Austin Outdoor Studio, llc is a welding and fabrication shop that caters towards modern design for residential and commercial applications.  We have made a name for ourselves building steel planters and installing steel landscaping, however we can do so much more.  We are a full service shop that can tackle just about anything you can throw at us.  We use the latest in fabrication methods to build our projects.  We utilize 3d design software to bring life to the project before any metal has been cut or welded.   We also own and operate a 5′x8′ CNC plasma table allowing us to create almost anything we can draw or scan on the computer.  We are a shop that employs craftsmen who love what they do and still believe in doing quality work.
