Garden layout
Paths, beds, outdoor rooms, and focal points are arranged so the garden feels natural to move through.
Austin landscape design
Austin Landscape Design
Garden plans for Austin homes, shaped around the house, the site, and what will still look good after another hot summer.
How I can help
A plan before the plant truck arrives
A good Austin garden starts with restraint. Cynthia looks at light, soil, drainage, architecture, maintenance, and how you use the space before deciding what belongs where.
Planting plans
Plant choices account for shade, heat, pets, deer pressure, freezes, water needs, and the way each plant changes through the year.
Lawn and bed balance
Turf, gravel, planting, and open space are balanced so the yard stays useful without asking too much water or maintenance.
Crew-ready guidance
The plan can guide your own planting work or give a trusted installer a clearer direction to follow.
Good fit for
Homeowners who want a clear garden plan
- You want a real plan before spending money on plants or hardscape.
- You know the yard needs work, but the starting point feels unclear.
- You want plants that fit the house instead of a generic nursery mix.
- You may install in phases and need the order to make sense.
