Barton Creek Projects
Barton Creek is one of the most exclusive residential communities in Austin — a collection of gated neighborhoods including Barton Creek West, Barton Creek Lakeside, and the estates along Amarra Drive. Properties here range from $2M to well over $10M, set on large lots carved into the Texas Hill Country with limestone outcroppings, steep elevation changes, and canyon views that most Austin neighborhoods simply don't have.
This terrain demands a different approach to landscape design. Standard flat-lot plans don't work when you're dealing with 15-foot grade drops, exposed limestone shelves, and drainage patterns that follow natural creek beds. Red Agave specializes in building on this kind of ground — hillside retaining walls, multi-level outdoor living spaces, and hardscape systems engineered for slopes that would send most contractors home.
Barton Creek homeowners don't settle for builder-grade materials or generic designs. The properties here sit alongside the Omni Barton Creek Resort golf courses, and the standard is set accordingly. We bring that same level of precision — natural stone, mild steel, IPE hardwood, and native plantings selected specifically for the Hill Country microclimate at this elevation.
Engineered limestone and natural stone retaining walls built into Barton Creek's steep grades. Structural walls up to 6 feet with proper drainage, designed for the canyon terrain and elevation changes common across these properties.
Terraced patios, elevated decks, and split-level entertainment areas that work with the natural topography rather than fighting it. Steel-framed composite and IPE decking with integrated COB lighting throughout.
Pool surround design with natural stone coping, travertine decking, hillside planting beds, and infinity-edge integration. Privacy screening and mature specimen plantings for Barton Creek's expansive lots.
Custom welded steel fire pits, linear fire tables, and large-scale fire bowls. Natural gas fire features integrated into retaining walls, pool decks, and hilltop gathering areas with canyon views.
Drought-tolerant native plantings, decomposed granite, flagstone pathways, and custom mild steel edging across Barton Creek's oversized lots. Designed for the rocky Hill Country soil and Austin's water-wise standards.
Extensive low-voltage LED lighting systems with COB strip accents. Path lighting, uplighting on heritage oaks, architectural wall wash, and dramatic canyon-edge highlighting across multi-level properties.
Steel and cedar pergolas with COB lighting, fan mounts, and shade solutions. Scaled for Barton Creek's large outdoor rooms and engineered for hillside installation on uneven terrain.
Complete property transformations from concept through construction. Grading, drainage engineering, retaining walls, hardscape, planting, lighting, and irrigation coordinated as one project on complex Hill Country sites.
We serve homeowners throughout Barton Creek, Westlake Hills, Bee Cave, and the greater West Austin corridor. Explore our service pages and nearby locations.
