Cedar Park's Custom Landscape Design and Installation Experts

Outsider Solutions is a family owned and operated landscape design and installation company serving Cedar Park and the greater Austin area. We design and build custom landscapes, hardscapes, and outdoor lighting that fit your vision, your yard, and your budget. Projects range from $5,000 to $100,000. All estimates are free. You only pay in full when the work is done to your complete satisfaction.

Your Yard. Your Vision. Our Expertise.

You should love your outdoor space as much as you love the inside of your home. Whether you are starting with bare ground after a new build, renovating a yard that no longer works for your family, or finally building the outdoor kitchen you have been planning for years, we are here to make it happen.

We are not a maintenance crew. We are designers and builders, and we focus on custom installation so every project gets our full attention from the first conversation to the final walk-through.

30 Years of Hands-On Experience in Central Texas

Owner Ben Bretz has owned and operated companies in the lawn and landscape industry since 1993. He has spent three decades learning exactly what thrives in Central Texas, what holds up against our summers, our limestone soil, and our water conditions, and what actually transforms an outdoor space into something a family uses and loves.

Ben's son Josh runs the landscape division and is in the field with the crew every single day. When you hire Outsider Solutions, you are not hiring a company that sends a crew you have never met. You are hiring a family that shows up, does the work, and stands behind it.

Serving Cedar Park and Greater Austin

We are based in Cedar Park at 207 Covala Drive and serve homeowners throughout the greater Austin metro area, including Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and surrounding communities. We understand Central Texas landscaping because we live here. We know the Edwards Aquifer, the Blackland Prairie soils, the limestone hardpan, and the native plants that thrive without fighting our climate. That local knowledge is built into every design we deliver.

What We Do

We offer a focused range of design and installation services, chosen so we can do each one at the highest possible level.

Landscape Design, Installation, and Renovation

Every design is carefully and uniquely planned to your individual taste. We meet with you, learn your vision, and build a plan around your budget. No two yards look the same when we are done.

Hardscapes

Stone borders, retaining walls, custom masonry, outdoor kitchens, and more. Our masons pay attention to every detail so the finished work looks professional and lasts for years in Central Texas conditions.

Landscape Lighting

Commercial-grade fixtures that make your property look as good at night as it does by day. We design lighting to highlight your landscape, improve safety, and showcase your home after dark.

Irrigation, Grading, Sod, and Planting

We handle everything under the surface that makes a landscape succeed, including proper drainage, efficient irrigation, and plant and tree selection suited to our local climate.

We do not offer lawn or sprinkler maintenance. That focus is by design, so your installation project always gets our best.

Our Promise to You

We run our business by a principle from one of our favorite books, The Go-Giver: offer more in value than you receive in payment.

In practice that means three things. We never compromise quality for speed. We communicate clearly from the first estimate through the last day on site. And you do not pay in full until the finished work meets your complete satisfaction.

That is not a marketing line. It is how we have earned a 5-star reputation across Cedar Park, and it is how we intend to earn yours.

About the Bretz Family

Ben Bretz started in the landscape industry in 1993. He and his wife Dani have been married for nearly 30 years and have raised 5 kids in Cedar Park. They have 4 grandchildren. Ben is highly involved with Cedar Park Young Life and still attends Cedar Park sporting events whenever he can.

Josh Bretz grew up watching his dad in the industry, spent years learning the trade at his side, and now runs the landscape division full time. He is in the field every day, is a volunteer leader with Cedar Park Young Life, and heads out to hunt and fish at the ranch whenever he gets a break. This is not just a business. It is a family that has deep roots in this community and a personal stake in every yard they build.
