Hardscapes
Hardscapes form the backbone of outdoor spaces, providing structure, functionality, and visual interest.
From patios and pathways to retaining walls and custom stonework, our hardscape designs elevate landscapes with clean lines, enduring materials, and a seamless connection to the natural environment.
Each feature is crafted to harmonize with the surrounding elements, creating spaces that are both functional and timeless.
Low-Water Garden Spaces
In a region where water conservation is paramount, we specialize in designing low-water gardens that thrive without compromise. At the heart of our approach is soil remediation, a critical component of planting success.
Whether working in the dense clay soils of East Austin or the rocky terrain of the Hill Country, we improve soil structure to enhance water absorption and enrich mineral content, laying the foundation for healthy, sustainable landscapes.
By carefully selecting drought-tolerant plants and implementing sustainable irrigation systems, we create lush, vibrant gardens that flourish with minimal upkeep. These spaces embody a harmonious blend of beauty, environmental responsibility, and thoughtful design, tailored perfectly to Austin’s unique climate.

Poolside Landscaping
A well-designed pool area invites relaxation and entertainment, and our poolside landscaping transforms these spaces into elevated outdoor havens. Thoughtful plant selection plays a key role, softening the edges of the pool while minimizing leaf litter to reduce maintenance and keep the water pristine.
From lush custom plantings that provide privacy and shade to hardscapes that seamlessly balance functionality with style, we craft connections between the pool, the landscape, and the home.
The result is an effortless, refined oasis tailored to your lifestyle—beautiful, low-maintenance, and undeniably yours.
