Outdoor Living Pros in Crestview, TX | Landscape Design & Construction
Crestview's Landscape Design Partner
Crestview is one of north-central Austin’s fastest-changing neighborhoods. GardenGOAT has been helping homeowners here with their unique landscaping needs for years. From the original 1950s bungalows along Woodrow Avenue to the new builds near the Crestview MetroRail station, every property has its own story and its own outdoor challenges.
The land in Crestview is mostly flat, but the soil is another matter. Heavy black clay covers most lots. It swells when wet and cracks when dry, causing problems for patios, foundations, and plant roots. Many Crestview homeowners also want to save their big pecan and live oak trees while adding ADUs, wider driveways, or new outdoor hangout spots. We work with homeowners near Justin Lane, the Crestview Shopping Center, and the Brentwood border to design yards that protect the trees and keep the neighborhood looking great.
Whether you are fixing up the yard of a classic mid-century home or starting fresh on a new build, GardenGOAT designs Crestview landscapes that handle the clay, match the style of your home, and make the most of your lot, no matter the size.
How We Help Crestview Homeowners
The heavy black clay soil is the biggest landscaping problem in Crestview. It holds water when it rains, cracks during dry spells, and shifts enough to break patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Many of the 1950s homes have packed-down yards that have been built up over the years. That means you need to fix the grading and drainage before starting any new work. The building boom adds more issues, too. New homes on small lots leave little room for landscaping. And the roots of big trees on nearby lots need to be kept safe during construction. Austin’s summer heat is tough on Crestview’s flat, open lots. Good shade planning and smart watering are key to keeping plants alive through July and August.
Our Crestview projects cover the full neighborhood and nearby areas. We work along Justin Lane and Woodrow Avenue, near the Crestview MetroRail station on the Capital Metro Red Line, around the Crestview Shopping Center and Little Deli, and on the streets between Lamar Boulevard and Burnet Road. We also serve homeowners in Brentwood, near Brentwood Social House and Brentwood Park, along the North Loop and Violet Crown trail, and around St. David’s North Austin Medical Center. Homes near Morrow Street, Brookview Drive, and the Wooten and North Shoal Creek borders are all in our service area.
Crestview gets its character from the mix of old mid-century homes and new modern builds going up around the neighborhood. Original homes sit on small to medium lots, usually a quarter acre or less. Every bit of outdoor space counts. Many homeowners are adding ADUs, which makes yards even smaller and calls for creative design. The neighborhood has a strong sense of community. People take pride in keeping the big pecans, live oaks, and hackberries healthy, even as homes get rebuilt. Most parts of Crestview have no HOA, which gives homeowners more freedom. But city of Austin permits and tree protection rules still apply. Water-smart landscaping is growing here. Many people are choosing native plant beds, smaller lawns, and drip irrigation that works well in the clay soil.

Our Customer Reviews
We had an excellent experience working with Nicolas and his team to rebuild our elevated pool deck. The team was punctual, hard working and reliable. They were very honest and professional through the process and we are delighted with the results. Thank you Garden Goat!
Nicholas did an amazing job! I love the outcome of my front and backyard. He exceeded my expectations. I got a new driveway, irrigation, sod, plants, firepit, and pathways. I would highly recommend him to everyone!
I've worked with Garden Goat twice now and have been delighted both times. Really easy to work with, communicative and punctual, no hassles and really great work. Will definitely have them back any time we need landscaping or irrigation work in the future!
