About Maas Verde

Austin-based landscaping and outdoor design, built for Central Texas. Maas Verde Landscape Restoration is a full-service landscaping company based in Austin, TX. We design, build, and maintain outdoor spaces that are functional, climate-appropriate, and built to thrive in Central Texas. Not just look good on installation day.

Company Overview

Our Mission

We believe landscaping should work with the land, not against it. Founded in Central Texas by Texans in 2015, Maas Verde is committed to leading the landscape and construction industry toward an ecologically conscious approach. One that supports long-term environmental health, from clean water to native plant communities, while delivering beautiful, functional spaces for the people who live and work in them.

What Sets Us Apart

Maas Verde isn’t a general landscaping contractor. We specialize in landscape restoration: repairing, rehabilitating, and rebuilding outdoor spaces using ecological principles as the foundation. That means we think about drainage before we think about plants, soil health before aesthetics, and long-term performance before short-term curb appeal.

Our founder, Ted Maas, holds a degree in Natural Resource Management from Oregon State University and is a licensed Landscape Irrigator and Texas Master Naturalist. That depth of ecological and technical training shapes how the entire company approaches every project, from a backyard redesign to a large-scale commercial restoration.

We also operate our own wholesale plant nursery, giving us direct access to native and climate-adapted Texas plants that most contractors have to source elsewhere.

What We Do

Landscape Design & Installation Native and adaptive Texas plant selection, soil preparation, turf, trees, shrubs, and garden features, all planned around Austin’s climate and your property’s specific conditions.

Irrigation Systems Smart controllers, drip irrigation, and zoned watering systems designed to conserve water without sacrificing a healthy landscape. Ted Maas is a licensed Landscape Irrigator. We also repair and upgrade existing systems.

Hardscaping & Outdoor Living Patios, walkways, retaining walls, decking, pergolas, fencing, masonry, steel fabrication, and outdoor lighting, built to integrate with your landscaping and terrain.

Land Management & Restoration Erosion control, earthwork, stormwater management, rain gardens, xeriscaping, stream reclamation, and invasive vegetation removal. This is where the “Restoration” in our name comes from.

Sustainable Landscaping We design with drought-resistance, native plants, and soil health in mind, so your landscape requires less water, less intervention, and less maintenance over time. Central Texas clay soils, flash flooding, heat stress, and water restrictions aren’t surprises to us. They’re built into every plan from day one.

Ongoing Maintenance Landscape maintenance, tree trimming, and invasive vegetation management to keep your investment performing season after season.

How We Work

Every project follows the same process:

1. Consultation: We learn your goals, budget, and vision
2. Site Evaluation: We assess soil, drainage, sun exposure, existing vegetation, and irrigation infrastructure
3. Design Planning: We build a plan around your property’s actual conditions and Central Texas climate realities
4. Installation: Our crews handle execution with attention to long-term plant health and structural integrity
5. Ongoing Care: Maintenance programs available to protect and grow your investment over time

Who We Work With

We serve homeowners, commercial property owners, property managers, multi-family communities, and real estate developers. Our home base is Austin, and we regularly work throughout Dripping Springs, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Bastrop, Georgetown, and the surrounding Hill Country. We’re happy to travel further across Texas for the right project. Reach out and let’s talk.

Why Maas Verde

We’re the right choice for property owners who want a landscape that’s genuinely designed for this environment, built with ecological integrity, and maintained to perform for years. Every project gets a real site evaluation, a custom plan, and a crew that takes the work seriously.
