One of our landscapes was recently the cover story for Austin Home Magazine’s Land + Water Issue, featuring a vegetable garden of 22 cedar raised beds that we designed and installed. We planted gorgeous pollinators in with the veggies. Planting pollinator-friendly plants alongside vegetables is a smart and natural way to boost your garden’s productivity. Flowers like basil, borage, calendula, and zinnias attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects that help fertilize your crops by transferring pollen from bloom to bloom. This increased pollination leads to better yields, healthier plants, and a more vibrant, biodiverse garden. Plus, the mix of flowers and veggies creates a beautiful, balanced ecosystem right in your own backyard.

Our team fabricated this custom circular steel planter bench, which was proudly featured in the article. The planter is filled with rosemary and a thoughtful selection of pollinator-friendly plants, creating a functional and beautiful gathering space that supports biodiversity while adding texture, fragrance, and ecological value to the landscape.

Check out our project at one of our favorite restaurants, Sway!

We designed and installed the garden in their upstairs bar and lounge. It's just down the street and not only is the food DELICIOUS, but the view is one of the best in town!

This project in Blanco—Domaine de la Vigne—is a stunning 50-acre property that includes a vineyard and will soon feature a beautifully designed tasting room. We were honored to create and install the botanical design for this spectacular garden, thoughtfully integrating plantings that complement the natural landscape and enhance the experience of this remarkable place.

We’re incredibly proud of our Design Studio—one of our very first large-scale projects has had such a celebrated and successful outcome! We've heard the garden is thriving beautifully, with an abundance of fresh food ready to harvest. It’s deeply rewarding to see our work come to life in such a meaningful way.

Installation Services & Maintennce

Our Design Installation Team brought this garden to life with careful, intentional planting, while the botanical design was thoughtfully created by our in-house Design Studio. We used Ocean Forest potting soil to ensure a rich, nutrient-dense foundation for healthy growth, and each plant was installed with close attention to detail. Butterflies began landing the moment the plants arrived—an early sign that this garden would become a thriving, pollinator-friendly haven.
