Garden design

We design gardens that look good in August, not just in April. That means native and adapted plants, good soil, smart irrigation and layouts that are easy to maintain.

Our process

How we handle garden design

  1. Consult

    We walk the space with you, talk about how you use it, and look at sun, drainage and soil.

  2. Concept

    You get a simple layout and plant palette, with a clear, itemized estimate.

  3. Install

    Beds are prepared, amended, planted and mulched, with drip irrigation where it makes sense.

  4. Settle in

    We check in through the first growing season and adjust watering as plants establish.

FAQ

Garden design questions

Can’t see your question? Browse all FAQs or ask us.

Do you only use native plants?

We lean native and adapted, because those plants handle Austin heat, drought and soil best. We’ll happily include a few favorites that aren’t native if they suit the spot.

Can you work with HOA rules?

Yes. Share your HOA guidelines and we’ll design within them and help you prepare a submission if one is needed.

Is the design fee credited?

In this example pricing, the consultation fee is credited toward installation if you go ahead with us within 60 days.
