Westlake Hills is one of Austin's most prestigious residential enclaves — an independent city carved into the limestone bluffs west of downtown, where large estate lots command sweeping views of Lake Austin and the surrounding Hill Country. The terrain here is steep, the soil is thin over solid rock, and the mature live oak canopies are protected by strict municipal ordinances. Red Agave has deep experience building luxury landscapes on exactly this kind of demanding topography, from the winding roads off Westlake Drive to the hillside estates along Red Bud Trail.
Properties in Rob Roy, Barton Creek, and the neighborhoods flanking Bee Caves Road share a common thread: homeowners who expect premium materials and meticulous execution. Our approach in Westlake Hills mirrors the caliber of the homes themselves. Every element — from native xeriscape installations to cantilevered deck systems — is engineered for the site's specific grade, drainage patterns, and root-zone constraints. We don't flatten the land to fit a design; we design to honor the land.
Westlake Hills' strict zoning and building codes mean that permits, setbacks, and tree-preservation plans are non-negotiable parts of every project. We handle that process from day one, coordinating with the city's requirements so your project moves forward without delays. The result is an outdoor space that looks inevitable — as though the landscape and the architecture grew up together.
Drought-adapted native plantings, natural limestone terracing, decomposed granite paths, and custom steel edging. Designed for Westlake Hills' rocky substrate and municipal water-conservation standards.
Multi-level and cantilevered deck systems engineered for Westlake Hills' steep hillside lots. IPE, composite, and cedar builds with steel subframes anchored into limestone.
Cedar and Corten steel pergolas, shade pavilions, and complete outdoor rooms. Positioned to frame Lake Austin views while providing relief from the western sun exposure.
Natural stone fire pits, linear gas fire tables, and custom water features scaled for estate-sized properties. Hand-selected limestone and weathering steel details.
Full outdoor kitchen builds with natural stone veneer, honed concrete countertops, built-in grills, and premium appliances. Designed for the scale of Westlake Hills entertaining.
Low-voltage WLED systems that highlight heritage oaks, stone retaining walls, and architectural facades. Moonlighting, path lighting, and dramatic uplighting for hillside estates.
Custom pool builds on challenging hillside terrain. Infinity edges overlooking Lake Austin, natural stone coping, and vanishing-edge designs that work with Westlake Hills' elevation changes.
Complete estate transformations from concept through construction. We coordinate grading, retaining walls, drainage, hardscape, planting, lighting, and irrigation as a single integrated project.
