Austin Yard Builder

Austin Yard Builder handles masonry and concrete work out of Hutto, Texas. Miguel runs the crew and takes on stone patios, flagstone installs, paver patios, pergolas, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, hardscape, and masonry repairs across Austin and nearby spots like Georgetown, Round Rock, and Leander. They build new outdoor structures and fix existing ones that have settled, cracked, or failed.

Customers call them for patio extensions that replace old decks or uneven concrete, stone walls to hide equipment or box in mulch, pergola covers with panels, rock gardens that block weeds, and quick fixes on columns or walkways. Miguel and Justin have turned basic ideas into designs that handle drainage problems, level shifts, and tight budgets. Crews have removed slippery tile, poured new pads, laid matching limestone, and added details like lights or steps while keeping the site clean each day.

Miguel answers calls fast, sends estimates the same day, and works with homeowners on price and material choices like picking flagstone at vendors. His team starts early, stays until the job is done right, shows up on time, and keeps the property respected. They cover the Austin area and handle both big backyard renovations and small repairs without shortcuts.

Reviews give them a 4.9 rating with recurring praise for craftsmanship, attention to detail, fair pricing, and clear updates throughout each project.

“We recently had Miguel build a stone wall/enclosure to hide our pool equipment. He did an excellent job. Great craftsmanship and eye for detail. He had great communication throughout the build and responded quickly if there were any questions. We would highly recommend for any our door project.”

“When we began our project we had some very basic ideas of what we wanted and we had some minor challenges with the existing layout. While other builders we spoke to focused on what they couldn't do, Miguel was completely focused on what could be done to accomplish what we had in mind. With his great attention to detail, creativity and ingenuity, he came up with a beautiful design that exceeded our expectations. Miguel is excellent at communication. He kept us well informed and worked closely with us throughout the project. His crews are true craftsmen who go above and beyond to do a beautiful job. Not only do they do beautiful and quality work, they also spent time at the end of each day to completely clean up the space before leaving. We could not be happier with the complete transformation of our backyard thanks to Miguel and his team. We highly recommend Austin Yard Builder and will be reaching out to them for projects in the future.”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Justin and Miguel on a backyard renovation project, and we are thrilled with the results. The team was professional, responsive, and skilled throughout the entire process. First, the team took the time to understand our requirements for the space and provided helpful suggestions and design ideas. They were patient and thorough, answering all of our questions and concerns along the way. Once we finalized the design, the construction phase began. The team worked efficiently and kept the worksite clean and organized and were respectful of our property. The final product exceeded our expectations. The patio and pergola are beautiful, sturdy, and functional. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the project, from the quality of the materials to the craftsmanship of the installation. Overall, I highly recommend Justin and Miguel for any backyard renovation project. They are a talented and professional team who truly care about delivering high-quality results that exceed their clients' expectations.”

“Miguel is the easiest, most professional contractor I've dealt with. He worked with me, travelling to multiple rock vendors to pick the perfect flagstone for our 1000 square foot patio. His team worked through the hottest week of the summer to get the job done, and yet, no shortcuts were taken. I'll be calling him for my next project.”

“We used Austin Yard Builder to modify our backyard planters and extend our patio, and the entire project went very smoothly. Miguel was especially helpful in solving challenges along the way, and he was a pleasure to work with throughout the process.”

“Miguel and his men have now done 3 projects for us--a retaining wall, a rock garden with a ground cover that will *actually* keep the weeds away, and, most recently, a limestone wall to box the mulch for our playground. His prices have always been fair and reasonable each time, and they have always done such a great job. Will definitely be calling Austin Yard Builder for future projects.”

“Outstanding in every way! The project grew as we went along because Miguel and his crew were true artisans and willing to tackle anything. Communication was excellent and he checked frequently to see if I was happy before they proceeded to the next phase. They removed and expanded my patio with proper new concrete pad and cut limestone, with incredible attention to detail. They also replaced slippery tile on my front porch with matching stone and completely replaced the short walk that had cracked through. This crew was also able to solve an issue with a focal point garden shed that had shifted out of level on its granite pad, something that nobody else would even touch (I'd called foundation companies, but the job was too small for them). That involved jacking up the building and building proper supports beneath. They integrated it beautifully to the new patio, repainted it, and got the doors able to close properly again. We also removed a bunch of water hog grass and put in decomposed granite paths and a big new planting bed. It was a huge project, many weeks, with lots of debris and mess, but at the end it's spotless. I have the nickname "Picky Vickie" and Austin Yard Build”

“Miguel and his team are amazing, he and his crew never cease to amaze me. I refer all my friends and family to him. His team has completed two jobs for me, one required masonry the other was burying my gutter overflow so it didn’t collect near my house and under my fence. He is a true professional and by far the most reasonably priced. Miguel will advise me to get the end result I’m looking for. His crew is clean and friendly. They show up on time and consistently produce spectacular work. I will most definitely call him again for my next project. He’s responsive, produces high quality work that stands the test of time and clearly takes pride in what he does. The hype is real, call or text Miguel he is the best.”

