Landscaping for Austin and Bastrop, Texas by Rock N Gardens full service landscape company

Landscaping in central Texas has unique challenges.
The soil in or around Austin is either rock or clay, and it
has a very alkaline Ph. Also the brutal Texas sun and
long periods of drought can take a toll on a garden.
Every once in a while the temperature in Austin can fall
below freezing killing sensitive vegetation. There are
several things a gardener can do to insure the success of
their garden.

A good garden needs good soil. There is no substitute.
A landscape that is installed with poor soil is guaranteed
to have problems throughout its life. Because soil is so
important Rock-n-Gardens uses only the highest quality
soils.

In addition plant life cannot survive without water. The
most foolish gardeners spend the bulk of their budget on
plants, and skimp by not installing an irrigation system.
Over watering can also cause sever problems like black
spot and other fungi. To make sure your garden is
properly watered irrigation that is effective, yet
conservative, will not only be best for your garden, but will
also save you time and money.

There is a plethora of plant species that will grow in
central Texas. The interesting part is learning where they
will grow, if they need sun or shade, how much water they
need, and if they are going to be eaten by deer. Our
landscape professionals have spent years learning the
plant pallet and experimenting with different applications.
