Common Landscaping Questions

How much does a typical landscaping project cost in Austin?

Projects vary widely based on scope. A front yard refresh might start around $2,500, while a full backyard transformation with hardscape can range from $15,000–$50,000+. We provide detailed, itemized estimates after your free consultation so there are no surprises.

Do you work with drought-tolerant and native Texas plants?

Absolutely — in fact, we strongly recommend them. Native and adapted plants require significantly less water and maintenance once established, saving you money and helping Austin's local ecosystem. We're experts in Central Texas native species.

How long does a landscaping installation take?

A typical residential project takes 1–3 weeks from start to completion, depending on size and complexity. We'll give you a detailed timeline during the design phase so you can plan accordingly.

Do you offer ongoing lawn and landscape maintenance?

Yes! We offer flexible monthly maintenance packages covering mowing, trimming, fertilization, seasonal color rotations, irrigation checks, and more. Many clients start with installation and then move to our care programs.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — GreenScape Austin holds all required Texas state licenses including a Licensed Irrigator certification. We carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation on every job.
