bids from multiple companies — who were wishy washy on scheduling, some just never responded or responded after a few days of requesting an estimate — Mike was clear, concise and promptly followed up like a real sales professional. We will continue to use Top Choice moving forward in the future for other services dealing with our yard. The pricing is on par and competitive with other local lawn service companies. This is the crew you need for lawn services! A+++”

“Just want to give a shout out to the crew who applied the top dressing to our yard. They did an outstanding job by paying particular attention to the edges of the yard and to areas that needed a little more TLC. We’ve had other companies in the past who basically just tossed it in the yard. We’re so please and appreciate the attention to detail that Top Choice gave our yard. They also did not appear ti scrimp the amount of top dressing.We’ve used them in the past for other projects. Excellent communication and always thankful for the advice they provide through their emails.”

“I have used Top Choice for a couple of years. They are outstanding. The work is quick and high quality. They offer so many services, from basic lawn care to sprinkler systems, leaf removal, tree things, and general good advice and tips. Their customer service team is responsive and professional. I like the meme emails they sometimes send. Their owner? CEO? even communicates with customers. I'm sure my friends and family are tired of hearing about it, but Top Choice is just an overall exceptional company and I recommend them 100%.”

“They always do a thorough job and my lawn looks so much better. It makes me happy to drive home and see it so much improved. Extremely reliable as well. Very nice to do business with them!”

“We use Top Choice for lawn mowing, aeration, top dressing and now irrigation. Johnny is amazing and saved us thousands of dollars. We were told by another company that we had to abandon our irrigation system and completely re-install. Johnny was able to locate the damaged wires and repair the issue in 1 hr. He also located buried valve boxes for us. He’s honest, knowledgable and thorough. Highly recommend!”

“Super easy setup, very efficient communication, no weird phone calls or funky interactions! This is a millennial home renters dream lawn team! The lawn service was so fast and the texted ahead so we could put our dogs up. Lawn looks amazing! Can’t wait for the next cut!”

“Excellent job from the crew, they showed up and quickly and professionally got my scheduled lawn care done. Affordable service too. Highly recommend!”

“Top Choice is great- the office team is quick and easy to work with and the team who took care of my yard was thorough and my yard looked perfect afterwards. Looking forward to continuing to have Top Choice help with my lawn”

“Excellent lawn mowing service! I’ve ben using them for years. Fast, efficient, and communicative team. Highly recommend Top Choice Lawn Care.”

“I’ve been using Top Choice for a couple of years and appreciate their responsiveness and level of detail. The crew comes every other week and mows my yards and trims the edges quickly but thoroughly. I have emailed, texted or called with questions about additional services and aways received prompt responses. I don’t have to worry about my lawn anymore.”

“My experience with Too Choice has been top notch. With extremely limited free time, I was looking for a turnkey solution that keeps my yard looking nice without me having to micromanage every step of the process. I found this with Top Choice. I now have regular cadence of weeding/mowing, grass health and care, trimming, weeding, and irrigation maintenance. Switching to top choice was the right move to give me more time in my week.”

“We loved our first week with Top Choice. Was so helpful to switch to a company with caring employees who were sincere and communicative. We're so pleased with our first week and looking forward to seeing our lawn maintained under Top Choices watch moving forward!”

“I have recently used Top Lawn and have been so impressed! I currently have the lawn service and also had them evaluate my sprinkler system that is not working. Greg was professional, knowledgeable and reliable! He took the time to explain everything to me. He even responded when I text after 5pm. I highly recommend Top Choice Lawn! You rarely find this level of service excellence these days! Kudos to the Leadership team as well for recognizing their awesome employees and building such a stellar team !”

“I got an alert from my ATX Smartwater on gallons used and knew I needed help quickly. I chose Top Choice for my irrigation needs a second time because our first experience with Johnny was great. This time it was Johnny with Dylan and things seem to have run smoothly despite my being unavailable. Communication with Top Choice, whether by email or through the portal, is sufficient to get the job done right. Johnny and Dylan came out, adjusted my controller to my specs, reported back on the total run times for the programs and found and repaired leaks. All this and great communication! I continue to find that Top Choice works hard from Vanessa to Johnny to the team manager to the consistent lawn crews. I’ve used every service they offer now, I think, over the last 5 years.”

“Quickly and professionally finish the job. Usually 3 folks working in parallel on different things. So the noise from the mowing is reduced. And they also blow away the dust on the sidewalk and driveway after work. Overall very satisfied!”

“On time, professional, thorough on lawn maintenance, weed control, and overall look of our property.”

“We are new to Top Choice. So far we have enjoyed working with the staff, especiallyJohn who is always available if I have questions. The crew has done a great job of mowing the way I like it cut and trimmed. (ask for Jonathan)”

“Mowing and edging was neat , uniform and trim. Crew was careful of nearby vehicles.”

“I’ve used Top Choice for my lawn care since I moved to Austin six years ago. Since then, they have done my regular lawn care, replaced trees and shrubs that didn’t make it through the last deep freeze and even installed a dry riverbed in my back yard that solved the drainage problems I had during heavy rain. Michael is my crew chief, and I couldn’t be more happy with the service that he and his crew provide. Their communication is excellent. I can depend on the crew being here when scheduled, and know that my yard will look great when they leave. If you’re looking for a great company for your lawn care, I can’t recommend Top Choice more!”

“We came from Agave, and I had so much hope with them, but they didn’t like to communicate, or care. You’d get the strangest, dismissive, confusing communications from the account manager or the office manager. These guys at Top Choice, I think they’re also called Emerald Lawns, have come to the rescue exactly where we needed. No contracts, consistently observant and warm communcations, and a great hard product. For instance, they come to your yard with a riding mower, in a moving truck. They work on your lawn not for any specific period of time, but as long as they see the need to stay which is often double the time of competitors. The edging and blowing are commercial-level, and I see them really looking at the lawn constantly to see the overall appeal and function. That Matters. During the most recent fertilizer treatment, we had a locked backyard and they made every attempt to contact us until it was unlocked and the job was done. After, I received an email with extremely detailed notes like from a college professor about our lawn and the work done. And of course who doesn’t love the emails. They’re solid gold to new homeowners, and every time I contract them for another se”
