EXPERT XERISCAPE LANDSCAPE DESIGN & INSTALLATION

WHY LOCAL EXPERTISE MATTERS


Xeriscaping in Central Texas is more than just gravel. We understand local soils—from East Austin’s heavy clay to West Lake’s limestone—and choose native, drought-friendly plants that truly belong here. By focusing on drainage and soil health, we create flower beds that grow stronger and fuller over time.

OUR SOLUTIONS


We specialize in smart landscaping—grading your land so water drains properly and building sturdy stone borders that retain moisture and reduce weeds. With drought-resistant plants and efficient drip irrigation, we create low-maintenance landscapes that save water and boost your home’s curb appeal.

DEEP DIVE: THE ELEMENTS OF A GREAT TEXAS XERISCAPE

FLOWER BEDS & SOIL PREP

The secret to a successful xeriscape is what’s underneath. We dig out the old, tired soil and replace it with a nutrient-rich mix designed for native plants. We then edge your flower beds with natural stone or steel to create a clean, professional look. Finally, we apply a thick layer of hardwood mulch. This mulch acts like a blanket, keeping the roots cool in the summer and holding in every drop of moisture.


HARDY PLANTS & NATIVE SPECIES

We love using plants that have lived in Texas for thousands of years. Species like Red Yucca, Lantana, and Salvia add incredible color to your yard without needing a sprinkler running every day. These plants are tough enough to handle the blistering afternoon sun but beautiful enough to make your neighbors stop and look.


STONEWORK & PATHWAYS

Xeriscape design often includes "hardscaping" to reduce the amount of thirsty grass on your property. We use local Austin stone to create beautiful pathways, dry creek beds, and patios. These features add texture to your landscape and give you more usable outdoor space without adding to your chores.


WATER SAVINGS

Traditional sprinklers lose a lot of water to evaporation. As part of our installation, we often suggest drip irrigation for your flower beds. This puts the water exactly where the plants need it—at the roots—and keeps you in compliance with local Austin water restrictions even during the hottest months of the year.

THE PR LAWNS DIFFERENCE: RELIABILITY & INTEGRITY

We are a team of professionals who treat every landscape like a work of art. In a city where it’s hard to get a contractor to call you back, we pride ourselves on being different. We show up on time, we use our own top-tier equipment, and we stick to our fixed-price bids. There are no "hidden fees" once we start digging. We believe in doing the job right the first time, using the best materials and the most meticulous methods. When you work with us, you get total transparency and a landscape built with integrity.
