Lakeway's luxury homes deserve premium turf installations that match the lakefront lifestyle — without the constant maintenance and water expense.
Lakeway homeowners invest significantly in their properties. Homes in The Hills of Lakeway, Rough Hollow, and Flintrock Falls routinely range from $500,000 to well over $2 million, and the expectation for exterior presentation matches those price points. The challenge is that maintaining a natural lawn at that level in Lakeway requires a full-service landscaping crew, thousands of gallons of water weekly, and constant attention to the rocky, shallow-soil terrain that characterizes the Lake Travis corridor. Even with all that investment, summer drought and winter freezes leave most lawns looking inconsistent for months at a time.
Premium artificial turf delivers the manicured aesthetic that Lakeway properties demand, twelve months a year. Our highest-grade products feature multi-toned blade colors, realistic thatch layers, and natural variation patterns that are virtually indistinguishable from professionally maintained natural grass. For homeowners spending $400 or more per month on lawn care and irrigation, turf provides a permanent solution with a clear return on investment. The average Lakeway turf project runs between $15,000 and $25,000, with most homeowners recouping their investment through eliminated maintenance costs within four to six years — while enjoying a flawless lawn from day one.

Learn MoreBeautiful location, challenging conditions for natural grass. Here is what Lakeway homeowners are up against.
Lakeway sits on solid limestone with thin topsoil and significant elevation changes. Grass roots have nowhere to go, leading to shallow root systems that fail quickly in heat and drought. Hillside lots face additional erosion challenges that destroy even well-established lawns after heavy rain events.
Communities like Flintrock Falls and The Hills enforce detailed architectural guidelines covering everything from plant species to lawn appearance. Failing to maintain your grass at the required standard can result in violation notices. Artificial turf meets these standards year-round without seasonal variation — your yard never triggers a compliance issue.
Lakeway relies on Lake Travis for its water supply, and lake levels directly affect availability and pricing. During drought years, outdoor watering restrictions tighten dramatically. Homeowners face a choice between compliance (and a brown lawn) or expensive water overuse. Turf eliminates this dilemma entirely.
Maintaining a lawn at Lakeway-level standards means professional mowing, edging, fertilization, pest control, aeration, and overseeding. Many homeowners spend $400-$600 per month on lawn care alone. Turf eliminates all recurring maintenance costs after installation, delivering premium curb appeal at a fraction of the ongoing expense.

"We spent over $5,000 a year on lawn care in Flintrock Falls and still had brown patches every August. Austin Turf & Stone installed turf across our front yard and pool area. It looks better than our old lawn ever did, even on its best day. The quality is outstanding."
"The putting green they built in our Rough Hollow backyard is incredible. The contours, the speed, the fringe detail — it plays like a real green. We have friends over every weekend to play. Hands down the best home improvement project we have done."

Yes. Lakeway is one of our premier service areas and we have completed numerous installations throughout The Hills, Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, and the broader Lake Travis corridor. We also serve adjacent communities including Bee Cave, Steiner Ranch, and the 620 corridor.
Most Lakeway residential installations take 2 to 5 days. Lakeway properties tend to be larger and often involve hillside grading, multiple zones (front yard, backyard, pool area, pet area), and detailed edge work along hardscape features. Full estate projects with significant square footage may take up to a week.
Yes. We have successfully navigated the architectural review process in Lakeway's most stringent HOA communities, including Flintrock Falls and The Hills of Lakeway. We prepare detailed submission packages with product specifications, color samples, installation plans, and photo documentation from completed projects in comparable neighborhoods. Our approval rate across Lakeway HOAs is excellent.
For Lakeway's premium properties, we recommend our top-tier turf products featuring multi-toned blade combinations, a realistic brown thatch layer, and natural color variation that replicates the appearance of professionally maintained bermuda or zoysia. These products are virtually indistinguishable from natural grass at conversational distance. We bring product samples to every consultation so you can see and feel the difference between grades before committing.
Absolutely. Many of our Lakeway installations involve significant elevation changes, particularly in communities built into the hills along Lake Travis. Our team uses specialized anchoring systems, proper drainage engineering, and erosion-prevention techniques to ensure turf performs perfectly on slopes. Hillside turf actually solves a common Lakeway problem — erosion that washes away topsoil and exposes limestone after heavy rains.
