Since 1998 · Native Plants · Xeriscape · Hill Country Palette · Austin Water Compliant
Hill Country-native species. Drought-tolerant by design. Selected for the actual soil pH, exposure, and water restrictions on your property.
Xeriscape and water-wise planting palettes that comply with Austin water rules while still reading as lush, not gravel-and-cactus minimalism.
We plant for what the yard will look like in year five, not for the day the crew leaves.
Plantings should look better at year five than they did the day they went in. That's the test of a real design. We've been planting in Austin since 1998, and the only plantings we put in the ground are the ones we'd plant in our own yards.
Our planting designs start with the property, soil pH, exposure, mature tree canopy, drainage pattern, water-restriction zone. Every plant is selected for survival first, beauty second. The good news: in Central Texas, the two go together.
Live oaks. Cedar elms. Texas mountain laurels. Salvias, agastaches, native grasses, agaves, prickly pear, Texas sage. The palette is wide, the maintenance is light, and the August heat is a feature of the design, not a fight against it.
When the install is finished, our maintenance division can keep the planting alive through the establishment years. Most of our planting clients move onto that plan because the first three summers are where most other people's designs die.
The default palette for most of our planting work. Live oak, cedar elm, redbud, mountain laurel, salvia, agastache, native grasses. Low water, high seasonal interest, mature beautifully.
For homeowners specifically aligned to Austin's tightest water restrictions. Agave, prickly pear, yucca, native grasses, decomposed granite ground cover. Permitted water use, year-round structure.
Native species in a contemporary planting pattern. Mass plantings, rhythmic spacing, architectural plant choice. Reads modern without leaving the regional palette.
Native and adapted perennials for homeowners who want bloom, butterfly, and bee activity. Salvia, lantana, kidneywood, autumn sage, milkweed. Designed for sequenced bloom from March through November.
Central Texas water restrictions tighten every drought cycle. Lawns that drank twelve months a year in 1998 can no longer be watered the way they used to be, and the next decade is going to bring more rules, not fewer. We design with that future in mind.
Native and adapted plants. Smart irrigation zoned for actual demand. Mulching strategies that hold soil moisture through August. The yards we build will still comply with the rules ten years from now. That's not luck. That's design.
"They put in a native planting bed five summers ago. We've watered it twice. Once during the first establishment summer, and once during the freak heatwave last year. It looks better every year."

"I wanted a yard that didn't look like every other yard in Lakeway. They gave me a Hill Country palette that the architect approved on the first review."

"Honest design. They told me which of my existing plants would survive and which wouldn't. The honest read saved us three thousand dollars."

Call the OfficePlanting projects typically run $15,000 to $80,000+ depending on scope, plant size, and soil amendment needs. Full-yard re-plantings can exceed $100,000.
Yes. Xeriscape design is one of our planting palettes. We build it for homeowners who want the lowest possible water demand and the tightest compliance with Austin water rules.
Yes. Mature trees are an asset we plant around, not a problem we work against. We map your existing canopy and design the new planting beds for the actual sun pattern.
Yes, on most projects above $30,000. Soil pH, drainage, and existing root systems all affect the design. We test before we specify.
Most native plantings look fully established by year three. By year five, they're indistinguishable from a planting that's been there for decades.
Yes. Our maintenance division handles seasonal pruning, irrigation tuning, mulching, and replacement of any plant that doesn't establish in the first year.
Hill Country plants. Austin water rules. The same crew that installed them keeps them alive.
