CLARKSVILLE

• Location- Clarksville neighborhood in Austin, Texas
• Architect- Open Envelope Studio
• Builder- Praetorian Landscaping

For this Clarksville backyard transformation, our team was brought in to build out the landscape alongside the pool builder. By coordinating our work in real time with the pool installation, we were able to streamline the timeline and eliminate the usual delays that come from staging landscaping after the pool is completed. This collaborative approach helped bring the entire project together more efficiently—and with a cohesive final look.

Our scope started with full site demo and grading to prepare for new construction. We installed steel retaining walls to level out the natural slope of the yard, creating a usable and comfortable outdoor space. Our team also handled all irrigation work on-site, ensuring smart water coverage for new plantings and turf.

The landscape design included carefully selected plants and trees that complement the modern layout and add privacy and softness around the hardscape. The project was finished off with a lush zoysia lawn, offering a durable, pet-friendly surface for the homeowners and their dogs to enjoy.

This project is a great example of how early collaboration with other trades leads to better outcomes—on both the timeline and the final result.
