Landscape Design + Build · Tarrytown, Austin

Landscape design + build in Tarrytown.

Tarrytown is shade. Mature live oaks define every lot — from 1930s cottages to modern infills. We design landscapes that work under that canopy, with the canopy, for the canopy.

What works in Tarrytown

What we know about working in Tarrytown.

The single biggest design constraint in Tarrytown is shade. Live oaks 60+ years old shade most of the lot most of the day. Sun-loving plants fail; shade-tolerant natives thrive. We know which is which.

Many Tarrytown projects are ‘editing’ projects, not ‘starting from scratch.’ Existing trees stay. Existing porches get re-paired with new gardens. Existing courtyards get re-imagined. Subtle, additive work.

Tarrytown lots are mid-sized — bigger than Hyde Park, smaller than Westlake. That puts every square foot in play. We design tightly, intentionally, with no wasted space.

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.
