· The Travisso Backyard

Travisso Backyards, Terraced for the Hill Country.

Travisso is Leander's luxury hillside community — a master-planned enclave off Ronald Reagan Boulevard where the streets climb through the Texas Hill Country and nearly every lot comes with a view. Toll Brothers and Taylor Morrison have built here since the community opened around 2013, with floor plans that run from the low 2,000s to more than 5,600 square feet across collections like Capri, Florence, and Verona. The homes are newer and beautifully finished — but the backyards are often the last piece, and the terrain makes them the hardest.

We've built across Leander since 2018, and Travisso is the most vertical ground we work. The hillsides are limestone and thin, rocky soil, and a single lot can drop several feet from the house to the fence. That's why a usable Travisso backyard almost always starts with engineering — a retaining wall, a set of terraces, and a drainage plan — before the first paver ever goes down.

Whether you want to terrace a sloping yard into level living space, add a covered outdoor kitchen that frames the view, or build a pergola and lighting that make the most of the elevation, you work with one team from first sketch to final walkthrough — no subcontractor handed the job halfway through.

· Why CTX

Why Travisso Homeowners Choose CTX.

Engineered for Steep Lots

Retaining walls, terracing, and tiered patios that turn Travisso's dramatic slopes into level, usable outdoor living — designed and built by one team.

Drainage Done First

On a hillside, water is the whole game. We plan grading and drainage before hardscape so runoff moves around your patio and foundation, not toward them.

Built Into the Rock

Travisso's limestone hillsides take real excavation. We key footings and walls into solid rock so structures hold their line season after season.

Design-Build Since 2018

Hundreds of Central Texas outdoor spaces designed and installed — one local team, one point of contact, start to finish.

· How It Works

From First Call to Final Walkthrough.

On-Site Consultation

We walk your Travisso property, listen to how you want to use it, and take the measurements and grade that drive a real design.

Design & Quote

You get a clear plan and a fixed, itemized quote — materials, layout, and timeline. No vague estimates, no surprises later.

Permit & Build

We pull City of Leander permits and self-perform the build — retaining walls, hardscape, structures, lighting, turf, and drainage — with one crew you can reach.

Walkthrough

We finish, clean up, and walk the completed space with you — and stand behind the work long after we hand back the backyard.

That's the signature Travisso challenge, and it's exactly what we're built for. Many lots here drop several feet across the yard. We use retaining walls, tiered patios, and terracing to carve flat, usable living space out of the slope, then engineer the drainage so runoff moves around the structure instead of through it.
It makes the excavation harder, not the result worse. Travisso's hillsides are limestone and thin, rocky soil, so footings, post holes, and wall foundations take real equipment. Once we key into that rock, though, it's an ideal anchor — retaining walls and patios built on it hold their line for the long haul.
Absolutely. Travisso's architecture leans Hill Country-meets-Tuscan, and we design to it — natural stone, warm pavers, clean pergola lines, and low-voltage lighting that plays up the elevation and the view instead of fighting it.
