Six ways we work with a property.
Most projects use several of these together. A few clients come to us for just one. Either way, the same team carries the work from drawing to finished garden.
Master planning for the whole property.
Before anything is built, we work out how the entire property should function — grading, sightlines, and how each outdoor room connects to the next.
- Site analysis: drainage, sun, existing trees, and soil
- Concept plans and a full materials and planting palette
- Coordination with your architect or builder
- A phased budget, so the project can be built in stages if needed
Planting plans built for Central Texas.
Not a generic plant list — a layered design suited to your soil, sun, and the way you want the garden to feel through the year.
- Layered planting: canopy, understory, and groundcover
- A mix of native and adapted species chosen for your site
- Seasonal interest planned across bloom times
- A plant palette that stays realistic to maintain
Built for how you actually entertain.
Kitchens, fire features, pergolas, and shaded seating, sized and placed for a quiet weeknight dinner as easily as a yard full of neighbors.
- Outdoor kitchens and dining structures
- Fire pits and fireplaces
- Pergolas, arbors, and shade structures
- Lighting design for evening use
Installed and watered to actually thrive.
Efficient irrigation, zoned by what each plant needs, so the garden matures well without the water bill creeping up alongside it.
- Soil preparation and amendment for Central Texas conditions
- Professional planting and staking
- Drip irrigation zoned by plant water need
- Smart controllers with seasonal adjustment
Built to hold its line for decades.
Limestone, travertine, and steel — patios, walls, and steps that are meant to still look right long after the plants have filled in around them.
- Limestone and travertine patios and walkways
- Retaining and seat walls
- Steps and grade transitions on sloped lots
- Steel and wood structural elements
Keeping a design looking the way it was drawn.
A garden's first few years determine how it settles in. We stay involved so the planting and hardscape mature the way they were designed to.
- Pruning and bed maintenance
- Irrigation checks and seasonal adjustments
- Seasonal color rotation where appropriate
- Honest recommendations as a garden matures
