You’ve probably seen the term BTU on the label when shopping for an air conditioning unit. But what do these three letters mean? And should you pay any attention to them?
Landscaping & Landscape Design in Austin, TX
Adding plants and hardscaping to your outdoor areas can increase your home’s value, encourage you to spend quality time outdoors and even lower your utility bills. Knowing you want a beautiful and functional yard and making it happen, however, are two entirely different things. When it comes to landscaping, Austin homeowners trust the pros at ABC Home & Commercial Services to create yards that reflect their unique style and preferences.
ABC can turn your vision for your outdoor spaces into a reality. Our designers take on any sized landscaping project, including:
- Adding ornamental, native or edible plants
- Giving depth to your yard by enhancing the existing terrain with raised beds, terracing, trees and shrubs
- Creating defined spaces by adding fencing, patios, decks, water features and other structures
- Enhancing your landscape with masonry projects, including driveways and walkways with pavers, outdoor kitchens, garden walls and firepits and outdoor fireplaces
- Putting in outdoor lighting to highlight your yard’s natural beauty and make your home safer
- Substituting existing plants with lower-maintenance, native varieties that attract birds and butterflies
- Solving drainage problems in your yard
- Replacing water-hungry grass with paths, walkways or stepping stones
- Creating more shady spots in your yard by installing awnings and natural elements
- Installing features to mask outdoor noise
- Performing seasonal maintenance to replace dead or dying plants and brighten up your outdoor areas
The ABC Process
1. Contact ABC
We’ll learn what you need over the phone or during an in-person meeting at your home. Usually, we can schedule an appointment in a few business days.
2. Get An Estimate
We’ll provide you with an estimate based on your goals and our recommended set of services. Once we get your approval, we will get you on the schedule.
3. Service
Our trained specialists perform all agreed-upon services. When we’re done, we will clean up any debris to keep your yard neat and looking great.
4. Follow-Up
Depending on what services we performed on your property, we’ll provide you with an update or recommend additional follow-up or ongoing services.
Our experienced landscape professionals will create a design that reflects your personal style. You might prefer a Mediterranean look that matches your home’s exterior. A Japanese style can provide you with a peaceful escape from your day-to-day stresses. Some gardeners prefer the cottage style with sprawling herb gardens.
Our hot and dry climate encourages some homeowners to adopt a Southwestern style that evokes the landscape in New Mexico and Arizona. Still others gravitate towards a more tropical landscape with thick foliage and bright colors. ABC also creates more formal, traditional outdoor spaces for homeowners. We can also incorporate xeriscaping into your landscape to minimize your water use and cut down on maintenance.
Our designers can present different options to you so that you can choose what works best for your property and your preferences.

We can turn your vision for your yard into reality.
Our customers say they choose ABC for landscaping for the same reasons they use our company for their other home services: we provide superior customer service, we offer free estimates, we provide extensive in-house training and we conduct thorough background checks and drug testing on all our employees.
Our landscape design team has decades of experience exceeding the expectations of customers here in the greater Austin area. ABC is a certified Belgard installer and can provide our customers with special financing for these hardscaping projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free landscaping consultations?
Yes! No two landscaping projects are the same, so when you contact ABC, we’ll schedule a time that works with your schedule to have an ABC landscape designer come to your home. At that time, our designer will learn more about exactly what you want to be done and your budget.
After answering any questions you might have about the process, ABC will present you with a proposal to outline the scope of the project. After you approve the estimate, our designer will direct the project, from start to finish.
Can you incorporate a pergola or similar structural element into my landscape design?
Absolutely! If you’d like to create a centerpiece in your yard or simply separate distinct areas, we can suggest different options to you and incorporate features that you prefer.
Do you include water-wise and drought resistant plants in your designs?
ABC believes strongly in balancing aesthetics with sound environmental practices. Our designers have extensive experience in implementing designs which include succulents, low-water usage plants, rock, stone and even artificial turf to reduce your water usage and maintenance requirements, if that’s your goal.
Can you implement my landscape design in stages?
Landscaping can do wonders for your curb appeal. That said, we understand that budget constraints can prevent you from implementing your entire proposal at one time. That’s why we are happy to work with homeowners to implement a design in stages so that your investment is spread out over time.
Can you do landscaping work while I’m not at home?
We understand that homeowners are busy. That’s why make the most of our free, in-person consultation to gather all the information we need to execute on your landscaping vision. Once we have presented you with our recommendations and you have had a chance to approve the scope of work, our landscaping team can return and perform the work while you are away at work.
We simply ask that you provide us with any information we need to access your outdoor areas and that you keep pets and children indoors for their safety so we can do our work.

What Our Customers Are Saying
David Scheinfeld

“Excellent rodent control services! We have had ABC for over 15 years, and they did a top notch job of getting rid of a rat in our interior wall. William F. Was our service provider, highly recommend him as he was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and great communicator. Their customer service was also very friendly. While ABC has turned into a very large company, they still feel like a small company in terms of their quality and friendliness, which is great.”
