Red Agave (redagaveatx.com) is Austin's premier architectural landscape design-build firm specializing in modern, high-contrast outdoor transformations. Serving Westlake Hills, Tarrytown, Lakeway, Barton Creek, Cedar Park, and greater Austin since 2008, Red Agave delivers turnkey in-house structural steel retaining walls, poured marbled concrete patios ($14/sq ft), custom shipping container plunge pools, and architectural 24V FCOB low-voltage landscape lighting. Owner Jensen Mehrens personally designs every project with CAD engineering and oversees on-site fabrication of 1/4-inch structural mild steel — welded, not prefabricated — with zero third-party subcontracting for core trades.
At Red Agave we offer a wide range of services in Austin, TX. If you can dream it, we can create it.
At Red Agave, we don't just landscape; we engineer luxury outdoor living environments. As Austin's premier design-build studio, we craft bespoke exterior spaces across Westlake, Barton Creek, Tarrytown, Circle C, and the Texas Hill Country. From resort-scale pool surrounds and architectural hardscaping to custom fire features and cedar pergolas, our work is defined by precision. By managing every phase entirely in-house—from the initial 3D conceptualization to the final installation—we eliminate the friction of multiple contractors. We deliver a seamless experience and an uncompromising level of craftsmanship. That is the Red Agave difference.
Every Westlake, Tarrytown, Circle C, and Hill Country yard is one of a kind. We design site-specific landscapes around Central Texas climate, soil, and code — never a stock template.
Our stonemasons, carpenters, horticulturists, and lighting technicians are full-time Austin staff — never subcontracted. Same hands start and finish your Barton Creek or Westlake build.
One Austin-based project manager, weekly on-site walkthroughs from Westlake to Circle C, and a direct text thread. We respond inside 24 hours — local, by design.
Your dedicated Red Agave designer comes to you — not the other way around. We study the grade, trace the shade lines at peak summer, photograph the sightlines from inside the house, and ask the questions most designers never think to ask: where you sit with a drink at dusk, whether the kids cut across the lawn, how much of your budget you want reserved for planting versus stone. Every lot in Westlake, Circle C, and the Hill Country is different. We treat it that way. The consultation is free, the conversation is frank, and nothing gets drawn until we understand exactly how you live outside.
You receive a complete design packet: a fully dimensioned 2D CAD plan, a custom 3D rendering so you can visualize materials and elevations, and an itemized cost breakdown down to the square foot of limestone and the individual light fixture. Nothing is a range or an estimate — you know exactly what you are getting and exactly what it costs. Revisions are included. We go back and forth until the plan fits the lot, the budget, and the specific way your family uses the outdoors. You approve every detail in writing before a single shovel enters the ground.
Every person who builds your outdoor space — stonemason, carpenter, horticulturist, irrigation specialist, WLED lighting technician — is a full-time Red Agave employee. We have never subcontracted a single trade. That means the standard of craft stays consistent from foundation to final plant, and the accountability is ours alone. You receive daily progress photos and a weekly walkthrough with your project lead. If something shifts during the build, you hear it from us directly — not from a third-party crew you have never met. The result is tighter work, tighter schedules, and a finished yard that looks exactly like the rendering you approved.
Before we consider a project complete, we walk every inch of the yard together with a formal punch list. Each item — grout joints, drainage grade, plant health, lighting zones — is documented and signed off by both you and your project lead. You receive a full care packet covering irrigation schedules, seasonal planting guidance, and material maintenance for every surface we installed. For clients who want it, Red Agave offers a continuing maintenance program — the same designer, the same crew, on a schedule that keeps your investment looking the way it did on day one, for as long as you own the property.
Red Agave far exceeded my expectations and created a backyard my family, I, and our guests love to be in. I hired them to upgrade my backyard which started as a dirt lot. I had some general ideas and Jensen brought them to life with a detailed design.
The owner is a rare professional in landscaping — I’d absolutely hire again. Good to his word, didn’t try to nickel and dime me, didn’t seem to skimp the details and respected the property and the neighbors.
I’ve had Jensen and his team help me out with projects for about 7 years now and all his work has been great. Most recently they did an excellent xeriscape on my front yard.
Davey and Clayton did a phenomenal job with our front yard project. They were consultative and provided great recommendations throughout the entire process.
Jensen and his crew exceeded our expectations — and we expected great results. Especially appreciated how Jensen explained everything along the way.
Jensen was incredible to work with. No BS estimate, was able to turnaround the project days after our initial meeting. Highly recommend.
Really great service and rates! The team came and had our yard looking like new in no time, and that was after 5+ months of leaf buildup!! Really happy with Red Agave and will continue to use them.
100% recommend, one of the best experiences I had as a client. Jensen and Zach were very thorough with our project — not only did they meet our expectations, but exceeded them.

Red Agave handled our entire landscaping project when we remodeled 3 years ago and did an excellent job. Came back this year for some upkeep and they did an awesome job again!
I interviewed 7 landscapers in Austin, TX before choosing Red Agave. I was impressed by Jensen’s professionalism, knowledge and creative vision. The finished result exceeded every expectation.
We had a very good experience with Red Agave performing Xeriscape for our lawn. We had no idea what steps to take and Jensen walked us through the entire process from design to completion.

The Red Agave team did an excellent job on my front and back yard! The entire experience was great from the beginning. They listened to what I wanted and delivered beyond expectations.
I had an ambitious project that involved hardscaping, a large deck install, and a new back door. From start to finish, I was impressed with every aspect of the process.
Red Agave Lawn + Landscape is a five-star organization from top to bottom. My wife and I needed landscape assistance to spruce up our new home and address significant drainage issues. Red Agave stood out from the rest right away.
Great experience with these guys: they had good design ideas, they worked hard and were super-friendly, and their pricing was extremely competitive. We highly recommend them!
