​This weekend we attended the unveiling of the Los Fresnos Performing Arts Center. A state-of-the-art space with striking arches, xeriscape landscaping, dry river beds, seat walls, and an inviting outdoor courtyard make the building a work of art in itself.

​Last week, we had the honor of attending the ribbon cutting for the Vaqueros Performance Center. The landscape design promotes sustainability with low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant material. Kudos to UTRGV on this state-of-the-art performance center. V’s Up!

​This week we were proud to join the groundbreaking for Villas on Ware, the newest addition to the Rhodes Living Community’s premier rental offerings. This exciting expansion will feature low-maintenance homes, a convenient mail center, and scenic walking trails. Congratulations to the Rhodes family for their continued commitment to creating world-class, mixed-use developments.

Located in the heart of Terrell Hills, this European inspired courtyard features a custom water feature that sets a peaceful tone, while sculptural boulders and a striking Texas Sabal palm create a low maintenance and architectural focal point. Designed to enhance serenity and curb appeal, this space brings elegance and ease together effortlessly.  ​

Beach vibes! This renovated beach house in Port Aransas showcases a reimagined landscape that elevates curb appeal and sets it apart as a gem on the Texas coast. The grounds feature a serene spa, a resort-style pool, a fully appointed outdoor kitchen, and integrated play spaces. Palms and drought tolerante natives provide a secluded oasis just in time for a truly memorable Memorial Day weekend. The before photo showcases a preview of the demo process. 

​Sneak Peek!
We received an exclusive private tour of the model home in the newest subdivision, Waterlily at La Sienna. This beautifully planned community is lined with palms and features lush South Texas tropical landscaping. Additional amenities include a scenic resaca, a convenient mail center, a kayak dock, and a perimeter resaca trail. The luxury homes are currently under construction—stay tuned for more updates!

Nestled away in North McAllen, this residence now radiates sophistication thanks to a stunning landscape and façade transformation. A freshly laid travertine walkway guides visitors to the entrance, flanked by tiered planting beds that blend lush shades of green with elegant hints of purple. The striking Black Diamond Crape Myrtle adds a bold, distinctive touch to the garden. Symmetrically arranged palm clusters on either side of the façade provide balance and structure, anchoring the home’s presence while elevating its curb appeal. Thoughtfully positioned landscape lighting brings the textures of stone and foliage to life after dark, turning the property into a nighttime masterpiece. The before-and-after difference is nothing short of dramatic—so much so, the home now stands as the crown jewel of the block. ​

​The Schoolyard Forest initiative is underway and is set to transform seven McAllen elementary schools into vibrant outdoor learning environments. This project is supported by a Texas A&M Forest Service Grant and includes a partnership with Quinta Mazatlan. These projects emphasize the importance of nature in education, providing students with hands-on experiences that foster environmental stewardship and enhance their learning. Our expertise in designing these spaces ensures that children of all ages will benefit from engaging, interactive, and sustainable outdoor settings.

Exciting progress on this Texas Hill Country residence! Our design focused on seamlessly integrating a new pool, standalone outdoor kitchen and restroom structure, sun deck, various seating areas, and a fire feature. The layout prioritizes a smooth flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Stay tuned as landscape lighting and new plantings are added to enhance privacy and soften the overall look.
