Satisfied Clients

One of the things we loved about the house we purchased four years ago was the shade brought by three large live oaks in the front lawn. We didn’t realize, however, until we first raked it that the leaves on the ground were actually inches thick from years of not raking by the previous occupant, thus killing the lawn under it. So, by our first summer we saw that we had a dust bowl in the front yard, that would not grow grass because of the shade and the water guzzling of the oaks. So after a few years of embarrassment over the state of our lawn, and concern about the amount of water we were dumping on the ground to maintain what little grass we had and trying to get more to grow, I found Austin Native Landscaping.

After 25 years of looking the other way when came in from the driveway, to avoid the sight of our sad-looking front yard, we decided to look for someone to work with us on a xeriscape solution–both because we thought it was the responsible way to go in Texas and because we knew we would never have the time or impulse to take care of our yard. After talking with several people, we met Reed and knew instantly this was the way to go. Read full testimonial…
