Landscape Construction Questions, Answered
Design-build means one veteran-owned team handles your whole project, from the first site walk and master plan through grading, hardscape, planting, and the final walk-through. You are not handing a designer's drawing to a separate contractor and hoping it gets built right. The crew that draws your Austin yard is the crew that builds it, so there is one point of accountability if anything needs to change.
When the design and the build live under one roof, nobody points fingers when a grade does not drain or a wall meets a patio at the wrong height. We catch buildability and budget issues on paper, not after the concrete is poured. One contract, one schedule, one warranty, and one team you can call for the life of the project across the greater Austin area.
We draw the full master plan first so every phase fits the long-term vision, then build in stages that match your budget and timeline. A typical Austin project might start with grading, drainage, and a patio in phase one, add an outdoor kitchen and planting in phase two, and finish with lighting and a water feature later. Because the plan is locked in up front, each phase connects cleanly instead of becoming a costly redo.
Yes. We test soil on-site and engineer around it, raising beds and adding drainage for blackland clay east of MoPac, and pocket planting into caliche and limestone in west Austin. We submit plans to architectural review committees in Lakeway, Westlake, Steiner Ranch, Circle C, and Avery Ranch, and we pull the permits required for structural walls, drainage work, and grading in the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone.
All the time. Steep grades, shallow limestone, deer pressure, and runoff are the norm on Hill Country lots from Dripping Springs to Spicewood. We build terraced retaining walls, cut stable benches into the slope, route drainage away from the foundation, and plant water-wise, deer-resistant natives that hold the soil and survive the heat between rains.
It depends on scope, grade, access, and materials, so we will not quote a number sight unseen. After a free on-site walk-through we give you a written scope with line-item pricing, and on larger jobs we phase the build so you can spread the investment over time.
