Every Outdoor job we do

Design, build and care for Austin yards — from a first planting plan on South Congress to the Friday mow that keeps it looking that way.

Ten services, one crew

We handle the whole yard so you are not chasing three different contractors. Pick one service or hand us the lot.

New landscape installation in an Austin backyard

Landscape design & installation

A drawn plan for the whole yard — beds, paths, grading and plant list — then our crew puts it in the ground.

Freshly mown residential lawn

Lawn maintenance

Mowing, edging, blowing and bed touch-ups on a set day each week, with the height raised through the August heat.

Planting a new flower bed

Garden design & planting

Salvia, blackfoot daisy, muhly grass — beds built around Texas natives that still look alive in late summer.

Pruning a shade tree

Tree & shrub care

Structural pruning for young live oaks, shaping for hedges, deep-root feeding and oak wilt-aware timing.

Irrigation sprinkler running on a lawn

Irrigation install & repair

New zones, head swaps, leak hunts and controller setup tuned to current Austin Water watering days.

Fresh mulch spread in a garden bed

Mulching & seasonal cleanup

Spring and fall resets: cut back, weed, edge the beds and lay fresh hardwood mulch three inches deep.

Flagstone patio seating area

Patio & outdoor living design

Flagstone and pavers, pergolas, built-in seating and fire features sized to how your family actually sits outside.

Landscape lighting along a garden path at dusk

Outdoor lighting

Low-voltage path, uplight and step fixtures on a timer, so the yard keeps working after the sun drops.

Rolls of new sod being laid

Sod installation

Grade, till and lay Palmetto St. Augustine or Zoysia, plus a two-week watering schedule you can actually follow.

Well-kept residential front yard

Residential landscape maintenance

One ongoing plan covering lawn, beds, trees and irrigation checks — for homeowners and property managers alike.

Outdoor living design

Most Austin backyards have one good shady corner and a lot of hot caliche. We start there: where the shade falls at 6pm, where the grill needs to be, how many chairs really get used.

Then we draw it — flagstone or paver patio, a cedar pergola, a limestone fire pit, seat walls and lighting — and build it with our own crew rather than subbing it out.

  • Scaled plan and material samples before anything is poured
  • Drainage sorted first — patios that shed water away from the slab
  • Planting and lighting finished together, not months later

Maintenance plans

A yard is only as good as the week after we leave. Our maintenance plans put the same two-person crew on your property on the same day, so they know which valve sticks and which bed the dog runs through.

Weekly service runs March through November, every other week over winter. Landlords and property managers get one invoice across multiple addresses and a photo after each visit.

  • Weekly mow, edge, trim and blow
  • Monthly bed weeding and shrub shaping
  • Seasonal cleanups, mulch refresh and fertilisation
  • Irrigation checked each visit, repairs quoted before work

Included on every visit

No line-item surprises. These come with any Blue Oak service, one-off or ongoing.

Clippings hauled

Every bag of trimmings leaves with us — nothing stacked by the alley.

Irrigation check

Heads and zones eyeballed each visit so leaks are caught early.

Heat adjustments

Mow height and watering advice change with the Texas season.

Plant health notes

We flag struggling trees or shrubs before they become a removal.
