Landscape Design & Installation in Austin TX

Landscape design and installation covers the full process of planning and building outdoor spaces: grading and drainage work, planting beds and trees, irrigation systems, hardscaping like patios and retaining walls, and sometimes lighting or outdoor kitchens. In Austin, this usually means working around limestone-heavy soil, water restrictions during summer, and the push toward native and drought-tolerant plants like Texas sage, yaupon holly, and various grasses that hold up under heat. We're tracking 239 businesses in this category across the Austin area, ranging from small design-build crews to larger firms that handle commercial properties.

When comparing companies, ask whether they design in-house or subcontract the plan out, how they handle drainage on sloped lots (common in the Hill Country), and whether their irrigation work is licensed as required by Texas law. Get a clear sense of timeline and whether plant warranties are included, since Austin summers are hard on new installs that aren't established yet.
