Custom Landscape Design Built for Central Texas

Every property is different, and every homeowner has a unique vision. That’s why our approach to custom landscape design starts with listening. We want to understand how you use your outdoor space, what your style is, and what goals you have — whether it’s creating a peaceful retreat, a space for entertaining, or a safe area for kids and pets to enjoy.

We’ll help you answer questions like:

  • Do you want a yard that conserves water with drought-tolerant plantings?
  • Are you looking for more shade and wind protection?
  • Do you need defined outdoor rooms for dining, lounging, or play?
  • What colors and textures make you feel at home?

Once we understand your vision, our design team will guide you through plant selection, layout planning, and material choices that make sense for your soil, sun exposure, and personal taste. And if you already have architectural plans, we can work with your designer or bring in a local landscape architect to collaborate.

Hardscaping in Central, TX – Add Structure and Style

No landscape is complete without well-designed hardscaping. These are the structural elements that bring shape, texture, and function to your yard. In Central Texas, hardscaping is especially important — not just for visual appeal, but for helping manage our sloped lots, clay soils, and seasonal runoff.

Our hardscaping services include:

  • Stone patios and walkways
  • Retaining walls
  • Outdoor kitchens and fireplaces
  • Gravel paths and decomposed granite surfaces
  • Raised garden beds and planters
  • Built-in seating areas

We use natural and locally sourced materials wherever possible to keep your project rooted in Central Texas character and climate-appropriate durability.

Xeriscaping and Drought-Resistant Landscaping

With rising temperatures and ongoing water restrictions, more Central Texas homeowners are turning to xeriscaping as a smart alternative to traditional lawns. Our xeriscaping services focus on native and adaptive plants, efficient irrigation, and low-maintenance design that saves water and supports local biodiversity.

We choose plants like Texas sage, agave, Mexican feather grass, red yucca, and dwarf yaupon holly — all proven performers in Central Texas’s hot summers and clay-heavy soils. Mulching, gravel, and dry river beds can be used to control erosion and highlight key features in your landscape.

Not only does xeriscaping reduce your monthly water bill, it also gives you a distinctive, modern look that reflects our Central Texas roots.

Backyard Renovations

Whether you’re reimagining your outdoor space for entertaining, family fun, or just relaxing after a long day, we offer complete backyard renovations to make it happen. We’ll help you transform tired or unused areas into beautiful, functional environments you’ll actually enjoy spending time in.

Garden Installations

Our garden installations are all about selecting the right plants for the right places. We work with Central Texas’s diverse microclimates, from shady yards to sunny, rocky slopes. We choose low-water, low-maintenance plantings that provide year-round beauty while minimizing the need for constant upkeep.

From edible gardens and pollinator beds to colorful seasonal blooms or evergreen hedges, we can design and install a garden that brings life and balance to your landscape.

Design Consultation

Having an outdoor environment with a beautiful landscape design that you use like any other part of your home is good for your health, good for your spirit, and allows you to make the most of the space you own. A well-designed outdoor living space adds both equity and appeal to your property.

Many homeowners choose to get help from professionals as they work to create the perfect design. Taking time to make a plan with experts can save you thousands of dollars and ensure that you get exactly what you want out of your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to start a landscaping project?

Fall and early spring are great times to start landscaping in Central Texas, as temperatures are milder and plants establish more easily. However, we build projects year-round and will guide you based on your timeline and goals.

Do you offer design-only services?

Yes, we can provide detailed plans and planting guides if you prefer to install in phases or work with another contractor. We also work directly with landscape architects when needed.

Can you create a low-maintenance landscape?

Absolutely. We specialize in drought-tolerant, low-maintenance designs using native and adapted plants, proper irrigation planning, and simple-to-maintain hardscapes.

Do you help with HOA or city landscaping approvals?

Yes, we’re familiar with HOA guidelines and City of Austin landscaping codes. We’ll help ensure your design meets all required standards.

Do I need a permit for hardscaping or irrigation work?

In some cases, permits are required for larger structures or irrigation systems. We handle all permitting and inspections as part of our renovation when needed.

At Elements Lawn & Landscape, we’re here to help you get the most out of your outdoor space — whether it’s a total renovation, a new garden installation, or just fresh ideas to improve your property’s flow and feel.
