It was great working with Ean to remove our grass and replace with a xeriscape design. He took my vision and some specific plant selections and came up with a design that accomplished exactly what I wanted. I would recommend him and his team for your landscape needs!

We had Ean and crew add an extension to our driveway and reroute sprinklers. The work was slows down by city permits issues but they were very patient with that and finished soon after permits were approved. Very happy with the work. Would use them again in a second.

Ean and his crew were great to work with. Newly poured driveway included a beautiful glued rock drain which not only protects but adds a touch of color to the concrete. Would highly recommend 512 Luxury Landscape Design.

Ian was so easy to work with and really communicative. We had our backyard redone with sod and he found the grass that would work best for our yard and gave us in depth instructions on how to make sure it roots and grows. His team was efficient and they did a fantastic job. We’re so excited to see how it does and would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for landscape design.

Ean and his crew were quick, efficient, respectful, and easy to deal with. He gave a fair price for a sod install. He showed up on time, did the work as agreed upfront, and left us with the nice lawn to enjoy. Thanks Ean and crew!

Ean and the team at 512 Luxury & Design exceeded my expectations. He walked through the project with me, listened to my ideas, and added his own expert input. He then put everything together in a digital format and sent it over for review. When the team arrived, they brought the vision to life flawlessly. I highly recommend Ean and his team for their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail!

512 Luxury landscaping is a solid choice in your landscaping and construction needs! Ean and his crew do impeccable work, kind, timely, and is the best contractor I’ve ever worked with! What sets Ean apart is that he aims to educate the client. I’ve worked with many contractors that just do-as-told and then show up with their crew and you’re in shock, not knowing the process and procedures. Construction and landscaping is much more meticulous, strategic and demands strong communication than the novice knows- until they experience it for the first time. Ean is professional, communicative, has creativity and a best-bang-for-your-buck-attitude. There were times when I needed someone to step in a take control and he knew exactly when to do this- whilst simultaneously balancing knowing that as the customers, we need full transparency of what needs to happen and what to expect. Ean was additionally helpful calling out prior contractors incorrect work. So much to the point where I was empowered with the knowledge he gave me to call-out said contractors to come back and do the job the right way. You can’t go wrong with 512 luxury landscaping. I’ve referred many friends to them and hope this review is helpful to you making your decision on hiring a contractor.

I couldn’t be happier with the work 512 Luxury Landscape Design did on my backyard. They designed a stunning outdoor living area complete with a fire pit, custom stonework, and gorgeous plant selections. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the team worked efficiently to bring my vision to life. Now, my family and I spend more time outside than ever before, and entertaining guests has never been more enjoyable. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space!

Several friends referred me to 512 Luxury Landscape Design for my latest home improvement project and we're glad they did. They installed a concrete sidewalk, outdoor wall sconce, and river rock landscape treatment. We think landscaping with rock is great because it cuts down on maintenance of having to add mulch seasonally. Fair pricing, great communication, and creative design ideas is why it was a pleasure working with Ian and his entire team. We highly recommend Luxury Landscape Design the next time you want to elevate your outdoor space.

Excellent service and professionalism along with a personal touch neighborly kindness. It says a lot when you can higher a company that takes as much pride in their work as this company. As a business owner myself, its unfortunately too hard to find a company that stands by their work AND their customer. 512 will impress you. Thanks team!

- Margo Wickersham Google review ·Read on Google: review by Margo Wickersham (opens in a new tab)
Ean Nambo has a great eye for design and practicality that is more important for Austin area homeowners now than ever. We had a functional problem of water pooling at our front door during heavy rains. We had a design problem of a front yard that was 20% grass and 80% weeds that required mowing and turned brown during droughts. I challenged Ean to help me create a xeriscaped front yard that diverts water away from our house and into the street and that looks like the updated and modern home that we've created. I wanted to avoid installing a lawn that would be thirsty for water in our climate and I had some ideas for including a dry creek running through the property. I am thrilled with the results! I love the look and the dry creek bed did its job during a recent deluge. Ean had ideas to make the most of a courtyard area that converted the space into an additional gathering area and I couldn't be happier with the result. He also included dramatic landscape lighting installation that showcases the lovely texture of the limestone exterior and the grace of our live oaks that have survived the recent freezes. I wanted to avoid over planting, so as we planted a few things. I'm happy with this strategy, because I can see which plants work best in which areas for future plantings. Rarely can a homeowner say they are so happy with the results of working with a landscape company, so I am thrilled to share met experience with others considering 512 Luxury Landscaping.
Why Austin Homeowners Start Their Steel Project with Us
When one team designs, fabricates, and installs your steel, nothing gets lost along the way.
Rated 4.8 on Google

