Many yards are very sloped and homeowners want to have a level area for lawn space or in this case a playground. What better way to make this happen than using what Mother Nature provides?! We dig these boulders up and with a little creativity (plus a big sledge hammer) we build these beautiful natural retaining walls. We used a combination of cut stone (also known as chopped block) and natural boulders to build a level area where kids could play.

Fountains add the soothing sound of running water to your landscape. Butterflies and birds love these fountains.

A perfect spot to enjoy the waterside views. Plantings of Vardar Valley Boxwood, Autumn Bride Coral Bell, Dwarf Summer sweet, Inkberry and Ornamental Grasses are used around the patio. These selections bring evergreen foliage, fragrance and movement to the setting.

We took Texas native (adapted) plants and added a splash of elegance to give this front entry the luxury feel it deserves. We had to pick plants that would survive the brutal Texas heat as well as the hungriest whitetail deer in Texas.The deer were relentless and we had to use natural deterrents (plants that deer are supposed to hate) along with man made products (like deer netting).

This project was in the planning stages for several years for a complete landscape master plan that included a 6000 ft2 Unilock Umbriano driveway designed to accommodate parking for vehicles and create a grand entryway to the front door. Matured plantings from Oregon were brought in that included 20ft tall weeping Alaskan cedar, 6ft tall green mountain boxwood cones, 4-inch camber, tri-color beach, and other unique planting to compliment the architecture of the home.
