Austin landscape services
Garden help for the way Austin actually grows
Cynthia can help with one focused site visit, a full design plan, or support as the garden is installed.
Services
One part of the yard, or the whole garden
Cynthia can help with a planting bed, a front entry, a backyard, lawn reduction, or a full garden plan. She helps decide what should stay, what should change, what will actually grow there, and how to keep the work close to the design.
Landscape Consultation
A site walk-through for plant choices, layout ideas, problem areas, and next steps you can use yourself or share with a crew.
Landscape Design
Garden plans and planting guidance for Austin homes, with attention to shade, soil, drainage, maintenance, and the house itself.
Design & Installation
Design direction, plant sourcing, and trusted crew coordination so the finished garden stays close to the plan.
Xeriscape & Lawn Reduction
Less turf, better planting, and low-water gardens that still feel layered, personal, and alive.
Native & Pollinator Gardens
Native plants, seasonal bloom, and habitat for butterflies, birds, bees, and people.
Garden styles
Garden styles for Austin homes and landscapes
Cottage, formal, native, xeriscape, and naturalistic gardens can all work in Austin. Cynthia's job is to make the style fit the soil, shade, architecture, water, maintenance, and the way you want to use the garden.
Xeriscape
Contemporary design using native plants.
Traditional
Classic garden structure with balanced planting and durable materials.
Naturalistic / Wildlife Friendly
Layered planting that supports pollinators, birds, and seasonal movement.
Cottage Style
Soft, abundant planting with informal texture and color.
Reduced Lawn
Plant-forward landscapes that reduce turf while keeping the garden useful.
Historic
This brick walkway was originally in poor shape, so the old bricks were removed, reset on a new base, and re-installed.
Tuscan Style
Warm, structured planting and materials with Mediterranean character.
Container Plants
Container compositions that bring planting detail to patios, entries, and small spaces.
Service area
