Landscaper serving Round Rock, TX

Round Rock sits slightly more exposed than Austin or Pflugerville, with less tree canopy coverage in many neighborhoods and full sun exposure that intensifies summer heat stress on lawns and plants. When temperatures hit triple digits for weeks at a time, grass can go dormant or die completely without proper watering. Many properties struggle with brown patches, especially in western-facing yards that bake in afternoon sun. This heat exposure also affects plant selections, as many popular landscape plants simply cannot handle the intense conditions that Round Rock properties face.

We design landscapes specifically for these heat conditions, selecting drought-tolerant native plants that thrive rather than merely survive in full sun exposure. Buffalo grass and Bermuda grass varieties handle heat better than St. Augustine in these situations. Strategic mulch applications in beds help retain moisture and protect plant roots from temperature extremes. We also install and maintain irrigation systems that deliver water efficiently during allowed watering times, maximizing every drop to keep your landscape healthy through the challenging summer months. Understanding how to work with Round Rock's climate rather than fighting it makes the difference between landscapes that struggle constantly and those that look great year-round with reasonable maintenance.

The older neighborhoods near downtown Round Rock have a completely different character than the newer master-planned communities. These established properties feature mature trees, larger lots, and more varied terrain. Many homes sit on properties that were once farmland or ranchettes, with existing features like stone walls, old fences, and mature landscaping that homeowners want to preserve while updating other areas. The soil quality varies significantly from lot to lot, and drainage patterns often reflect decades-old grading that may not meet current needs.

We love working in Old Town Round Rock because every property presents unique opportunities and challenges. These lots often have room for significant improvements like custom patios and outdoor living spaces that newer, smaller lots cannot accommodate. Mature trees provide incredible shade but require expert trimming and care to remain healthy and safe. Many of these properties benefit from updated irrigation systems that replace old, inefficient setups. Our approach in these neighborhoods focuses on respecting the established character while bringing modern functionality and efficiency to landscapes that have been in place for generations. We understand the balance between preservation and improvement that makes these historic Round Rock properties special.
