Austin landscape design with stone border and layered planting

Design & installation

Austin Landscape Design & Installation

Design direction, plant choices, and installation support so the finished garden stays close to the plan.

How I can help

Design support when the plan meets the ground

Clear direction helps plant choices, spacing, hardscape decisions, and substitutions stay aligned with the design as the project moves into installation.

Trusted crew coordination

Cynthia works with installation crews she trusts, while keeping the design intent clear as the project moves into the ground.

Plant sourcing

Plant choices are selected for the site and checked against availability, size, quality, and long-term viability.

Hardscape guidance

Paths, stone, edging, gravel, lighting, and irrigation decisions are reviewed so they support the garden rather than overpower it.

Care after planting

After installation, I can provide written care notes so you, your caretaker, or your maintenance person know how to water, watch, and adjust the new garden.

Good fit for

Homeowners who want a clear garden plan

  • You want the garden designed and installed with one clear point of view.
  • You need help choosing plants and managing substitutions during install.
  • You have a crew or contractor, but need design oversight.
  • You want the project phased without losing the long-term plan.
