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 Travisso Homeowners Choose CTX.
Retaining walls, terracing, and tiered patios that turn Travisso's dramatic slopes into level, usable outdoor living — designed and built by one team.
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.
Travisso's limestone hillsides take real excavation. We key footings and walls into solid rock so structures hold their line season after season.
Hundreds of Central Texas outdoor spaces designed and installed — one local team, one point of contact, start to finish.
From First Call to Final Walkthrough.
We walk your Travisso property, listen to how you want to use it, and take the measurements and grade that drive a real design.
You get a clear plan and a fixed, itemized quote — materials, layout, and timeline. No vague estimates, no surprises later.
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.
We finish, clean up, and walk the completed space with you — and stand behind the work long after we hand back the backyard.
