The rainy weather inspired me to drop-in for a quick hello. I am wrapping up a year-long project with a non-profit, designing rainwater collection systems for select homeowners.

We are slowing and sinking rain in shallow depressions and planting them with natives for beautiful gardens, storing excess rain in tanks and cisterns to get a homestead through summer, sexy bio-swales with fluffy grasses to address drainage issues, planting shade trees to offset heat island effect - y’all, this is my love language of sorts.

New talents, new seasons, new moons, and a fall equinox around the corner 🤌 You will have to follow along to watch a new direction emerge, as I lean into the conservation and education side of my love for Mother Earth.

PS - no time for social media, too busy creating thangs, will share on the flip-side 🙃

We used 3D rendering to help our clients select the perfect sculptures - these gorgeous pieces also provide a bit of lighting at night and were the 👌 solution to use in front of the pool equipment wall. We answered the requests for no-mow, natural and native, as well as a needed drainage solution, with a dry-creek bed, plugs of wildflowers and native grasses, and pops of summer color.

Happy Spring Equinox, y’all 🌓 and what a lovely, chilly day here in central Texas. I have enjoyed a hiatus from social media, as well as the many, many hats I wore the last few years.

I found myself managing sales, to design and creative work, to bid, to build, to maintain, and woah. After some painful lessons learned and much needed benchmarking, I realize I am and was CRAZY and AMAZING, as a 1.5-person-team-at-best, for pulling it off. It has taken months upon months but dare I say, I have caught my breath? Maybe.

I have new ventures in the works and staying busy with select design work (to fund said ventures). That being said, there is some new content headed your way and the timing feels right to reemerge and share! 😘

Winter prep time!

Yaupons are fun a word, a delicious snack for overwintering birds, and some varieties are evergreen that make an excellent screen. Bonus: grows well on rock and can also take seasonal flooding. Texas Tough! Oh yea, bright red fall colors

Texas may not have the fall beauty of other regions but I beg you to take notice of the blushing beauties that are mostly wiped out with the urban crawl BUT available to re-plant to recreate the amazing layers of the forest. Yes, central Texas has its own forest layers. Lonely Oaks beg for their companions. Pictured here is a Sumac. Grab every variety you can, especially if you are west of Austin and on a lot of rock (limestone), this is probably a flame-leaf sumac and is STUNNING in the fall, fast-growing, multi-trunk, excellent substitute for a crape myrtle 😍
