Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates functional outdoor spaces that harmonize with Central Texas ecosystems. We integrate native plants, sustainable materials, and water-efficient systems to create beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes. The process begins with site analysis, soil testing, and client consultation to develop customized plans that balance aesthetics with ecological responsibility.
Erosion Control
We implement comprehensive erosion control solutions using both technical and ecological approaches. Our methods include silt fences, mulch socks, riprap installation, and native vegetation planting to stabilize soil and prevent water pollution. Each plan considers site-specific factors like soil type, water flow patterns, and vegetation requirements for long-term effectiveness.
Native Planting
Our native planting service focuses on species adapted to Central Texas conditions. We select drought-tolerant plants that require minimal irrigation while supporting local biodiversity. The process includes soil preparation, plant selection based on light and moisture conditions, and implementation of maintenance plans to ensure long-term plant health and ecosystem benefits.
Stormwater Management
We design stormwater management systems that reduce flooding risks while enhancing landscape functionality. Our solutions include rain gardens, French drains, and catchment systems that direct water flow to benefit plant growth. These systems improve water quality by filtering pollutants before reaching local waterways while reducing property drainage issues.
Landscape Construction
Our construction services cover hardscaping elements like decks, pergolas, masonry work, and steel fabrication. We integrate these features with living elements to create cohesive outdoor spaces. Projects include grading, material installation, and finishing touches that complement both natural surroundings and architectural styles while ensuring long-term durability.
