Questions and Answers

What's your approach to Austin's common issues like patchy St. Augustine grass and mulch bed weeds?

In Austin's climate, patchy lawns and persistent weeds often stem from soil compaction, improper irrigation, or using non-native plants. Our process starts with a soil analysis and site assessment. We address patchy grass by aerating, adjusting your irrigation design for deeper watering, and recommending resilient turf varieties. For mulch beds, we use pre-emergent treatments and dense, native ground covers to suppress weeds naturally, reducing the need for chemicals and conserving water—a key concern for our local ecosystem.

Do you handle both the design and construction of projects like patios and retaining walls?

Yes, we are a full-service design-build firm. Your dedicated project manager oversees the entire process, from the initial concept and landscape design through to construction and installation. This includes structural elements like patios, driveways, and retaining walls, as well as softscaping and irrigation. We coordinate all subcontractors, timelines, and budgets, providing a single point of contact to transform your vision into a built reality without the stress of managing multiple teams.

What does your 'white-glove' project management service include for a major yard transformation?

Our project management means we handle all the details for you. From the first design consultation to the final walkthrough, your assigned manager coordinates every aspect: detailed design plans, permitting, material selection, scheduling of specialized crews (for earthmoving, masonry, planting, etc.), and budget tracking. We focus on sustainable construction and lasting beauty, ensuring your outdoor space is not only built to last but becomes a personal oasis that enhances your daily life in Austin.
