“We design outdoor environments as cohesive, living systems. Every stone we lay and every native species we place is selected for its longevity, structural integrity, and natural beauty.”
: J Zambo, Lawn & Tree Division Manager at ABC
Under the leadership of J Zambo, a Rutgers University Turfgrass Management alumnus who directed exterior horticulture for world-class Las Vegas resorts like the Wynn and Encore, and General Manager Juan Benitez, our team of skilled craftsmen and designers handles every phase of your transformation. From initial conceptual sketch to final masonry detail, we do not utilize low-cost subcontractors. Your property is cared for exclusively by our highly trained, dedicated team.
Our Signature Design & Installation Capabilities
We specialize in creating sophisticated, climate-resilient landscapes tailored to the unique soils, microclimates, and topography of Central Texas.
- Architectural Hardscaping & Masonry: We design and build structural elements that expand your outdoor living spaces. Using premium Oklahoma flagstone, native Texas limestone, and hand-selected river gravel, our skilled stonemasons craft elegant patios, terraced retaining walls, stone walkways, and custom outdoor fire pits built to endure.
- Climate-Resilient Xeriscaping: We design water-wise, low-maintenance landscapes that thrive in our intense Central Texas heat. By selecting native and adapted species, we create lush, colorful gardens that conserve water while adding dramatic curb appeal.
- Shade-Optimized Under-Canopy Gardens: Austin’s legacy oak trees often leave bare dirt beneath their branches due to lack of sunlight. Our designers select shade-tolerant native groundcovers, delicate ferns, and adapted understory plants to turn these barren areas into lush, thriving shade gardens.
- Tree-Safe Grading & Excavation: Hardscape construction near mature trees can cause severe, unseen damage to root systems. Led by J Zambo, an ISA Certified Arborist, we utilize advanced tree protection and rescue techniques, ensuring your home’s greatest natural assets are preserved and protected throughout the construction process.
Our Premium Standards & Process
Our reputation is built on using superior materials, employing experienced craftsmen, and maintaining transparent communication throughout your project.
- The “Right Plant, Right Place” Philosophy: General Manager Juan Benitez oversees our plant selections, ensuring every tree, shrub, and groundcover is positioned in its ideal soil, sunlight, and moisture conditions. This attention to detail guarantees long-term health and growth.
- Soil and Drainage Engineering: A beautiful landscape begins below the surface. We enrich all planting beds with premium organic compost, install custom-mixed soils, and implement advanced drip irrigation and French drainage systems to prevent erosion and standing water.
- Uncompromising Craftsmanship: Our in-house stone and landscape teams execute every detail with pride and precision, using clean mortar lines, perfectly leveled flagstone, and expertly pruned plant material.
- Our No Surprise Guarantee: We believe in honest, transparent partnerships. We provide a comprehensive quote for your landscape installation, including all materials, labor, and soil amendments before any work begins. We do not use hidden fees or unexpected surcharges. If any change to the original quote is needed we’ll always present a change order for approval before incurring any additional expense.

Landscape Design & Craftsmanship FAQ
To help you plan your next outdoor project, Lawn & Tree Division Manager J Zambo and General Manager Juan Benitez address common questions about professional landscape design in Central Texas:
Standard landscaping often relies on water-intensive turfgrasses and imported plant species that struggle in our local climate. Xeriscaping is a professional design approach that utilizes native and adapted plants, organic mulches, and efficient drip irrigation. This method reduces water use by up to 60% while creating a colorful, drought-tolerant environment that flourishes in our warm summers.
Many general contractors damage tree root systems during excavation, which can slowly kill a mature oak tree over several years. At ABC, our division is led by J Zambo, an ISA Certified Arborist. We utilize non-invasive excavation techniques, root-barrier protection, and customized tree-safe layouts to ensure your legacy trees are fully protected and preserved.
No. To maintain our high standards of quality and craftsmanship, all masonry, soil preparation, and planting are completed by full-time, highly trained ABC employees. This allows us to guarantee the quality of our materials and workmanship on every project.
