Professional Landscaping Services in Westlake Hills
Westlake Hills estates present challenges you won’t find in a typical Austin suburb — steep limestone hillsides, Edwards Aquifer water-use restrictions, and the expectation that every outdoor space functions as both a structural solution and a curated living environment. We build landscapes specifically for the Westlake Hills terrain and climate, using native and adapted plants, smart irrigation, and estate-grade hardscape that holds up season after season.

Davenport Ranch
Large-lot estates in 78746 with sweeping Hill Country views. We design and install terraced landscapes, outdoor kitchens, and estate-scale hardscape for Davenport Ranch properties that command the hillside.
Rob Roy
A gated enclave off Bee Cave Road with multi-acre properties. We handle the engineering-intensive work these steep lots demand — structural retaining walls, erosion control, and luxury outdoor living spaces.
Cuernavaca
An established neighborhood near Barton Creek with mature tree canopies. We work around specimen oaks and existing topography to create refined, deer-resistant planting designs that complement the natural setting.
Westlake Highlands
Hillside subdivisions where limestone terracing and well-engineered retaining walls are a necessity. We build Las Lomas and Westlake Highlands landscapes that hold the slope, control erosion, and look exceptional year-round.


What Makes Westlake Hills Landscapes Different
Hillside Engineering & Limestone Terracing
Steep bluffs in Davenport Ranch, Rob Roy, and Westlake Highlands demand structural retaining walls and terraced planting beds built to hold the slope — not just look good on opening day. Our crew brings the engineering chops for it.
Drought-Tolerant, Deer-Resistant Native Palette
Deer pressure and Edwards Aquifer water-use restrictions shape every planting plan we write for Westlake Hills. We lead with Texas mountain laurel, agave, agarita, and other native and adapted species that thrive without heavy irrigation and stand up to browse.
Estate-Scale Hardscape & Outdoor Living
Westlake Hills properties expect more than a patio and some mulch. We design and build outdoor kitchens, pool surrounds, multi-level entertaining decks, fire features, and finish-grade stonework that match the scale and ambition of these estate-level homes.
One Crew, Design Through Install
No subbing out the hard parts. Our in-house crew handles design, retaining walls, planting, irrigation, and lighting on steep Westlake Hills lots — one point of contact, one standard of finish, and the engineering know-how to execute it.
