Our Services

Professional Landscaping Services in Driftwood

Driftwood yards are unlike anything in the suburbs — thin clay over limestone, steep ridges, multi-acre lots, and deer pressure year-round. We build landscapes specifically for the Driftwood hill country climate, using native and adapted plants, drip-first irrigation, and finish-grade hardscape that holds up on acreage estates.

Driftwood home with stone walkway, native plantings, and landscape lighting
  • La Ventana

    Gated equestrian and ranch community off FM 150 with large acreage estates that call for native hill country plant palettes, boulder retaining walls, and drip irrigation tied to well water systems.

  • Howard Ranch

    Custom-home subdivision with larger acreage lots where deep-root native plantings, rock-cut bed prep, and fire-wise plant spacing make all the difference on thin clay-over-limestone soil.

  • Driftwood Estates

    Established rural residential near Salt Lick Road with mature tree canopies and generous lot sizes ideal for decomposed granite paths, native understory plantings, and outdoor living patios.

  • Rim Rock

    Hill country ridge development with dramatic limestone terrain where acreage-grade hardscape — boulder retaining walls, stepped beds, and terraced patios — turns challenging topography into a stunning asset.

What Makes Driftwood Landscapes Different

  • Native Hill Country Plant Palette

    We build with Texas sage, live oak, agarita, yucca, and other deer-resistant, drought-tolerant natives that look like they grew from the limestone bedrock — because they were made for exactly this soil and climate.

  • Drip Irrigation for Well & Rainwater Systems

    Most Driftwood properties run on well water or rainwater harvesting. Our licensed irrigators design drip-first systems that integrate with your existing water supply and keep every gallon working efficiently.

  • Acreage-Grade Hardscape

    Boulder retaining walls, rock-cut planting beds, and decomposed granite paths — built for the scale and terrain of Driftwood’s 1–10+ acre lots where standard suburban installs simply don’t hold up.

  • Fire-Wise & WUI-Aware Design

    We incorporate defensible space planning and WUI-aware plant spacing into every Driftwood design — creating landscapes that are both beautiful and responsible in hill country wildfire terrain.

FAQ

Driftwood Landscaping FAQ

  • Acreage estate installs in Driftwood typically run longer than suburban projects. A focused entry or courtyard area may take three to five weeks; full design-and-build projects with boulder hardscape, drip irrigation, and lighting often run eight to fourteen weeks depending on scope and stone lead times.

  • Yes — this is standard for Driftwood properties. Our licensed irrigators design drip systems that integrate directly with well water and rainwater harvesting tanks, sizing zones and emitters to work within your available flow and storage capacity.

  • Always. On-site consultations and itemized quotes are free, with no obligation. We’ll walk your property with you, assess the soil, grade, and sun exposure, and put together a clear plan built for your acreage.

  • Yes. We carry full general liability and workers’ comp coverage, and our irrigation work is performed by licensed irrigators.

  • We do. Many of our Driftwood clients keep us on for seasonal maintenance — native plant pruning, mulch refresh, drip irrigation tune-ups, and lighting checks — to protect their investment through the long Texas summer and dry fall.

  • All of Driftwood plus surrounding Hays County communities — including La Ventana, Howard Ranch, Driftwood Estates, Rim Rock, and the FM 150 / FM 1826 corridor including Dripping Springs and Wimberley.

  • Yes — defensible space planning and WUI-aware plant spacing are built into every Driftwood design. We select deer-resistant, low-flammability natives like Texas sage, live oak, agarita, and yucca and arrange them to create appropriate separation from structures while still delivering a beautiful, natural hill country look.
