**★★★★★ — First Last, July 2020**

> Complete re-model of front yard.  Created a story from curb to front door and down side of back yard, which is visible from street.  Process from start to finish was exactly as described.  Design to Budget to Execution were transparent and done with extremely skilled labor.  This project required exact measurements for steel and stone cutting for custom fence and walkway.  The project has transformed how the home looks and how we now live within our property.  I would absolutely recommend Seedlings for someone who wants to do a significant  change to an outdoor space, especially if it involves more than simple landscaping.  This project required:  design and fabrication of custom fence and gate; installation of special art panels; stone path work; sensitivity to neighbors and property lines; and landscape, irrigation and lighting work.

**★★★★★ — Eden Garden Design, July 2019**

> Seedlings Gardening is an impressive gardening team!  Liz runs a professional operation and they are all so conscientious and qualified.  We are a landscape design/build firm and have referred Seedlings to many of our clients for long-term maintenance and other projects over the years.  They design and install high quality, eco-friendly landscapes as well.  Our clients are consistently thrilled with their work!  We can't say enough good things about them.

**★★★★★ — Bianca Vance, March 2019**

> Couldn’t be more pleased with our new backyard! We moved back to Texas and wanted a design that reminded us of our California home, and that is exactly what Liz and the crew did! They are absolute rockstars—communicated throughout the entire process from start to finish. Liz walked us through the design and was very straightforward about cost while staying within our budget.  The crew was incredibly friendly—that Texas hospitality we have missed so much!
>
> Highly recommend. We’ve received countless compliments on our new space, and we absolutely love it.

**★★★★★ — Tamara Scott, June 2018**

> The staff at Seedlings Gardening are great. They are all very friendly, knowledgable, creative and most importantly they really listen. They do bi-weekly maintenance for us and most recently we had them design and rehab a backyard pool area and courtyard. They did an awesome job! They were prompt and efficient. During the process the owner did a walkthrough with me before finishing the job and based on my feedback made some changes that gave me exactly what I was looking for. In addition, for what they do and the care they give, they are very reasonably priced. I give Seedlings the very highest recommendation!

**★★★★★ — Samantha Vermillion, Nov. 2017**

> We contacted Seedlings who was recommended by a friend of ours who is a home designer.  We are very pleased with their work.  They were accommodating to our budget, very knowledgable and are thorough communicators.  We plan to do a stage two of our plan next spring and wouldn't call anyone else.

**★★★★★ — Beth Thompson, May 2017**

> We hired Seedlings Gardening last year to do a complete overhaul of our entire backyard, and we can't say enough about their service and performance.  First, Liz took the time to listen to our ideas and she really got our vision, and then she put it to paper even better than it was in our imagination.  Matt and his team were dependable, timely, and completely professional during the installation.  It was a total transformation!  We feel like we are at a resort at our home in the middle of suburbia.  We have since hired Seedlings for maintenance, and hired them again this year for phase two of the landscape and hardscape installation.  I really can't recommend them enough!

