Custom Outdoor Stone Masonry in Austin, TX
Austin lives outdoors. For most of the year, a well-built backyard here does the work of a second living room – and stone is what makes that room permanent. Anderson Landscapes has spent 27 years designing and building outdoor masonry across the city: patios, fire features, kitchens, walls, and pool surrounds that hold their looks through decades of Texas weather.
We’re selective on purpose. Our team only takes on projects we know we can build to a standard we’d put our name behind, because that name is exactly what’s on the line with every job. That commitment to quality is what has kept homeowners returning to us for more than two and a half decades.
Our Outdoor Masonry Services
Fire Pits & Outdoor Kitchens
Nothing anchors an Austin backyard like fire and food. We build stone fire pits and fireplaces that carry your evenings deep into the cooler months, and outdoor kitchens with masonry surrounds engineered for grills, counters, storage, and prep space. Because we’re masonry contractors Austin TX homeowners also hire for full landscape design, the kitchen or fire feature is planned as part of the whole yard – seating,landscape lighting,accent vegetation and traffic flow included. It’s ok to remember that if it’s between the fence and your foundation we build staycations.
Patios & Water Features
Our patio builders work in natural stone and brick pavers, shaping surfaces around how you entertain rather than defaulting to a rectangle off the back door. We also overhaul pool decks, replacing plain concrete with stone or tile that stays modern and luxurious while being underfoot-friendly.
Water features get equal attention in our designs. We build stone fountains, Colorado style boulder creeks and natural-stone waterfall arrangements, each set into masonry that ties the feature to the surrounding hardscape. Beyond looks, moving water earns its keep in an Austin backyard – it softens nearby traffic noise and provides conversational privacy, adds a cooling presence in summer, and gives patios and seating areas a natural focal point. During design, we plan the plumbing, power, and stone placement together, so the feature runs reliably and looks like it grew out of the landscape rather than being placed on top of it.
Retaining Walls & Walkways
Some walls are workhorses; some are just beautiful. We build both. Retaining walls protect sloped Austin lots from erosion and carve out level, usable ground, while decorative walls define garden rooms and borders. Stone and paver walkways then tie it all together, so moving through your property feels intentional from the front curb to the back fence.
Masonry Materials We Use
Great patio and stone work starts with honest material choices. We build with natural stone that settles comfortably into Central Texas landscapes, brick pavers for clean lines and easy long-term upkeep, and tile where pool surrounds call for it. During design, we’ll show you samples and explain how each option weathers our heat, rain, and freeze cycles – so the surface you choose at the start is one you’re still glad about in year twenty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace my worn concrete pool deck with stone?
Yes – pool deck overhauls are one of our specialties. Stone and tile surrounds outperform plain concrete in both looks and longevity.
What's the difference between a retaining wall and a decorative wall?
Retaining walls are engineered to hold back soil and manage drainage; decorative walls define spaces without bearing that load. We design and build both, and we’ll tell you honestly which your property needs.
Which stone handles Austin heat best?
Lighter-toned natural stone quarried from our local hill country stays cooler underfoot, which matters for patios and pool decks. We’ll walk you through options and have ample samples of real projects completed.
Will the new masonry match my existing landscaping?
That’s the advantage of a design-build team – we plan stonework and plantings together so the finished yard reads as one design, not an add-on.
How long does a typical masonry project take?
It depends on scope and access, but you’ll get a realistic timeline with your quote and steady updates while we build.
