Good morning Austin. or is it? It’s 10:12 in the morning and after watching the news, sloshing your way to work, seeing the stories of all the families displaced in Louisana from the rains and flooding which are now affecting us it’s hard not to think about how they will change things here this time.

One of the great assets of the Central Texas is our varied elevations that give us views independent of each others widows, give us creeks and streams of flow and beauty beyond compare. However, it’s also tough to manage flash flood waters at times and the damage it causes eroding land and structures is costly on so many levels.

Retaining walls have been one of our stong suits for almost two decades.  We are experts at both engineered and non depending on the slope and lay of the property.  We only build quality. We will pass on projects that will not stand the test of time. It’s simply not something we choose to put the Anderson name on.

We primarily utilize large native block that is quarried here in Central Texas for one reason.  It’s here for a reason.  It belongs here.  It stands the test of time here. It’s acclimated to the climate and will not crack, crumble or separate as quickly with our humidity to drought climate like other import stones, woods or artifical products will.  We will and have built concrete retaining walls with beautiful stucco finishes to compliment custom home designs that will also stand the test of time longer than railroad tie retaining walls, which we do not contruct at all.

Obviously life is full of choices and we are glad you are our neighbors here in Central Texas. We hope you stay safe and dry over the next 3 days of anticipated potential flash flooding.  We hope your properties are undamaged and you merely get some overdue snuggle and family time being rained in.  Should you or a neighbor need a retaining wall to protect your investments or homes from flooding or erosion damage we hope you’ll call us first “When quality is your first priorty” 512-577-2345  or find us on Facebook @AustinLuxuryLandscapes.
