Blue Oak Landscaping & Outdoor Living helps Austin homeowners create and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces — landscape design, lawn care, garden planting and patios built for Central Texas heat, clay soil and long evenings spent outside.
Native Texas plantsWater-wise designBlue Oak began with a caliche-hard backyard a few blocks from the shop — too much tired St. Augustine, no shade, and a family who wanted somewhere to eat dinner outside in July. We pulled the turf, planted a live oak understory, ran drip to every bed and set a small limestone patio.
That yard still looks good, because we still tend it. Everything we do now is the same idea at a bigger scale: plants chosen for Central Texas rather than a catalogue, irrigation that doesn't waste water, and a crew who comes back season after seasons.
— The Blue Oak crew, Austin, Texas
Four steps, no mystery. You'll always know what's happening in your yard and who is showing up.
We walk the property with you, read the sun and drainage, and leave a written estimate — free, no pressure.
A planting plan with real species names, bed shapes, hardscape lines, and where the drip and lighting will run.
Beds cut, soil amended, sod laid, patio set. Our own crew — the same faces from first day to final cleanup.
Mowing, pruning, mulch, seasonal cleanup and irrigation checks so year three looks better than year one.
Design, build and upkeep for homes and small residential communities across Austin, from Travis Heights to Circle C.
Landscape design & installationFull-yard plans, bed shaping, soil prep and planting with natives and adapted species that survive an Austin August.
Lawn maintenanceWeekly or biweekly mowing, edging, blowing and bed weeding on a schedule you can set your watch by.
Patios & outdoor livingLimestone and flagstone patios, seat walls, fire pits and shade structures built around how your family sits outside.
Irrigation & sodNew systems, repairs, drip conversions and fresh sod — set to Austin watering days so nothing runs down the curb.
Tree & shrub careStructural pruning, deep-root feeding and oak-wilt-aware timing for live oaks, red oaks and crape myrtles.
Outdoor lightingLow-voltage path lights, uplighting and patio fixtures that keep the yard usable long after the sun drops.
A yard is finished the day the crew drives off, and then it starts changing. We stay with it: hardwood mulch refreshed in spring, perennials cut back after the first freeze, irrigation audited before summer, and turf fed on a Central Texas calendar rather than a bag label.
Homeowners, landlords and property managers all use the same plans — you pick the visit rhythm, we send the same crew and a short note after every service telling you what we did and what we're watching.

Seasonal cleanupMulch twice a year“They turned a patch of dead St. Augustine into the part of the house we actually use.”
Marisol R. · Bouldin Creek
Our irrigation had been leaking for two summers. Blue Oak found it in an hour, converted the beds to drip, and the water bill dropped by a third.
Dev P. · Circle C Ranch
The same two guys every Thursday for three years. The beds have never looked better and I've never had to chase anyone for a schedule.
Karen L. · Allandale
I manage six rental homes in South Austin. One point of contact, one invoice, and the tenants stopped calling me about the yards.