Designing and Building Since 2018
One in-house team designs and builds your project, so there is no handoff between a designer and a separate crew. The owner stays involved from the first walk-through to the final cleanup.
Finish, Primer, and Footings in the Plan
We pick the powder coat or Corten finish during design, not after. Primer and edge sealing are part of the spec for every outdoor piece. Footing depth, anchor size, and beam size are set for clay soil and wind before we cut any steel.
Custom Steel Design & Planning in Austin, TX
PLANNED, DRAWN, AND BUILT TO FITCustom metal fabrication works best when the planning is solid. The right design saves money, avoids surprises, and gives you a piece that fits your home and lasts. At 512 Luxury Landscape Design, we guide Austin homeowners through the full design process, from the first idea to clear material choices to the final install. This page is part of our welding and steel fabrication services, and it ties together every project we build.
Our Design and Planning Process
We keep the process clear so you always know what comes next:
- We meet at your home, learn your goals, and look at the space and any HOA rules.
- We sketch concepts and, for larger projects, build 3D visuals so you can see the piece before we make it.
- We recommend materials and finishes that suit your style and our climate.
- We give you a clear estimate with the design, materials, and timeline spelled out.
- Once you approve, our crew fabricates and installs the piece, then walks the finished work with you.
Choosing the Right Material
Picking the right metal is one of the most important calls in any project, and it is where good planning pays off. We help you weigh the options:
- Steel and wrought iron for strength, security, and a classic look.
- Aluminum for lighter pieces that resist rust on their own.
- Stainless steel for a clean, modern feel in high-moisture spots.
- Corten steel for a warm, weathered patina that seals itself.
- Powder-coat finishes in any color to fight rust and hold up to the Austin sun.
Why Plan With One Team
When the same team designs, welds, and installs your project, nothing gets lost between steps. The person who drew the plan knows how it gets built, so the finished piece matches the vision and meets local code. That also keeps the timeline tight and the budget clear. From an iron fence to a steel pergola, we plan and build it all under one roof.
Custom Steel Design Across the Austin Area
We offer custom steel design and fabrication for homes across Central Texas, including Austin, Lakeway, Bee Cave, and Dripping Springs. See every community we work in on our service areas page.

Get Started with DesignWhy Good Planning Matters Even More in Central Texas
Austin's climate creates real constraints for any custom steel project. Picking a metal that corrodes in our humidity, or skipping a primer step on cut edges, or undersizing a footing for our clay soil are all mistakes that show up within the first year. Our design process catches those problems before we cut the first piece of steel.
Good upfront planning also saves money. A design that accounts for local code, HOA setbacks, and accurate site dimensions rarely needs costly changes mid-build.
- Austin heat and UV that require finish selection to be part of the design, not an afterthought, so the powder coat or Corten choice fits the piece and the location.
- Humidity and seasonal rain that make primer coating and edge sealing a design requirement, not an optional upgrade, on any outdoor steel piece.
- Expansive clay soil that has to be factored into footing depths and anchor sizes for structural pieces like pergola columns and gate posts.
- Central Texas wind and storm loads that shape beam sizing, connection engineering, and anchor spec on any structure taller than a fence panel.
- Service across Austin, Westlake, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Leander.

Custom Steel Design & Planning FAQs
Do you charge for a design consultation?
We start with a free estimate visit to learn what you want and look at your space. For detailed design work, like 3D models and full plans on a larger project, we talk through any design fee up front so there are no surprises. Much of that fee often rolls into the build.
Can I bring my own idea or photo?
Absolutely. A photo, a magazine clipping, or a rough sketch is a great place to start. We take your idea and turn it into a buildable design, then suggest the right materials and finishes for our climate. You approve the plan before we cut any steel.
Do you handle the whole project or just the design?
We do both. We can design a piece for you, and we also fabricate and install it with our own crew. Keeping design, welding, and install under one roof means the finished work matches the plan and the timeline stays on track.
