The summer is actually a great time to start a landscape design project.
'But it's too hot to plant anything!!!'
Duh.
We're not saying we'll start your install as soon as you call us, but good design takes time and planning. So if we start dreaming together now, you'll be in landscape design heaven come this fall when you actually WANT to sit outside.
Don't wait til the weather is perfect to start, start now.

For this project, we designed these natural stone stairs to move with the terrain and feel as though they’ve always been here. Strong, timeless, and grounded in the landscape itself.
But we also wanted them to stop you in your tracks.
So we custom fabricated this steel railing in-house to act as both function and sculpture. The contrast of raw steel against natural stone creates something that feels rugged, elevated, and completely unique to this property.
This is what we love most about what we do. Blending craftsmanship, engineering, and nature into spaces that feel intentional from every angle.

Most yards in Texas start as the same (cough boring, cough) sod. Functional? Sure. Memorable? Not exactly.

The right landscape design transforms a yard from something you mow into something people slow down to admire. Layers of native plants, movement, texture, and thoughtful outdoor living spaces turn an ordinary lawn into the view the whole neighborhood wishes they had.

Let's design your yard to be something all your neighbors love! Contact us for your quote via link in our bio.

A pollinator garden does more than make your yard beautiful. It creates a living ecosystem that gives back to the earth. Native, drought-friendly plants provide food and shelter for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other vital pollinators that keep our environment thriving.
Even better, these gardens are built for Central Texas. They use less water, require less maintenance, and stay resilient through our intense summers while bringing movement, life, and color to your landscape year-round.
When you plant for pollinators, you’re not just designing a yard. You’re helping restore balance to the place we call home.

Turns out your backyard can do more than hold a grill and slowly dying grass.
Outdoor saunas, cold plunges, and showers aren’t just trendy wellness buzzwords. They create spaces that actually pull you outside and make your home feel like a retreat instead of another place you answer emails.
Better circulation. Stress relief. Recovery. Improved sleep.
And yes, your friends will absolutely think you’ve become some kind of wellness influencer.
But honestly? We’re okay with that.
At the end of the day, we believe your land should be lived in. Your outdoor space should make your life better, not just look pretty from the kitchen window.
If you’re going to invest in your home, you might as well create a space you actually want to experience every day.

Landscape design is so much more than picking out pretty plants. A truly well-designed landscape requires an understanding of horticulture, drainage, grading, soil composition, irrigation, lighting, hardscape construction, ecology, and how people actually want to live in a space.
At Mathis Designs, we approach every project as artists, builders, and horticulturists. We study how the sun moves across your property, how water flows, what plants will actually thrive long term in Central Texas, and how every material will age over time.
Then we bring it to life ourselves. We design it, build it, weld it, plant it, and install it. From custom steel fabrication to native planting plans to the stonework beneath your feet, every detail is intentionally crafted by our team.
Because the best landscapes are not just beautiful the day they’re installed. They are living systems designed to grow more beautiful year after year.

A lot of what we do goes far beyond planting.
At the core of every great landscape is structure. The walls that hold a grade change naturally into place. The pathways that guide movement through the property. The steel edging, stairs, patios, and terraces that give the landscape rhythm, function, and permanence.
Hardscape is not separate from landscape design. It is what allows the landscape to fully come alive.
Because we design and build both together, every detail feels intentional from the very beginning. Materials relate back to the architecture. Elevation changes feel natural. Plantings soften and interact with the built elements instead of feeling added on afterward.
When different teams handle the design, build, and hardscape separately, spaces often lose cohesion. But when it’s all considered as one complete vision, the result feels seamless.
The strongest landscapes are not just planted. They are built with purpose.
