We’re a design-to-build landscaping company: high-level designers draft your project, our own crews build it, and the two talk daily. Custom pools, outdoor kitchens, patios, and full landscape transformations — every one engineered for Central Texas soil, heat, and storms.

The company was founded by Texas A&M graduates on honesty, integrity, and a high code of ethics. In practice that means realistic budgets discussed at the first visit, designs you approve before construction, and a five-step process with no fog: consult, design, approve, build, walkthrough.

We ask your budget early — not to stretch it, but to design inside it. Then we build something that still looks intentional in year ten.

What we build

The work, vertically.

Four project types, one standard: designed for your lot, engineered for Texas ground, built by the team that drew it. Bands shown are sample pricing.

01

Custom pools

Geometric or freeform — spas, tanning ledges, baja shelves — with master-level certification behind the shell, hydraulics, and finishes. Equipment automated and forgotten.

$75k–$125k+
02

Outdoor kitchens

Grill stations, bars, pizza ovens in stone and steel. Gas, power, ventilation, and layered lighting resolved in the drawings — not discovered mid-build.

$25k–$60k
03

Patios & hardscaping

Paver patios, seating walls, fire features, walkways — proper base depths, drainage designed in, surfaces level through thermal swing.

$15k–$50k
04

Full transformations

The entire backyard composed at once: pool, kitchen, patio, planting, lighting. One team sequences every trade so nothing collides.

$50k–$125k+

From the journal

Decisions, explained.

Patios

Paver patio vs. stamped concrete

Repairability, heat underfoot, and how each ages in Texas sun — the honest trade-offs before you commit to a surface for twenty years.

Water-wise

What xeriscaping actually means

Not gravel and cactus — layered native planting on efficient irrigation that looks lush while drinking less. Austin homeowners are converting for a reason.

Irrigation

Sprinkler vs. drip: Austin’s hot-climate answer

Overhead spray loses to evaporation by noon; drip delivers to the root. Which zones want which — and what each costs to run.

Materials

Are white rocks good for landscaping?

They’re bright, clean, and hotter than you’d think. Where reflective rock helps, where mulch wins, and how to mix both without regret.

Good questions

Asked often.

How much does a custom pool cost?

Most land between $75,000 and $125,000+ (sample pricing), depending on size, features, and site conditions. Pool + outdoor living combined typically starts above $125k. Honest budget talk happens at the consultation.

Do you handle design and construction?

Yes — complete design-to-build under one roof. Designers draft it, our crews build it. Nothing lost between drawing and dirt.
