Native plants are naturalized, or adapted to conditions that are present in a geological location. They are suited to the local climate and soil conditions. In North America, a plant is considered native if it existed in a location pre-colonization. So for hundreds of years, native plants have flourished without help from people; without sprinkler systems, fertilizers, and pesticides. Texas native plants are adapted to our hot, dry summers, so in your landscape they can thrive in these conditions with little input from you.

First will look at your watering habits and those of your neighbors. Then we look to see if we can direct the rainwater to a rain garden and/or put in rain barrels for later use. If you need a French drain, we can design that for you.

A retaining wall is a structure that provides stability and retains soil behind it, usually built on sloping land. Retaining walls can be constructed out of many types of materials, like poured concrete or blocks, bricks, natural rock or boulders.

Simply put, a rain garden is a depression, or swale, in the landscape that collects and stores rain water, allowing it to infiltrate the soil and not run off your property. Planted with the right plants that can thrive in both wet and dry conditions, a rain garden can add beauty and interest to your landscape year round. Looking at the bigger picture, rain gardens reduce storm water runoff and allow for groundwater systems to recharge. This also reduces your need to irrigate your garden, saving water, money, and effort.
