Lakeway Landscaping

Landscaping the Lake Travis Hill Country

Lakeway sits in the hills along the southern shore of Lake Travis in western Travis County, an affluent community of custom homes on steep, wooded, rocky lots. The terrain is genuinely challenging, sharp slopes, thin caliche over limestone, and big live oaks and cedar elms, and homeowners here value landscapes that work with the dramatic Hill Country setting rather than flatten it. That combination of slope, thin soil, and design-conscious owners defines our Lakeway work.

Water is finite in this country, and the lake-and-limestone setting makes water-wise, erosion-aware landscaping the smart default.

Slopes, Terracing, and Erosion Control

Lakeway’s steep lots shed water fast, and bare slopes erode quickly on thin soil. We stabilize and shape hillsides with terracing, retaining walls, and deep-rooted native plantings that hold the ground, and we manage runoff so it does not scour beds, undercut hardscape, or carry sediment toward the lake. On lakeside lots, careful grading and planting protect both the property and the water.

Xeriscape, Oaks, and Natural Stone

On Lakeway’s rocky lots, native and xeriscape plantings, Texas sage, salvia, agave, ornamental grasses, thrive on little water and suit the Hill Country, with practical turf kept to usable areas. The mature live oaks are an asset we protect, pruning only in the oak-wilt-safe season, never February through June. For hardscape we build patios, terraces, and walls in natural limestone that belongs to the landscape, and we design irrigation around Central Texas watering restrictions with efficient drip and weather-based control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you handle the steep slopes on my Lakeway lot?

Yes, it is core to our Lakeway work. We stabilize hillsides with terracing, retaining walls, and deep-rooted native plantings, and manage runoff so it does not erode beds, undercut hardscape, or carry sediment toward the lake.

Do you specialize in xeriscape and native landscaping?

Yes. On Lakeway’s rocky, thin-soil lots we design with natives like Texas sage, salvia, and agave that thrive on little water and suit the Hill Country, keeping practical turf only where it is used.

How do you protect the live oaks?

We prune the mature live oaks only in the oak-wilt-safe season, never February through June, and paint fresh cuts, treating the canopy as a centerpiece of the Lakeway landscape.

Can you build with natural stone on a hillside?

Yes. We build patios, terraces, and retaining walls in natural limestone, engineered for steep, rocky ground, so they hold up and look native to the Lake Travis setting.
