My approach

With a strong commitment to sustainability and a deep appreciation for Texas native and adapted plants, I’ll bring a blend of creativity, functionality, and ecological mindfulness to your home.

Most of my clients are seeking personalized advice on how develop small to midsize outdoor spaces themselves or with local contractors. In our consultation I will draw upon a deep knowledge of Central Texas plants and environmental conditions to help you create a flexible plan that works for your budget and abilities.

Local solutions

When you invest time and money into a landscape, you want it to last. Designing with a keen awareness of local conditions will help your landscape thrive and contribute to the overall health of the surrounding ecosystem. Texas native and adapted plants have evolved to withstand our unique climate challenges, which leads to a more balanced, lower-maintenance landscape that benefits local wildlife and minimizes water usage.

 

In-person and remote options

I’m available for onsite and virtual consultations in the Austin area and virtual collaborations across the state of Texas.

“For me, wildflowers are joy-giving. They have enriched my life and fed my soul and given beautiful memories to sustain me. Beyond their aesthetic value, there are other valid reasons for their increased use. As we experience problems with lowering water tables and increasing maintenance costs, incorporating nature’s bounty into our landscapes may provide a viable alternative in suitable areas to our concept of manicured clipped grass.”
