Introduction

We help you reclaim your outdoor space, making your vision become reality. We transform urban back yards into beautiful, practical, enjoyable spaces. Whether your objective is to entertain, play, grow food or just look at, we design and deliver landscaping solutions that fit your goals.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I price materials, labor, my time and some operations costs.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I will typically schedule a visit to the customer’s location. Will listen to their request, discuss a few options to see what they prefer. I will provide relevant information about what we could do and how we would do it. Then, I write a proposal with photos, descriptions and itemized quote. When we reach an agreement on what to do and costs, I send an invoice. I ask for 40% before the start and 60% upon completion. Once we start the project, I like to put as many resources as possible until the project is completed and the customer is satisfied.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I used to work in tech. So I don’t really have a formal training in landscaping. I learn from others and from experience.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I used to do some landscaping when I was in France. I learnt how to do decks, masonry, lighting here.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I work all around Austin and Lakeway, Round Rock. I help people who finally decide to change their yard, others who just moved into a new house, and yet others who want to sell their home.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We had to do a few things for a client just moving in a new home. Fence, plants, concrete work, xeriscaping, masonry work and low voltage LED lighting. It took about a month to complete. It would be much faster now that we have a larger team.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Be clear with your objectives and challenge the provider to make it happen within your constrains. They might find a solution you had not thought about.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

A project has better chance of success if the customer has a good idea of the kind of result he/she expects. What are the objectives?
