How much does landscaping cost in Austin? Pricing depends on the service: weekly lawn mowing runs $45 to $95 per visit, irrigation system installs $3,500 to $8,500, paver patios $18 to $28 per square foot, and full landscape design projects $3,500 to $25,000+. Commercial grounds maintenance runs $800 to $4,500 per month. Most homeowners start with recurring lawn care and add projects over time. Free written estimates: (512) 690-4912.
Most Austin homeowners have already been through a crew that scalped St. Augustine in July, or one that quoted a shaded Hyde Park lot as if it were open sun. What they want next is someone who turns up on the day promised, cuts at the height the grass actually needs, and is still answering the phone in August. That is what Austin Pro Landscape is built to be.
We’re a locally operated landscaping company serving Austin and the Travis County suburbs — Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Hutto, Manor, Bee Cave, Kyle, Buda, and Lakeway. Each written estimate identifies the selected provider, responsibility, visit terms, and approval path before work begins.
Austin Pro Landscape provides seven core services across Travis County and the surrounding suburbs: weekly and bi-weekly lawn mowing, custom landscape design, hardscape installation, smart irrigation, seasonal leaf and debris removal, commercial grounds maintenance, and professional tree care. Every service is tuned for Central Texas conditions — caliche-and-limestone soil west of Mopac, heavy black clay east of it, and the summer heat and drought patterns that determine which grasses, plants, and hardscape materials actually hold up.
Austin landscaping is different from other cities because of three specific conditions that nothing else in the country combines: brutal 100-plus-degree summers that run June through September, soil that splits between caliche-over-limestone west of Mopac and heavy black clay east of it, and warm-season grasses (St. Augustine, Bermuda, Zoysia, and Buffalo) that all behave differently under Stage 2 watering restrictions. Get any one of those wrong and the yard browns out in two weeks.
Austin sits in the warm-season grass belt — not the transition zone, not the cool-season belt. St. Augustine dominates most established Travis County yards because it tolerates partial shade and grows fast, but it browns out under Stage 2 watering restrictions and gets eaten alive by chinch bugs in July. Bermuda handles drought but goes dormant straw-brown all winter. Zoysia bridges the gap and is gaining ground in newer developments. Buffalo grass and native sedges are quietly becoming the smart play on lots where the owner is tired of fighting summer water bills. Get the wrong crew running a 1.5-inch deck on St. Augustine in July and the yard scalps in two weeks.
Add the soil. Travis County east of Mopac is heavy black clay that holds water like a sponge then bakes into pottery by August. West of Mopac is thin caliche over limestone bedrock — barely six inches of soil before you hit rock. Neither responds to standard topsoil amendments. We work with what’s actually there: proper grading and drainage planning for the clay side, raised beds and drought-tolerant material for the limestone side, and Texas-native plants that survived 2011 and 2023 without irrigation.
And the weather extremes. The February 2021 freeze and the 2022-2023 drought cycle taught Austin homeowners what real climate stress looks like. Most landscapers cut corners on base prep for hardscape and skip proper root establishment on new plantings because they’re betting the next extreme event won’t hit on their watch. We build for the event, because we have to come back to fix our own work.
Austin lawn-care requests should identify turf area, grass type, obstacles, access, desired cadence, edging, trimming, and cleanup expectations. Provider staffing is not assumed.
One rate, agreed before we start. Mowing, string trimming, edging and blow-off are all inside the quoted price, and so is keeping the beds tidy on the visit. Nothing is added on the day, and nothing on your property turns out to be somebody else’s job once we are already standing on it.
Submit the Austin property and requested service for review. Availability, response timing, and scheduling require written confirmation.
A written, itemized quote before any work begins.
Most Austin landscaping companies bury the real number behind a layered quote. Before you sign with any of them, our roundup of the best landscaping companies in Austin shows how the top local crews actually compare. Base rate plus fuel surcharge plus per-visit add-ons plus seasonal premium plus the line items they spring on you mid-job. We don’t do that. Our quote is a flat number that covers everything we’ll do at your property — mowing, edging, trimming, blow-off, bed maintenance — for the season.
For mowing, most quarter-acre to half-acre Austin lots run $45 to $75 per visit on a weekly schedule. Larger Travis County properties and Round Rock-style estate lots run $75 to $140 depending on terrain and obstacles. We give you the number on the quote call. No upselling, no surprise charges.
Hardscape, design and irrigation work is quoted in writing, with materials, labour and a timeline set out separately so you can see what each part costs. Nothing is signed until you have the whole plan, and we do not ask for money to begin designing. We come to the consultation already knowing whether the lot sits on black clay or on caliche over limestone, because that decides most of what follows.
