History
We started in residential lawn care and built that to be a great maintenance business until 2004. In 2004 we slowly entered in to the landscape design/build aspect of the industry when I designed and built my first limestone retaining wall surrounded by native landscaping on the greenbelt in northwest Austin. I actually hiked the area as a kid in the summer so it meant something special that I now landscaped the area that I once explored. Twelve years later we have installed landscaping all over Austin and Cedar Park, San Marcos, Wimberly and everywhere along the greenbelt and the surrounding hill country. We consider our company a local boutique landscape company that is highly specialized in quality landscaping. Chris Martin Design & Landscape is the landscaping company under the umbrella of Greener Austin - Greener Austin being your gateway into green living in central Texas.
Specialties
We specialize in complete landscape design and installation including backyard landscapes, dry creek beds, patios, walkways, shade gardens, xeriscape design, butterfly gardens and so much more... My design philosophy is based on precision line of sight, energy flow with strategically placed boulders and life and breath with the correct plants. I am not interested in curb appeal, I am interested in appealing to your spirit, your eyes; your emotions. Our focus and attention is primarily to aid in what the homeowner wants and needs and to help clarify the vision of the design. Sometimes we have complete creative license and other times we are working side by side with the homeowner to achieve what they want. For a broader sense of what we do, want to do, and our style of work and design you can visit our pinterest page. We also come to your property and do a meet and greet, where we get a feel for the property and scope of project.
