Learn About the Best Landscaper in Texas
CJK Landscaping started with a simple focus: build and care for yards across Central Texas that can handle the reality of local heat, poor soils, and erratic weather. For over twenty years, Jerry Morales and our crew have worked with homeowners and business owners to create outdoor spaces that look great and stay healthy year after year.
Two decades digging in Texas soil
Working on land around here takes more than basic lawn care. You have to understand how shallow soil over Hill Country limestone affects root growth, how caliche holds onto water, and which plants actually survive a July drought or a sudden hard freeze. We combine practical field experience with careful planning to make sure your investment lasts.
We started CJK Landscaping over 20 years ago as a family-owned business because we saw a gap between quick-turn lawn crews and overly complex design firms. Most property owners just want reliable communication, honest work, and a yard that does not die the first time summer temperatures hit triple digits.
Over the years, we have worked through just about every site challenge this region offers. We have chopped through rock ledges to set retaining walls, regraded clay yards after heavy spring storms, and installed irrigation lines through stubborn caliche. That experience means we do not guess when we walk onto your property. We look at your yard's slope, sun patterns, soil depth, and drainage before recommending any plants or hardscapes.
Most of our work comes from neighbors telling neighbors about us. We treat every yard like it belongs to someone we see at the store on weekends, and we stick with the job until it is done right.
How we handle your property
Finding someone to work on your land requires trust. Here is how we run our job sites and treat our clients daily:
20+ years of knowing what grows here
Two decades on local job sites teaches you things you cannot pick up from a manual. We know which sod types handle high foot traffic in heavy clay, how deep to set footings so retaining walls do not shift, and how to spot potential grading issues before they wash out your topsoil.
Direct contact with the owners
You will not deal with remote call centers or passing off messages through third parties. We are family-owned and operated right here in the area. When you have a question about your project, you get straight answers from the people managing the work.
We stick around until the work is right
Our standard is straightforward: we do not pack up the truck or send the final invoice until you have walked the project with us and confirmed everything matches your expectations. Clean job sites and clear communication come standard on every job.
Built for extreme summer heat and winter snaps
Central Texas weather is hard on plants and outdoor structures. A layout that works in another state will often fail here. We pick hardy native perennials, heat-tolerant grasses, and efficient watering setups so your landscape stays intact through long dry spells and winter cold snaps.
What we build and maintain
We handle complete outdoor projects, from initial ground clearing and rock installation to ongoing turf management.
Planting beds and customized softscaping
A good softscape layout fits the architecture of your home and handles local growing conditions. We select native Texas shrubs, trees, and flowering plants that require reasonable amounts of water once established. Whether you are redoing old flower beds or laying fresh turf across a cleared lot, we pick plants suited for your specific soil depth and light exposure.
Patios, stone walls, and outdoor spaces
Adding stone features gives you practical space for outdoor living while helping manage uneven terrain. We construct custom stone patios, fire pits, flagstone walkways, and block retaining walls. Every wall and patio foundation is prepped to handle ground movement, heavy runoff, and shifting soil conditions without cracking or leaning over time.
Drip lines, sprinklers, and smart controllers
Water management is critical around here. We design and install sprinkler setups, drip zones for plant beds, and smart controllers with rain sensors. If your existing system has broken heads, low pressure, or leaks, we diagnose the issue and reconfigure zones so your lawn gets water where it needs it without running down the gutter.
Lawn care and seasonal cleanups
Keeping turf green and weed-free takes ongoing maintenance aligned with local growing cycles. Our team handles seasonal aeration, targeted fertilizer applications, weed treatments, clean edging, and regular maintenance. We adjust schedule timing based on rainfall and temperatures so your grass stays thick and resilient.
Drainage work and erosion control
Heavy downpours can dump inches of rain in a few hours, leaving standing water near your foundation or washing away fresh mulch and topsoil. We install French drains, catch basins, surface channels, and dry creek beds to direct heavy runoff safely off your property.
Our core goals
Our Mission
To give local home and business owners solid, long-lasting landscape work built on practical experience, clear communication, and honest pricing. We use durable materials, pick proven plants, and stand behind every installation until the homeowner is fully satisfied with the result.
Our Vision
To remain a dependable, respected local business across Central Texas known for quality craftsmanship, practical water conservation, and straightforward customer service that keeps clients working with us for years.
