Beyond the Green: Transforming Your Outdoor Space With Stone, Light, and Turf
When people think of landscaping, they often picture flower beds, green grass, and leafy trees. But the most transformative outdoor spaces are about more than just plants—they combine hardscaping, lighting, and low-maintenance solutions to create outdoor living environments that are as beautiful as they are functional. At Luxe Landscape Design, we help homeowners in Austin and the surrounding areas unlock the full potential of their yards by going beyond the green.
From stone patios and outdoor kitchens to ambient lighting and artificial turf, these features are the foundation of a modern, livable landscape. If you’re ready to elevate your backyard into a year-round oasis, here’s how our design and installation team at Luxe Landscape Design can make it happen.
Creating Structure and Style With Hardscaping
Hardscaping brings form and function to outdoor design. It’s the element that transforms a simple yard into a stunning outdoor room—one that’s built to entertain, relax, and impress. Luxe Landscape Design specializes in crafting hardscapes that suit your lifestyle and enhance your property’s natural beauty.
Popular hardscape features include:
Stone patios for dining or lounging
Outdoor kitchens equipped with grills, sinks, and prep areas
Fire pits or fireplaces for warmth and gathering
Walkways and stepping stones to guide foot traffic
Retaining walls that contour sloped yards and add interest
Each of these features is customized to fit the look and layout of your space. Whether you lean toward rustic Texas limestone or a sleek modern paver, our team works with you to select the right materials, shapes, and finishes to match your style and goals.
Our designs prioritize both beauty and usability. We ensure every element—from drainage under the patio to the height of your fire pit—is crafted for comfort, safety, and longevity. And with expert masonry crews on staff, Luxe Landscape Design handles installation with precision and care.
Lighting: The Finishing Touch for Beauty and Security
As the sun sets, the right lighting can turn your backyard into a magical retreat. Lighting isn’t just a practical necessity—it’s one of the most impactful ways to elevate the mood, atmosphere, and safety of your outdoor environment.
At Luxe Landscape Design, we design and install lighting systems that are elegant, energy-efficient, and customized to your space. Our lighting plans often include:
Path lights to guide your guests safely through your landscape
Uplighting to showcase trees, architecture, or statement plants
Bistro string lights for soft ambiance over patios and dining areas
Spotlights to illuminate outdoor kitchens or entertainment spaces
Motion-sensor lighting for enhanced security near doors or gates
Our lighting installations use long-lasting LED fixtures built to withstand Texas weather, meaning your space remains functional and safe even during rain, heat, or wind. Lighting also helps extend the usability of your outdoor space, making it perfect for nighttime entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors.
Most importantly, lighting creates a sense of intention. It highlights your landscape’s best features and gives structure to your space, even after dark.
Why Homeowners Are Choosing Artificial Turf in Central Texas
Maintaining a lush green lawn in Texas can be a full-time job—and an expensive one. Between watering restrictions, unpredictable weather, and high heat, it’s no surprise that many homeowners are turning to artificial turf as a smart, sustainable alternative.
Luxe Landscape Design installs premium artificial turf that looks and feels natural, without the upkeep or water demands of traditional grass. Whether you're creating a play area for kids, a clean space for pets, or a sleek lawn for curb appeal, artificial turf offers a range of benefits:
Stays green year-round, regardless of weather
Requires no mowing, fertilizing, or irrigation
Reduces mud and mess after rain
Pet-friendly and allergen-free
Durable enough for foot traffic and outdoor activities
Saves money on water bills and lawn maintenance
In addition to standard lawn replacement, Luxe Landscape Design also offers custom turf solutions like backyard putting greens, rooftop installations, and low-maintenance ground covers for tight spaces. We prepare every site carefully to ensure proper drainage, a smooth surface, and long-term durability.
Artificial turf is especially effective in high-traffic zones, shaded areas where grass won’t grow, or spots where erosion is a concern. And with today’s turf technology, your neighbors might not even know it’s synthetic.
