Cedar Park, Texas

Your dream garden, built right.

I design and build open outdoor spaces, especially xeriscape gardens that look great and thrive in Texas heat. Bring me your design and I'll make it real, or let me propose ideas for your space.

What is xeriscape?

A garden designed to thrive on little extra water. Done well, it isn't gravel and cactus. It's a full, living yard of native and adapted plants that handles a Central Texas August.

  • Thirsty turf replaced with native and adapted plants
  • Soil prepared and mulched so roots go deep
  • Drip irrigation zoned to each plant group
  • Paths, stone and beds laid out to fit your HOA
  • Help with utility rebate programs for turf conversion

Services

What I build

My favorite work

Xeriscape gardens & native plantings

Agave, cacti, native grasses and stone. Gardens that use far less water and still look great in August.

Paths, patios & sitting areas

Flagstone, pavers, river rock and gravel, laid on a proper base so they stay level.

Planting beds & garden refreshes

New shapes, clean edging, amended soil and plants matched to sun and space.

Drainage solutions

French drains, dry creek beds and grading that move water away from the house.

Irrigation, done to code

Spray-to-drip conversions, smart controllers, repairs, water check-ups and freeze prep, under my TCEQ license.

Garden design plans

A drawn layout with a plant list, yours to build with me or on your own.

Also: sod and lawn renovation, retaining-wall repair, and help with water-rebate paperwork when your upgrade qualifies.

How it works

01

Written proposal

Clear options with prices, materials and labor shown separately, and any HOA steps flagged up front.

03

The build

811 is called before any digging. I keep you updated as the job moves along and clean up when it's done.

04

Walkthrough

We go over the finished garden together, and I show you how to run and care for it.
