A Design install is always exciting!
The result of this front yard has been stunning; with all these plants growing to maturity coming few years, it’ll be such a lush space to enjoy every day!

This client has a beautiful home and requested to transform their ‘bare’ rock garden into a Lush Garden in Mediterranean style.

This is the Design I came up with.
(pictures show before and after)
Grounds Guys in Georgetown installed it;
what a teamwork!

Client is very satisfied with the work done! ✅👏🏻🤩👌🏻. Up to the next happy resident!

One of the projects we’re working on designing; a luxurious backyard in Round Rock.

It has an extended home room and large covered patio with retractable shades/screens, outdoor kitchen, fireplace and seating, pool with spa, sunbath chairs, extra shaded seating area,
lawn game strip and sportscourt.

Oh, and VERY low maintenance plants that are non-messy evergreens that barely need work 🥂👏🏻

Beautiful soace

This big project is coming along! After finalizing the front if the property, it’s now time for the back!
Golf greens and a Victorian Greenhouse with Kitchen Gardens, pathways and plant pockets will be on the menu, together with beautifying the home’s surrounding and filling the large stone planters with new vegetation.

It’s gonna be great!

My next review is from a nice and respectful guy in Austin.
His request was to help him fill his existing plant beds as he was hesitating in choosing the right plants and locations.

Plants are very tricky and can be very specific.
Most have specific water needs, sun/shade needs, and even the PH-needs can be specific; some need more acidic soil, others more alkaline. And then you have their specific size in height and width AND their different green tones and bloom colors. Oh, and did I mention bloom season?
This all can be very overwhelming t plan out your garden beds!

But...we're here to help!!!

Andy was very happy with our guidance and very much liked the outcome! The raised Herb Garden box with pathway to the driveway got added to the design and finished it all off!

Thank you for your kind words as well, Andy!

Time for some updates....
I've reached my 100th Design project!
And I still LOVE what I do; work together with residents and businesses to create an outdoor space they love!

I'm always happy to see my clients have taken some time to express their satisfaction on their design process in public; this helps us to show we can be fully trusted and relied on, plus that a Design process with us is not overwhelming at all, but very fun and helps take away the worries that are lingering!

This review is from past winter, a lovely younger couple with little kid, a big backyard to enjoy!
