Luxury landscape design · Texas Hill Country A master plan for the whole property.

A good plan starts on foot. We walk the property to read the slope, the views, the sun, the mature trees and the way water moves when it rains. We also listen to how you want to live outside: where you drink your morning coffee, how many people you host, and what you want to see from the kitchen window. The plan grows out of those two conversations.

The master plan puts everything on one sheet: pool, terraces, structures, walkways, planting, lighting and irrigation. Seeing it all together means decisions get made once, in the right order. It also lets you build in phases if you want to, knowing that each piece will fit the next.

You can see a few of our concept drawings on the home page. Once the design is agreed, our engineering and construction work follows directly from it, so what gets built matches what was drawn.

Hill Country planting has to survive thin soil over limestone, long dry summers, hard freezes and browsing deer. Planting design here is mostly a question of choosing what will thrive with the site rather than fight it. Done well, the result is a landscape that needs less water and less work as it matures, and that still looks settled in the heat of August.

Protecting existing live oaks is part of the same thinking. Their root zones can extend well past the canopy, so we design grading, walls and pool work around them from the start.

Arrival matters as much as the backyard. Many of our projects include a front courtyard designed alongside the pool, along with sunken gardens, fountain courtyards, putting greens and sport courts. Some are landscape-only commissions with no pool at all, covering site work, drainage, planting and lighting.
