Landscape Design + Build · Barton Creek, Austin

Landscape design for Hill Country slopes.

Barton Creek lots are steep, view-rich, and bordered by greenbelt. We design landscapes that work with the topography — terraced limestone, native meadow plantings, infinity-edge pools that catch the Hill Country horizon.

What works in Barton Creek

What we know about working in Barton Creek.

Barton Creek lots are steep. Hillside design is the dominant constraint. We design with terraced limestone, stepped retaining walls, careful grade transitions. Every project here has a grading and drainage plan as the foundation.

Many Barton Creek lots back to the greenbelt. We design landscapes that read as continuous with the wild Hill Country — native plant palettes, naturalistic plantings, no hard suburban edges.

Estate-scale projects are common here. Full-yard redesigns, integrated pools, outdoor kitchens, lighting, drainage. We’ve built many. We’re scaled for it.

Our process

What working with us looks like.

Step 01

Site visit

We walk the property, talk through use, check drainage and sun, and leave with a fixed-fee design proposal — usually within a week.

Step 02

Master plan

2D plan view, material palette, native plant list, phased budget. You see it before we touch a shovel. Design fee credits 100% toward the build.

Step 03

Build

Our crew, not subs. We handle hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting end-to-end. Most projects finish in 4–10 weeks.

Step 04

Year-one care

Walk-throughs at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months. Anything that doesn’t establish, we replace. 5-year warranty on hardscape.
