With my expertise, your yard can be transformed into a beautiful and more usable space that can give you years of enjoyment. This portfolio shows yards before and after design implementation. Many of the “after” photos were taken immediately following installation, when plants had not yet matured. Soon they will be thriving, fully mature landscapes.
Behrens Ranch Neighborhood, Round Rock
This Behrens Ranch client wanted to remove all the grass in their backyard to create a low maintenance area with easier access to the entire yard. A priority for this client was creating a large raised vegetable area on the sunny side of their house where they can easily garden throughout the seasons. We achieved a combination of practicality and beauty throughout their yard and raised the beds to hide the foundation of their home. We also connected their rainwater basins to drip irrigation that will use rainwater to irrigate their yard.
Hidden Glen Neighborhood, Round Rock
This client has a very shady yard and the St. Augustine grass was dying in areas due to low light and water. They wanted more designated areas for kids to play, walkable access to the side gates, and a more beautiful backyard experience for friends and family to gather. We also planted shade-loving grasses and perennials that will thrive in these conditions.
Forest Creek Neighborhood, Round Rock
This client’s goal was to extend their entertainment space to accommodate more groups of people and eliminate the dying grass due to shade and water stress. We created a crushed granite sitting area edged with Corten steel. We also added a linear walkway to bring a slightly contemporary feel to their backyard. Shade-loving evergreens and perennials soften the area and bring color and wildlife to their backyard. As an added bonus, we added a beautiful water feature near their patio to bring a relaxing sound that blocks the street noise behind.
