What Texas Homeowners Are Saying
“
Landscape Theory completed a project on our property last summer! They designed and installed a backyard oasis, complete with native plants and a dry creek bed that runs through our yard, solving a drainage issue that had previously turned our backyard into a mud pit! They also come by seasonally for maintenance of our landscape! They are great!”
— Johanna, Austin

We are so happy with the work Landscape Theory did to bring our vision of ‘Texas meets Tuscany’ to life.The end result is absolutely stunning—our yard has become the talk of friends and family, who are always complimenting its beauty and unique style. We love spending time in the space they created for us.”

“
We have completed several projects with Landscape Theory over the last couple of years and highly highly recommend them to anyone planning a landscape or hardscape project. The designer and project managers are always available for questions and problem solving. We now have a beautiful space to enjoy and it has really changed how we use our yard. So glad we found Landscape Theory, we'll continue to work with them for smaller enhancements until we run out of square feet :)”

“
We contacted the Studio after seeing one of their garden designs in the Central Texas Gardener TV show. During the initial site visit, staff made numerous suggestions for hearty, native plants to add variety and to enhance our existing landscape. Within days, plans arrived with proposed plant photos, locations and numbers required. Prior to installation, another site visit allowed for review and alterations to the original plans. Project management and implementation were smooth, timely and efficient strengthened by a professional, hard-working, affable crew producing beautiful results. We highly recommend Landscape Theory Design Studio."
