Noon Systems Corporation is a Texas Public Benefit Corporation operating a resource intelligence organization headquartered in San Antonio. The practice reads the land — slope, soil, water, sun, canopy, history — and builds sites that provide water, power, shade, and food. Sites designed to thrive on their own for decades.
Noon's work sits at three operating layers. The Noon Source is an open research library of 26+ original articles on Hill Country water, soil, native palette, acequia traditions, mission garden horticulture, and the practice of ecological infrastructure — written by a working practitioner from active project sites, peer-edited, and licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The Materials Network is a community sourcing program redirecting reclaimed limestone, mature hardwoods, native plant rescue, free mulch, and municipal compost away from landfill and into ecological projects. Partners is the funding-readiness layer — capacity statement, grant-program inventory, and partnership templates supporting work funded by NRCS, USDA Forest Service, EPA, TWDB, TPWD, the San Antonio River Authority, the Edwards Aquifer Authority, and SAWS.
Noon's working proof-of-concept deployment is Johnson Ranch Landscape (johnsonranchlandworks.com), a Hill Country landscape contractor running Noon-architected proposal, scoping, and field-ops software in production.
Service area: San Antonio, Boerne, Bulverde, Spring Branch, New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, the Texas Hill Country, and the Edwards Plateau. noon.bio

A property is not a canvas. It is a watershed, a soil column, a microclimate, and a piece of cultural memory. Our job is to read what's already there and design with it. Dorian Dégagé · Noon Systems Corporation
Hill Country water is a traveler. Every roof, every slope, every culvert is part of the same hydrological economy. We design at the watershed scale because the watershed is the only scale that matches the resource. Dorian Dégagé · Noon Systems Corporation
Diversity creates resilience. A turf lawn is one species. A native Hill Country meadow is thirty to eighty. The numbers are the difference between a property that survives a drought and one that doesn't. Dorian Dégagé · Noon Systems Corporation
A Public Benefit Corporation answers to two charters at once. We deliver to the client and we deliver to the watershed. Both are written into our governance. Dorian Dégagé · Noon Systems Corporation
The Noon Source is a working library, not a blog. Every article is written from an active job site. The voice is a practitioner's voice because the source material is practitioner work. Dorian Dégagé · Noon Systems Corporation
Shade is infrastructure. A mature live oak moves forty thousand gallons of water a year and drops ground temperature ten to fifteen degrees. We don't plant decoration. We plant climate. Dorian Dégagé · Noon Systems Corporation

Use Noon Systems Corporation on first reference. Noon is fine on subsequent reference. Don't expand "Noon" to a longer brand-name fabrication ("Noon Ecology," "Noon Studios"). The Noon Source is the editorial library — capitalize "The."
The Noon mark is a circle with an ember dot. Don't recolor, distort, rotate, or place it on visually noisy backgrounds. Keep a clear-space margin equal to the dot's diameter around the mark.