“Miguel and his crew just completed a large outdoor kitchen project for us. From the time he came to bid the job, I got the feeling he would work hard on our project and give us a fair price. He never let me down. They installed 1,000 SF of all natural stone that we had collected on our property over the last few years. The results were incredible. They are artists with stone. I would recommend Miguel for any project that needs quality masonry at reasonable prices.”

“Great experience! They added over 300sf to our small existing concrete patio. They removed an old wooden deck and we started over to create a larger patio. Using all concrete with beautiful pavers, covered pergula with polygal panels. They built 2 stone bartop sections along with rounded corner steps. They are very easy to work with and the projected evolved from a small vision at the start. Miguel was so patient and worked with us the entire project. This group get's it done! We love our new extended house! They put in new landscaping stone walls in our our front yard that look fantastic also. Definitely will use them again on future projects!! Becky V”

“We needed two short columns repaired on my house and had called around to several masonry contractors. Either they didn't have the time or the job was too small. We finally contacted Miguel by phone and he asked me to send him pictures of the job we needed done. He got back with us quickly with a reasonable price. His team showed up Saturday morning at around 9 am and was done by 11 am. His team did a fantastic job. They were professional and paid attention to detail. We are thoroughly satisfied with Miguel and his team and will use them in the future as well as recommend him to others in need of his services.”

“I cannot recommend Miguel and his crew from Austin Yard enough; they completed my job in a timely and accurate manner. The job site was cleaned every day and his entire team were absolute professionals and very polite. I have already received several inquiries from people in my neighborhood because his work looks so good. Please look no further for another mason, Miguel can be trusted to do an incredible job. It can be very difficult to find someone who does good, fair and reliable work and I am so happy that I found Miguel and Austin Yard!”

“We contacted Miguel as well as several other companies to extend our patio and add a pergola. A few didn't even bother to call me back. Miguel was quick to respond, provided a quick turnaround time with his estimate and was willing to work with us regarding our budget. Once we agreed on the price he was able to start in a few days, he and his crew always showed up as promised, worked from about 7:30 AM to 6ish PM every day and his communication was outstanding. The finished product was amazing! He ended up doing more detail and effort then I thought of. His ideas were exactly what we had in mind and now that the project is over we could not thing of one single complaint. We highly recommend Miguel and his crew for any masonry and pergola work as we could not have asked for a better product combined with his competitive pricing.”

“Miguel took about 10 minutes to look at my yard, draw on a piece of paper an example of what I wanted done, and emailed me a 3D image that night, showing what my new patio/pergola would look like and measurements. From there, I was impressed! His attention to detail was second to none, very hands on and worked with me on price. So far I've emailed my sister and 4 of my friends his contact info. I highly recommend Miguel. Rob”

“We are so pleased that we chose Austin Yard Builders to redo our walkway and flowerbed! They were able to create the design I really wanted for a very reasonable price. The original path to the house laid by the builder was basic concrete; it had settled in some spots and wasn’t draining properly. Since my father uses a wheelchair, we needed a path that was very even and more accessible. Miguel and his team were able to do a curving brick path that slopes from our doorway down to the sidewalk, which has held up well and drains properly. It was a huge upgrade to the house’s appearance and accessibility. I really can’t recommend them enough!”

“We had a major problem with a prior contractor that laid a masonry flower bed wall so poorly it fell over in the first week! I called Miguel and he was able to fix it within days of providing a fair estimate. We could not be happier with his work! In fact, every time I pull up to my house, the wall looks like it was always there. Miguel's communication is A+ and his crew(s) are true craftsman. Highly Recommended!!!”

“When I first moved into my new home I had Miguel come out and do an estimate on our patio. At the time it wasn't within my budget to afford anyone to build a patio for me. I decided to do a DIY project. My patio was uneven and I used polysand for the spaces between the rocks. This did not work and the sand was making a mess. The dogs kept tracking the sand into the house. This is really hard work and takes some skill to do. I decided that I was going to get someone to fix my patio. Miguel came out and started working right away. He also put in a fire pit to replace the one I had made. I realize that it's not worth trying to save a buck when it comes to your backyard. His design and creativity shows he is talented in what he does. Miguel's team was respectful, courteous, and they work hard. I'm grateful for Miguel and his team. I would recommend him for any backyard work.”

“Miguel Rosas and his crew were GREAT. It was a small job, but they were super responsive and professional. I needed to replace our house numbers, because they might as well have not been there. In a couple of texts I described the 'monument' I wanted, and they came out and in a day built something which looks even better than I imagined. They also installed the new house numbers for me, and took away the old pile of rocks with the old numbers on it. Now anyone coming here can find my address, and it blends in perfectly with our house and the neighborhood. I have no hesitation in recommending Austin Yard Builder, and the next time I have any masonry work to do, Miguel will be my first call.”

“They just completed a patio and pergola for our backyard. Miguel & his crew are amazing. Our patio and pergola are beautiful and we really appreciated their attention to detail. They even added lights at the end. We've never had a better experience working with a contractor.”

“Miguel responded quickly to my phone calls. He made sure that my yard was cleaned up after the job. The finished patio looked great! The price he quoted me was by no means out of this world. It was well worth it and I'll have no problems calling him back again for our next project. It's nice to find someone like Miguel that you don't have to worry about putting the screws to you and does great work.”
