Turn Your Barton Creek Backyard into a Place You Love to Spend Time In

Designer Patios, Outdoor Kitchens & Fire Features in Barton Creek

Barton Creek homeowners love their outdoor spaces as much as any in town. Your yard may back up to the greenbelt, sit on a wooded lot with crazy grade changes, or perch on a hill with a million dollar golf course view. We build outdoor living spaces that take advantage of your landscape — not fight against it. With high-quality materials, smart design, and classic craftsmanship, we create outdoor rooms that you'll enjoy through all seasons.

Barton Creek is an incredibly desirable part of Austin for many reasons. Homeowners here have big, heavily wooded lots with drastic grade changes. You'll find limestone shelf rock on many properties, as well as homes that back up to the Barton Creek Greenbelt. These are just a few of the challenges we navigate when building outdoor living spaces in Barton Creek. No matter your lot type or site conditions, we have experience working with them all.

Are you a party host extraordinaire? We'll design you an outdoor kitchen with all the fixings — built-in grill, prep countertop, beer fridge, and bar seating to entertain with style. Prefer a quiet retreat? Envision a flagstone patio under a bespoke pergola, outfitted with mood lighting and a built-in fire pit to warm up those chilly autumn nights. Whatever your dream backyard looks like, we can design and build it to suit your lifestyle, home, and lot.

We start every project with honest dialogue. Shawn will speak with each of our clients personally to learn about their objectives, budget, and timeline. You'll receive a comprehensive proposal outlining your project and honest costs. We pride ourselves on being upfront, so you don't get surprised later down the road.

Our Barton Creek Clients Count on Us

We have been servicing the West Austin landscape for over two decades, and Barton Creek is home to many of our most satisfying projects. Customers come back to Blazek Landscapes — and refer us to their neighbors — because we listen, are prompt and dependable, and guarantee our work years after the punch list is complete. Each referral and each review reinforces why we pride ourselves on exceeding expectations, and we pour that effort into every job we accept.

Shawn helped us create a plan and align it with our schedule. His crews arrived on time, worked hard, and completed the project as expected. He did everything he said he’d do, and I cannot ask for more than that. I recommend Shawn Blazek and would hire them again.

- Jack

A great experience with Shawn & his crews! We had them work in three different areas on our property: clearing sitting space under Oaks in three spots (one with slate stone path) , creating a bed along our front walkway, creating a dry creek in our garden area, and creating a long path in the back of our lot linking an existing walkway with a sitting area. We look forward to working with this landscape company again! They were professional, friendly and reasonably priced.

- Dan

Blazek Landscapes did an outstanding job with landscape design and building a Lueder stone patio in our backyard outdoor living area. Shawn was responsive, came by soon after we contacted them and spent time discussing options. I expected replacing a wood deck with stone would break the budget, but the price was better than I expected. Not too much more than bids to repair / replace wood, and now I don't have to ever worry about painting and maintaining the wood, a huge plus. The crew was friendly and professional, they worked hard and the work was precise. Everything was well planned. For the removal of the wood deck, a dumpster came in the morning and was full and gone by end of day, instead of sitting there for a long period. They also took care moving items, not breaking irrigation, keeping the work site clean. We're super happy with the project overall and would highly recommend them.

- Sean

Five stars all the way. Shawn Blazek knows what he's doing. We are exceedingly happy with the results!

Shawn Blazek and his crew are the best! Beautiful landscaping, easy to work with, communicates well. I highly recommend Blazek Landscapes.

- Kathy

I recently had the pleasure of working with Blazek Landscapes, and I can confidently say they deserve every bit of this five-star review! From my initial consultation to the completion of the project, the customer service was exceptional. Shawn recommended an array of beautifully arranged native plants. I love that my yard features plants that are drought-resistant and require less maintenance, making them both a practical and environmentally friendly choice! I am beyond satisfied with the results and highly recommend Blazek Landscapes.

Outdoor Living Features We Provide in Barton Creek

The process begins with an analysis of your lot and your ideas about how you want to use your outdoor space. From there, we build your dream patio using materials designed to withstand Austin’s brutal sun, UV rays, and heavy seasonal rainfall.

Patios and Pathways Whether you opt for natural flagstone that mirrors the surrounding Hill Country or sophisticated pavers to match your modern home, our patio and walkway designs are as functional as they are beautiful. Proper base preparation and grading is key for every project, particularly on Barton Creek’s sloped and rocky terrain.
Outdoor Kitchens Elevate your backyard by turning it into an entertainment destination with a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen. We’ll take care of all the foundation prep, plumbing, and gas lines needed to make your outdoor kitchen functional, even on uneven terrain.
Fire Features Extend your outdoor living season with a built-in fire pit or outdoor fireplace. We design fire features that integrate seamlessly with your space.
Privacy Plantings and Panels Privacy plants and fencing help define your space and give your backyard that “away from it all” feeling, whether you’re adjacent to a neighbor's fence or a community common area.
Outdoor Lighting A well thought-out outdoor lighting plan brightens up your yard for nighttime entertaining, increases visibility for safety, and allows you to enjoy your landscape at night. We design outdoor lighting systems that enhance your outdoor living spaces, rather than looking like they were added later.
Fencing. Whether you choose wood, metal, or a combination of materials, custom fencing can enhance the beauty and security of your property. We build sturdy fencing that complements your home.
Pergolas and Covered Patios Sun protection is a must in Central Texas. Pergolas and covered patios keep you cool and shaded, allowing you to enjoy your backyard even when the sun is blazing. We design these shade structures to enhance your home’s existing architecture and your lot’s natural beauty.
Retaining Walls Hilly lots and drainage can be problematic in Barton Creek. A retaining wall can fix those issues while adding balance and beauty to your landscape.
