Plan the transition from the house to the wider property.
A Spicewood landscape can be most effective when the intensively maintained areas have a clear purpose. Start by locating entrances, outdoor seating and everyday walking routes, then decide which surrounding areas should remain less formal. LCRA’s regional landscape guidance is a useful reference for discussing plant selection and efficient use of irrigation.
Bring photographs that show the property beyond the immediate bed being renovated. We can discuss how paths, planting and hardscape connect without assuming every acre needs the same treatment. For a commercial property, identify the arrival experience and shared amenities first. Confirm water availability for establishment before selecting the extent and timing of new planting.