  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: We were contacted to design and build an outdoor kitchen and deck for the clients to enjoy their space to the fullest and to relax with full views of the beautiful hill country around them. We created a magnificent ipe deck to lounge and dine on by the pool under the shade of their large Live Oak. The space flows into a lowered gravel seating area and is surrounded by tiered steel planters. The kitchen was designed to be on the steepest part of the property with an open look to take in the drama…
- [Exeter](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exeter-pj-vj~6094486)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: With this project, we removed a concrete and decomposed granite patio area and then dug out along the house to help with water and erosion that was building up on the foundation. We pulled out all the soil, sloped everything away from the house and created drainage so the water would drain around the house and down the hill. We then laid out and poured the concrete bench and catelevered out the redwood portion. Next, we scraped up the yard, re-laid the sod and created bed spaces. Finally, we put…
- [Brentwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brentwood-pj-vj~2491011)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: We started working with our friends over in the Brentwood neighborhood in 2016 when they wanted to clean up their side yard with a quick change of gravel. Once a consultation was set up ideas started flowing on the true potential of their side space and we decided to define a seating area with some beautiful Lueders Limestone. This with the contrast of the black gravel created a visually appealing and inviting patio to enjoy with company. Six months later we met again, this time it was over some…
- [Shoal Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shoal-creek-pj-vj~2478465)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: Our client at Shoal Creek is an architect that needed help creating their vision, so they provided the ideas and we helped form those into a design. While the house was still in construction we went in to put together a collection of sustainable plants for, not only a stunning exterior, but something that could be viewed and admired from the inside.
- [Fortview](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fortview-pj-vj~1790378)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: When the residents at Fortview first moved in, they sought after something different than the full bermuda grass their new house came with. They came to us wanting more of a grassy, beach-like feel with some slight cover from the street. We put in a colorful array of flowering shrubs, mexican feather grass, succulents and other drought tolerant plants. A large L-shaped planted was made for them to extend off the patio, creating more space and some privacy from the road. On the inside of the plan…
- [Beachmont](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beachmont-pj-vj~2527715)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: Our friends at Circle C were putting in a new pool, and decided they wanted a modern backyard design to match their remodeling. To define a seating area we created a rounded retaining wall with custom made steel edging and formed a patio with a Lueders Limestone design that goes down into a small staircase and pathway leading to the pool. We removed the existing grass, leveled, put new soil and sodded where it was needed, creating a swale around the perimeter of the yard to redirect rain fall an…
- [Glen Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glen-valley-pj-vj~2531713)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: This family wanted a wildlife friendly landscape that incorporated a fire pit area and space for their composting bins. We also added fruit trees to create a little oasis separate from their children's playscape area.
- [South Lamar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-lamar-pj-vj~2531841)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: This was one of our very first projects. This client had an overflow pipe from their rain water cistern that was underground. We created a dry pond around the pipe with a small creek to the side wall to drain out whenever it gets too full. Next, we created some concrete form raised beds and bed spaces with fun plants for wildlife and partial shade.
- [Via Corretto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/via-corretto-pj-vj~5825656)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: This is an enhancement project where we updated the walkways and reworked the areas where grass wouldn't grow. Plants are added and changed out regularly to retain lushness and color. The yard has deep shade issues we addressed as well and trellises have been added to enhance the space, which we maintain regularly.
- [Edwardson](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edwardson-pj-vj~5809621)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: This couple wanted a flat space to put some play gear for the kiddos. Their yard was sloping towards the house and there was just dirt because it was new construction. We had to create space for the water to flow out and around the house. Also, we didn't want to crowd the back patio by putting a wall right up against it. So we built a retaining wall a few feet out and put river rock and sloped the walk between the wall and the patio for the water to flow around the house. Then we filled behind t…
- [Glasgow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glasgow-pj-vj~5809602)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: This home gardener had a long list of plants she wanted to incorporate into her new landscape. They came to us to put together a plan that worked around their needs for patio space, walkways, veggie gardens, grass for the dogs and gardens. We came up with this fun design that meshed her long plant list with a few extra fun details!
- [East 12th Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-12th-street-pj-vj~5809590)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: This project was created for an artist that was building an art studio that could double as a house. The design of the space was very minimal and she wanted a minimal landscape to match. We planted a few focal point plants and played with texture using various sized gravels and ground covers, but mostly kept it very simple.
- [Kodiak](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kodiak-pj-vj~5809564)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: This was a remodel. They had installed a pool and had about two acres in which they wanted a design that incorporated wild space, wildflowers and other plants for wildlife. We did a lot with water runoff and created two creeks on the property to guide water and help with some of the pooling and erosion they were experiencing. We used a lot of different types of stone in the creeks to create a more natural look. In the wild space we added several trees to replace ones lost in the drought. Then in…
- [Frederick](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/frederick-pj-vj~5809440)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: In this South Congress area yard, we removed all of the gravel in the backyard and created a whimsical design space. The door/gate and brick patio already existed but the rest of the yard was simply gravel. We scooped out all the gravel and started by spreading and tilling compost. Then, we planted shade friendly plants around an Oklahoma Patio Stone walkway which utilizes river rock from an existing feature. Lights were repaired and adjusted to highlight the new setup. In the nook by the back d…
- [Lorrain St.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lorrain-st-pj-vj~5799279)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: The yard has several large live oaks that block most of the light. They had grass and plants that weren't looking good due to the lack of light. The client wanted a lush green garden. I designed a yard that combined some of the modern elements of the house with some old south style to go along with this very old Austin style house.
- [Finley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/finley-pj-vj~5798739)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: Designed by Green Eye Studios, this was a remodel done by Barley Pfeiffer Architects. The yard grading needed to be changed because the house had flooded in the past and the backyard sloped towards the house. Green Eye Studios designed a retaining wall of limestone quary blocks (the big stones) and 8" limestone dry stack. We graded everything between the house and the retaining walls with a 1" drop for every 4' so that the water would quickly run away from the house. We installed a french drain…
- [River Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-hills-pj-vj~5696087)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: This client came to us wanting to add plants to their beds. When the wife mentioned that she hated the limestone cliff in their front yard, we decided the best thing to do would be to build up the cliff and add beds above it. We constructed a limestone wall with boulders, incorporating several cubbies to add plants. Down the wall, we also added various varieties of plants to spread across the bed along with some large yuccas, trees and succulents.
- [Regents Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/regents-park-pj-vj~5799243)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: At this Rollingwood property, we created steel terracing down a steep hill to help keep soil from eroding. We also planted butterfly and bee native and adapted plants along with some herbs and fruit trees. Pathways were created with boulders down the hill to make the yard more accessible for children.
- [Buena Vista](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buena-vista-pj-vj~5798879)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: With the rising cost of property taxes, this landlord was struggling to make a profit on his duplex property. He decided to give the interior and exterior of both units a facelift and modernization. We removed the tall fences masking the front yards & installed a lower fence around the front unit to create visibility from the street. We then created some off-street parking with walkways to both units. Around the back unit we constructed a taller fence to hide the views from the other properties.…
- [Payne](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/payne-pj-vj~5798786)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: This design is simple and modern. We put together a lueder pathway by mixing some full sized pieces with some cut lueders we had left over from other projects to save the client some money. We used a combination of different sized gravel of the same color to vary texture for various areas. Finally, we installed a minimal planting plan because the client didn't want much fuss.
