Common Questions
Landscaping FAQ
How much does xeriscaping cost in Austin, TX?
Most xeriscape projects in Austin range from $8,000 to $35,000 depending on yard size, materials, and plant selection. A typical 1,000 sq ft xeriscape with decomposed granite, native plants, and steel edging runs $12,000–$18,000. We provide free on-site estimates for every project.
Do I need a permit to build a pergola in Austin?
In most cases, yes. The City of Austin requires a building permit for pergolas and shade structures over 200 square feet or attached to the house. We handle all permitting as part of our design-build process so you don't have to worry about code compliance.
What is the best low-maintenance landscaping for Central Texas?
Xeriscape with native and adapted plants is the best low-maintenance option for Central Texas. We use species like Flame Acanthus, Blackfoot Daisy, Mexican Feathergrass, and Anacacho Orchid Tree that thrive in Austin's heat and require minimal watering once established. Combined with decomposed granite and steel edging, these landscapes look great year-round with almost no upkeep.
How long does a full backyard transformation take?
Most full backyard projects take 3–6 weeks from groundbreaking to completion, depending on complexity. A simple xeriscape or turf installation can be done in 1–2 weeks. Large projects with pergolas, pools, outdoor kitchens, and custom hardscape may take 8–12 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.
What type of outdoor lighting do you install?
We specialize in WLED (White LED) and FCOB (Flip Chip on Board) lighting — the latest in landscape lighting technology. Unlike standard LED strip lights, FCOB produces a continuous, dot-free glow that looks like neon. We integrate lighting into steel planters, under cap stones, along pathways, and into pergola structures for a dramatic nighttime effect.
Do you build custom fire pits and outdoor kitchens?
Yes — custom fire features and outdoor kitchens are among our most popular services. We design and build everything from floating steel fire pits with volcanic rock to full outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, bar tops, refrigeration, and stone countertops. Every feature is custom-designed to fit your space and style.
What areas near Austin do you serve?
We serve Austin and all surrounding communities including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Westlake Hills, Georgetown, Buda, Kyle, Dripping Springs, and Circle C Ranch. We offer free on-site consultations throughout our service area.
Can you work with any budget?
Absolutely. Our motto is "Any Project, Any Budget." Whether you need a simple xeriscape refresh or a complete outdoor living transformation with a pool, pergola, and outdoor kitchen, we design solutions that maximize your investment. Every project starts with a free consultation where we discuss your vision and budget.
