Our creations

Every project in our portfolio reflects how we bridge vision, design, and execution. These are outdoor spaces defined by alignment, ecological purpose, and lasting beauty—not just built, but thoughtfully composed.

Upstream lesson: three properties, one vision—alignment between stakeholders was the project. The waterfalls were the easy part.

500-acre family compound in the Texas Hill Country. Design and project management for 50 acres of intensive development including multiple residences, horse paddocks, and road networks. $1.2M landscape scope.

A comprehensive landscape transformation in Sunnyvale, TX featuring a custom pool with swim-up bar, outdoor kitchen, native Texas plantings, dry creek bed, and tiered retaining walls - all designed to complement the existing residence while maximizing outdoor living potential.
