FAQs

How do you handle common Austin issues like overgrown shrubs and tree root damage?

Our maintenance and tree care services are tailored for Austin's vigorous growth. For overgrown shrubs, we provide expert pruning and shaping to restore health and aesthetics, or can advise on removal and replacement with more suitable, climate-resilient varieties. For tree root damage to lawns or walkways, we offer solutions that may include careful root pruning, strategic regrading, or installing root barriers during new construction to protect your hardscape. Our approach prioritizes the long-term health of your entire landscape ecosystem.

Do you handle both design and construction, and how does that process work?

Yes, we are a full-service design-build firm. The process begins with a collaborative design phase where we listen to your vision, assess your site, and create a custom plan. Once the design is finalized, our own experienced crew handles all construction and installation—from earthmoving and retaining walls to patio construction and planting. This integrated approach ensures the design is executed precisely, fosters clear communication, and makes the entire experience smooth and enjoyable for you.

What makes your plant selections different for Austin landscapes?

Having worked in Central Texas for over two decades, we've witnessed which plants thrive and which struggle with our changing weather patterns, including colder winters and droughts. We maintain a 'road-tested' plant list, using only species we have observed successfully adapting to these conditions. We avoid trendy plants that may not be resilient, ensuring your investment grows into a sustainable, beautiful landscape that will endure for years with proper care.
