We are excited to share the groundbreaking photos of the new Las Esperanzas subdivision. We are in the design phase for this subdivision's phase 2 additions. Phase 2 features a park with connecting trails, playground, reforestation, dog park, and picnic areas. The park trails will connect to the new apartments, townhomes, and commercial plazas that encompass the existing lake. Follow us to see how this project develops. This rustic residence features a formal entrance and circle drive. The new lagoon style pool is nestled between a sun deck, fire feature, and outdoor kitchen.

Talk about enjoying the 4th of July weekend in style. The construction on the Southwest Sculpture Park is complete. This art collector’s estate was transformed by the careful placement of native plants and stone to enhance the wide variety of outdoor sculptures. Sustainable themes of xeric plants, reusing existing materials, and reducing lawn area were blended into the existing retaining wall system. The marriage of Southwest style and a fabulous art collection create an exceptional outdoor space. The dramatic before and after images show the power of a proper landscape design.

A premier South Texas school district requested a complete renovation of one of their early college high school campus. Currently the 2,200 students change classes, eat lunch, and socialize in a completely concrete environment. Our design concept is to integrate as many natural elements as possible. Stone patios with cell phone charging stations, a cor-ten steel clock tower, a hanging garden landmark sign, rain gardens, ephemeral streams, umbrella shades, tree groves, meadows, and pollinator gardens will be added. New entrance-way experiences will greet students, staff, and visitors. Lighting will add interest and expand the use of outdoor spaces at night.
Earlier this year the state of Texas took a hard hit with the unprecedented freeze, however, it is time to bounce back. New plantings with a pop of color were recently added to the Tres Lagos entranceway. A series of palms along the boulevard lead you to the accented subdivision entrances that feature freeze tolerant native palms and flowering trees.
Change your home from blah to beautiful with a professionally designed landscape plan. The dramatic before and after images show the power that a proper landscape design has to enhance your home’s architecture. The plant palette features foxtail ferns, agapanthus, gulf muhly grass, and Gregg's mistflower that provide a layering effect. In addition, we integrated dry river beds to manage roof runoff and added a flagstone walkway that leads to a herb garden. We always strive to create a design that results in the best house on the block!
