Landscape Design + Build · Hyde Park, Austin

Cottage gardens that fit 1920s bungalows.

Hyde Park is a historic district of 1920s bungalows on small lots. We design landscapes that fit the architecture — informal native cottage gardens, hand-laid stone paths, no flashy modern moves.

What works in Hyde Park

What we know about working in Hyde Park.

Lots are small. Most are 50′ wide. Every square foot has to earn its place. We design economically and intentionally — small footprint, big visual return.

Historic district review applies. Visible changes (fences, front yards) sometimes need approval. We’ve worked through it. We design with the architectural era in mind.

Hyde Park homeowners want their landscape to feel like it has always been there. Informal cottage gardens, native climbers on the porch, hand-laid stone. Not the design-y modern look you see in Mueller.

Our process

What working with us looks like.

Step 01

Site visit

We walk the property, talk through use, check drainage and sun, and leave with a fixed-fee design proposal — usually within a week.

Step 02

Master plan

2D plan view, material palette, native plant list, phased budget. You see it before we touch a shovel. Design fee credits 100% toward the build.

Step 03

Build

Our crew, not subs. We handle hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting end-to-end. Most projects finish in 4–10 weeks.

Step 04

Year-one care

Walk-throughs at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months. Anything that doesn’t establish, we replace. 5-year warranty on hardscape.
