About Austin Creative Landscaping

Austin Creative Landscaping is a design/build landscaping company specializing in residential and light commercial projects. For over 16 years, we’ve proudly served the Austin area. Our journey began in 2008 when founder Abèy transitioned from full-time student ministry at The University of Texas to pursue a career that would better support his growing family. Encouraged by friends, the idea to start a lawn care business took root.

Although Abèy held a bachelor’s degree from UT Austin and wasn’t initially drawn to landscaping, the economic challenges of 2008 and the need to provide for his young family proved to be powerful motivators. His love for the outdoors sealed the deal. From a duplex in South Austin, Austin Lawns and Flower Beds was born. What began as a small lawn maintenance business gradually expanded into full-service landscaping. In 2013, we rebranded as Austin Creative Landscaping to reflect our evolving expertise and a broader range of services. Since then, we’ve earned our place as one of Austin’s premier landscaping companies.

  • Over the last 20 years I've had several other landscape projects and the one Austin Creative Landscaping designed and installed for me was the best experience that I've had. Abey's creative focus and attention to detail to provide the best outcome was outstanding. He kept me well informed through the process and ultimately delivered a quality result that exceeded my expectations.

    Dan Samora / Shady Hollow Austin 6/2025

  • One of the easiest contractors we've ever worked with. From design to install they were responsive, honest, and communicated openly. Install went great with a group of hard workers and owner was onsite constantly checking in with us and making sure everything went well. They were detailed in their work and very professional, showing up on time and working hard the whole time. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and the experience of working with ACL.
