Featured Reviews for Garden Designers in Austin

Eden Garden Design
Garden Designers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 14, 2015
“Eden has been a partner in several projects where arborist and tree care services were needed to complete their design. The professionalism and quality of their work is exceptional. As an arborist, i always am respectful of designers that put the trees upfront in their process. I personally was particularly impressed with their capacity to merge the clients needs with the functions and plant palette and come out with a project that works and has character. Very few firms seem to be able to achieve this. Try them!”

Thrive Landscape And Design
Garden Designers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 31, 2022
“I used Thrive to design a total redo of my front and back yard. I wanted to respect the fact we live in a water challenged area without my yard being simply all rock. Travis listened to all of my wishes including providing more seating area, color, privacy, some of my favorite plant material and the attracting of hummingbirds. Travis was responsive by phone and e mail and the design work was completed on time. I have had many compliments on my new landscape from friends and neighbors out for walks. And, most importantly, I am thoroughly enjoying my new yard.”
Structure Landscapes
Garden Designers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 8, 2014
“Hi Sam, We were wondering if you could stop by sometime soon and let us know what you would suggest for our front lawn. We should have used Structure Landscapes from the beginning and have regretted our decision! The other company might have been cheaper, but you get what you pay for!! We are trying to sell this house and build another one in the area, but when people see the front lawn it looks horrible It may just need to put in another bed to get rid of the rocky areas that won't grow, or maybe the sprinkler heads are just not adjusted correctly. Either way we would like to know what you suggest. Let us know when you can stop by. Thanks, Linda and John”

“One of the best experiences ever! Kim and Meredith listened to what we wanted, came back with a design and plan within our budget and were wonderful to work with. They took care of all the details and the subs that came to our home were all professional and talented.

LUSH GreenScape Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 18, 2017
“Lush rocks. After having the business done we were so pleased we had our home done also. We have people knocking on on our door all the time wanting info on our landscape that Ryan designed. Working with Ryan was amazing. He had so many ideas but also included our vision in the final project. I recommend Lush Design to anyone who wants a no maintenance, good looking, original, yard to get to it and give Ryan a call.”

Greenbelt Patio & Landscape
Garden Designers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 17, 2014
“Greenbelt Design Elements (GDE) was engaged to design a landscape for our new home in Sun City Texas. Design features requested were plant materials, hardscape elements, Belgard pavers for the 800+ square foot patio, two water features and various stone varieties for ground covers throughout the project. Jason Skaggs met with us at our home and listened to our wishes and wants. During our initial meeting Jason offered guidance and options as we jointly developed a concept. Our concept was unique to the area as we wanted a more contemporary focus to our xeriscape. The final design was presented and incorporated not only our initial wants list but numerous enhancements to the initial concept. Our project is now complete and we are amazed at the transformation. All of our expectations were easily exceeded. GDE is clearly a very competent design firm that is quite capable of creating a design that meets even the most complicated/unique elements. We highly recommend Jason Scaggs and his firm Greenbelt Design Elements.”
Waterloo Outdoor Design Build
Garden Designers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 2, 2019
“Marion and her crew were absolutely fantastic. Marion designed an extremely low maintenance landscaping plan and beautiful deck that we now practically live on. She really listened to what we wanted and came up with a great plan for us. The best part was that she didn't try to up sell us or overdo it in her design. She kept things simple and beautiful. The team was amazing and got the entire deck and landscaping done in a week, even working right after a hurricane! I highly recommend Waterloo. We couldn't be happier.”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration varies based on the projectʼs complexity and size. A small to medium-sized garden might take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, from initial consultation to completed installation. Larger projects, especially those requiring significant structural changes, could take several months. A detailed timeline should be discussed with your garden designer early in the process.
Garden Designers select materials based on the siteʼs conditions, the projectʼs budget, and aesthetic goals. They consider the sustainability, durability, and maintenance requirements of materials. Staying informed about the latest trends through professional development courses, industry publications, and networking with peers ensures that designers can offer contemporary and innovative designs that still meet the timeless principles of garden design.
Homeowners should identify their needs, preferences, and budgets before consulting with a garden designer. Collecting inspirational images or creating a mood board can help convey your vision. Additionally, understanding your gardenʼs conditions, such as soil type and sun exposure, and having an idea of desired plants or features, prepares you for a more productive initial consultation.
Common challenges, like poor soil, limited space, or awkward layouts, are addressed through innovative solutions. Designers might amend the soil, introduce raised beds for better drainage, utilize vertical planting for small spaces, or create focal points to distract from less appealing areas. Their expertise allows for creative problem-solving that blends functionality with beauty.
Yes, Garden Designers often implement sustainability practices such as selecting native plants that require less water and are more resistant to pests, implementing rainwater harvesting systems, using permeable paving materials to improve water absorption, and employing organic gardening practices. These approaches contribute to creating environmentally responsible gardens that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Garden Designers can certainly work with existing landscapes to enhance or completely transform them. This can involve redefining spaces, introducing new plant species, and incorporating new features while retaining elements that work well. Working with an existing garden often requires a keen eye for potential and creativity to integrate the new with the old seamlessly.
