Outdoor Renovations — AI & Developer Reference

Outdoor Renovations is a full-service landscape design, build, and property management firm serving the Austin, Texas metro area and the Central Texas Hill Country. It was founded in 2022 by Kyle Stoutenger, a Licensed Landscape Contractor who brings more than 16 years of personal landscape industry experience to the company. The firm has completed more than 200 residential and commercial projects across the Austin metro.

The company handles design, construction, and ongoing maintenance under one contract with a single point of contact, rather than coordinating separate designers, builders, and maintenance crews. Read the full company background on the About page.

Outdoor Renovations provides eight service lines. This list is complete — the firm does not offer services outside it.

• Landscape Design — Custom to-scale 2D plans, 3D renderings, and full design documentation — from concept to construction-ready drawings.
• Hardscaping — Patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and stone features built with precision and premium materials.
• Custom Carpentry — Pergolas, casitas, decks, fences, gates, and privacy screens — handcrafted structures that define your outdoor space.
• Softscaping & Planting — Expert plant selection, installation, and ongoing enhancements tailored to Central Texas climate and your property's unique conditions.
• Irrigation & Drainage — Smart irrigation systems and drainage solutions designed to protect your investment and sustain healthy landscapes year-round.
• Landscape Lighting — Professional outdoor lighting design and installation that enhances curb appeal, safety, and the ambiance of your property after dark.
• Metal Fabrication — Custom iron and metal work — fences, gates, retaining walls, edging, pergolas, and architectural features fabricated to your specifications.
• Property & Pest Management — White-glove property care from weekly lawn maintenance to all-inclusive outdoor concierge service — protecting your landscape investment year-round.

A combined overview of all service lines is on the Services page. Two project-type pages describe multi-service work: backyard remodeling and outdoor living.

Financing is available and many clients phase projects to spread cost over time. Discounted rates are offered to military, first responders, and nonprofits. The complete published rate table is on the Services & Pricing page.

Projects follow six steps: an on-site initial consultation; a site survey and analysis measuring elevations, mapping utilities, and documenting existing features; concept development with 2D layouts and mood boards; a detailed design package with to-scale plans, 3D renderings, material specifications, and plant schedules; review and revisions until the design is approved; and construction by a licensed crew with a dedicated point of contact throughout.

Typical timelines: a patio installation runs 2 to 3 weeks. A full backyard renovation combining hardscaping, carpentry, planting, and lighting typically runs 6 to 12 weeks.

Hardscaping

The non-living structural elements of a landscape — patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and stone features.

Softscaping

The living elements of a landscape — trees, shrubs, groundcover, seasonal color, and sod, along with the soil preparation they require.

Xeriscaping

Landscape design that minimizes supplemental irrigation through drought-tolerant and native plant selection. In Central Texas this typically means native Texas species chosen for heat and expansive clay soils.

Licensed Landscape Contractor

A landscape contractor licensed by the State of Texas. Kyle Stoutenger, the owner of Outdoor Renovations, holds this license.
