Read the property, read the brief, read the funding window. We size up the property before anyone spends a dollar.
Drawings that reconcile hydrology, soil, palette, light, and culture. Every line accounts for where the water goes.
Five-reading site evaluations: slope, drainage, soil, sun, canopy — written up as a record you keep. Now with drone terrain mapping and ecological survey when the ground needs measuring, not just reading.
Watershed-scale and parcel-scale planning. Phased capital strategies. Funding alignment with NRCS, EPA, TWDB, TPWD.
Built systems that perform ecological work: bioswales, catchment, native canopy, riparian repair, edible perennials, off-grid power. Curbside bioswales from $300 a linear meter.
Bring a project, a property, a grant cycle, or a question. We walk your property — 90 minutes, free — then tell you what it needs: scope, sequence, and cost. The $300 design read is credited to your build.
See it built: a 13-foot bioswale in Alamo Heights absorbing ~200 gallons of street flood an hour — the build.
Price it yourself, browse the systems we build, or hand us the sourcing. Same crew. Same standard. Three ways in.
Build a reading of your property. 24 line items you can open and check — across Site Read, Plan, Build, Tend.
Living systems we design for: water, soil, habitat, edible perennials, off-grid power.
Tell us what your property needs. We source it. From compost and native plants to brass fountain hardware and Hill Country limestone.
