Creating Sacred Spaces
At Austin Living Landscapes, we strive to sacred spaces. We want each space created to have meaning and purpose. Gardens are a repose from the nonstop chatter that life brings. A well planned garden allows you to experience silence and solitude after a long day's work.
It is deeper. It’s more. We’ve all experienced it before. Sometimes a place may just “feel right” and you can’t put your finger on it. Other times, you know why.
This is what we want to create for you. A feeling one is home. A home represented by more than survey marks and boundary lines--a sense of place. It’s the feeling when you’re in the presence of something greater than yourself. It is an encounter with the numinous. This is a sacred space.
From the moment we sit down with you for an initial consultation, we emphasize open communication to ensure that we can meet and exceed your expectations. This, in combination with our personalized client questionnaire, asking the right questions and a thorough site inventory, allows us to take your ideas and transform them into a landscape that matches your vision and will last for years to come.
Before you sign a project agreement, our process is tailored to guide us together to create your master plan. We will present to you a schematic design, then further refinement of the design presented as a concept plan--either on video or in person. Our next step is presenting the finalized master plan based on your feedback. The care we take in the design process means you will be able to commit to the project with confidence, understanding your design and the cost of your investment. The end result will be a beautiful space that allows you to connect with nature and a landscape customized just for you.

Envisioning Your Tranquil Oasis
While no two projects are the same, the thread that ties them together is our desire to create a meaningful space. Incorporating the use of sacred geometry with the basic elements: earth, wind, fire and water, we use these as starting points in creating a sacred space, a respite from daily life. The inclusion of old-world antiques, sculptures and reclaimed architectural pieces help create a landscape oasis that is both sustainable, timeless and unique.

Once you approve the design and installation proposal, we ask for a 10% deposit to hold a spot on our calendar. To ensure we give every customer the attention they deserve, there is typically a 6-8 week backlog. During this time, we will order all necessary materials so we are ready to start on schedule.
