Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscaping cost in Austin?
As a planning range, lawn maintenance runs about $45 to $95 per visit, sod roughly $1.50 to $2.75 per square foot installed, a paver patio $14 to $30 per square foot, and a full design-and-install commonly $8,000 to $25,000+. These are regional estimates, not a quote — call (512) 690-4912 for a written number.
Why are Austin irrigation systems priced the way they are?
Austin Water enforces a set watering schedule, so systems are designed for deep, efficient cycles with proper zoning. A correctly sized install for a typical yard generally starts around $2,800 to $4,500.
Is a water-wise conversion cheaper than a traditional Austin lawn?
Up front a conversion runs about $6 to $16 per square foot, but it lowers ongoing water and maintenance costs and holds up better through Central Texas drought and watering restrictions.
