Local Expertise
Central Texas throws 100°-plus summers, roughly 35.5 inches of rain crammed into May, June, and October, drought-stage watering limits, and shrink-swell Blackland clay at your yard. We design around those realities instead of fighting them.
We program every controller for the city's designated watering days and the before-10 a.m./after-7 p.m. windows, then dial it back for the current drought stage.
Central Texas is Flash Flood Alley, with rain concentrated in May, June, and October. We grade, add French drains, and route runoff so storms leave your yard, not your foundation.
Expansive Blackland clay and shallow Hill Country limestone shape every install — flex connections, proper trenching, drip irrigation, mulch, and reduced turf where spray is wasted.
We favor fall and cooler-spring planting — mid-August is a poor establishment window — and flag when new landscaping over 25% of the yard may need a city watering variance.
We build to current local rules and recognized standards. Verify the latest guidance with City of Round Rock Water Services, TCEQ irrigation licensing, EPA WaterSense, and Williamson County AgriLife Extension.
Make the Right Call
There's no single 'best' choice — only the best fit for your light, soil, water goals, and budget. Here's how the most common Round Rock options compare (planning ranges, not quotes).
| Option | Typical Planning Range | Water Demand | Upkeep | Best For Round Rock Yards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heat-Hardy Sod | ~$1.26 / sq ft + prep | Moderate–high while establishing | Mowing + irrigation | Sunny, usable lawns with corrected grade (Zoysia, Bermuda, St. Augustine) |
| Native & Drought-Tolerant | Front-yard beds ~$1,500–$5,000 | Low once established | Seasonal pruning + mulch | Hot, shady, or rocky spots; lower water bills; xeriscaping goals |
| French Drain & Drainage | ~$3,100 typical | N/A — moves water | Inspect outlets & grates | Standing water, mud, erosion, protecting the slab |
| Flagstone / Paver Patio | Project-based estimate | None | Occasional joint upkeep | Outdoor living & walkways on a stable, drained base |
| Limestone Retaining Wall | Project-based estimate | N/A | Minimal | Terracing slopes, stopping erosion, reclaiming usable yard |
Figures are researched planning ranges for context only — your written estimate depends on square footage, grading, soil prep, materials, and access.
Why Oakwood
Anyone can dig a trench or nail up a picket. We build systems that survive the shrink-swell clay, the drought stages, and the storms — and back it with real licensing.
Irrigation and backflow work performed under a TCEQ Licensed Irrigator — code-compliant and inspection-ready every time.
We engineer for Blackland clay and Hill Country limestone — flex connections, steel posts, and drainage that actually lasts.
Owned by Emmanuel Heredia Sanchez and rooted in Round Rock. You get an accountable local pro, not a national call center.
Irrigation, drainage, fencing, sod, and stonework under one roof — coordinated correctly instead of five separate subs.
Burst pipes, flash-flood drainage, storm-collapsed fences, and freeze damage — we respond fast when it counts.
Clear scope, real materials, and no fake online prices. You know exactly what you're getting before we start.
No Surprises
Most Round Rock competitors won't publish a single number. We share real planning ranges up front, then back them with a written, line-item estimate and a process you can follow start to finish.
Planning ranges only — never a quote. Ask for three written estimates and compare them line by line, not just on the bottom line.
Every written estimate spells out:
We walk the property — turf, soil, grade, drainage, sun, and irrigation — before recommending anything.
A clear, itemized estimate with materials, quantities, and a realistic range — not a preset package.
We handle HOA submittals, permits, tree rules, and utility locates so nothing stalls the build.
Code-compliant installation, a final walkthrough, and clear establishment and maintenance guidance.

Common Questions
Oakwood Landscaping provides sprinkler and irrigation installation, French drains and yard drainage, cedar privacy fencing, flagstone patios and limestone masonry, heat-hardy sod, limestone retaining walls, cedar pergolas and decks, smart Wi-Fi controller retrofits, TCEQ backflow testing, native drought-tolerant landscaping, and 24/7 emergency response for burst pipes, flooding, storm fence damage, and freezes.
Yes. We are a BBB Accredited business, licensed and insured, and our irrigation work is performed under a TCEQ Licensed Irrigator, so every sprinkler and backflow installation is code-compliant and inspection-ready.
It depends on scope. As researched local planning ranges, basic lawn maintenance often runs $50–$150 per week, front-yard projects $1,500–$5,000, and full backyard redesigns $5,000–$25,000. We provide a written, itemized estimate after seeing your property — no guesswork.
Always. We program every controller to the city's designated watering days and the before-10-a.m./after-7-p.m. windows and adjust to the current drought stage. Smart Wi-Fi controllers handle this automatically and may qualify for a city rebate.
Round Rock's expansive Blackland clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement cracks foundations, tilts fence posts, and breaks rigid irrigation lines. We build with flex connections, galvanized steel posts, engineered drainage, and properly based hardscape to withstand it.
Fall and cooler spring are ideal because establishment stress is lower. Local guidance flags mid-August as a poor window due to heat. Hot-weather installs are possible but need a strict watering and monitoring plan, which we build into the project.
Possibly. Round Rock guidance indicates a temporary watering variance may be required when more than 25% of the yard is newly sodded or landscaped, so new plants can be watered outside normal drought-stage limits while they establish. We help you confirm the current requirement and process with Round Rock Water Services before installation.
Many Central Texas neighborhoods require Architectural Review Committee approval for fencing, turf replacement, gravel, hardscaping, drainage, or tree work. We build to your HOA's specifications and can prepare the documentation the committee needs so approval doesn't stall your project.
Start with the cause. We inspect irrigation coverage, shade, soil, grade, and drainage first — because installing new sod over an unsolved problem just fails again. A localized issue may only need a repair; a sunny, well-prepped area suits fresh sod; and hot, shady, or rocky spots often do better with native, drought-tolerant beds.
Texas requires a licensed irrigator to sell, design, install, maintain, repair, or inspect landscape irrigation systems. Ask for the responsible irrigator's exact TCEQ license number and verify it directly with the TCEQ. EPA WaterSense is an added water-efficiency credential, not a substitute for the required state license.
Yes. We respond to burst sprinkler pipes, flash-flood drainage emergencies, storm-collapsed fences, failing retaining walls, and winter freeze damage. If water is running, shut off your irrigation isolation valve or the meter and call (323) 606-0255.
We are based in Round Rock and serve Williamson and Travis counties and the greater Central Texas region — including Pflugerville, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Hutto, Leander, Austin, and dozens more communities. See our Service Areas page for the full list.
