Austin Landscape Design & Installation

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

How Cynthia helps

Design support when the plan meets the ground

Installation is where many gardens lose the idea that made them good. Cynthia helps keep plant choices, spacing, hardscape decisions, and substitutions aligned with the design.

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 fit.

Hardscape guidance

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

Care after planting

New gardens need close attention. Cynthia can help with watering, pruning, seasonal care, and early adjustments.

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.
