Landscaping your yard in Central Texas
Landscaping is a demanding and creative task of designing a garden plan, organizing different elements (paths, terraces, pools or fountains, sitting elements, children's play) and deciding about different types of plants and grasses that work well in your area.
For some people, creating a perfect yard is instinctive: they know what they want and have good ideas. On the other side, for most people decorating the yard is a rather complicated process because the essence is not in the design itself, but also in its functioning in such a way that the yard or garden survives and becomes better and better in time.
The main purpose of a well-arranged yard is to provide enjoyment and quality of time, relaxation from everyday life, socialization or peace in a green oasis. Whether you have decided to leave a garden design to an expert, a landscape architect or similar landscape companies, or you want to devote yourself to it, there are several basic rules to keep in mind when designing a garden. First of all, you need to know that there are differences around the world, and that you should choose wisely.
The task of landscape companies is to carry out a systematic analysis of existing social, ecological and geological conditions and processes in a particular area. The process itself consists of field trips, field shooting, analysis of collected data, and then approaching the development of plans and solutions. The end result is fully in line with the position and orientation of the area, paying particular attention to the side of the world, the sources of light, the existing overhead and underground installation and of course in accordance with the goals defined by the wishes of the clients.
When it comes to Central Texas area, it is of a huge importance to choose the plants and grasses that can perform well in south central climates. It is of a huge importance to know that, there are some plants called Texas Superstar Plants. Those are plants that are marked by horticultural experts to be the most successful for this area; Hibiscus 'Lord Baltimore', Dwarf Mexican petunia (Ruellia brittoniana), 'Belinda's Dream' rose (Rosa 'Belinda's Dream'), and many other that look beautiful and that will enrich your garden.
On the other side, the choice of grasses for your garden should also be carefully made. The biggest attention should be paid to those that can endure durable and warm summers, without the need of much watering. It is why probably the best choices are St. Augustine, Bermuda Grass, and Palisades Zoysia Grass. These grasses are usually very typical for this area, and if you decide to find out more about each of them, you would probably see which one is the most suitable for your garden. Usually, all of them are low to medium maintenance type of grass, but only St. Augustine requires a lot of water, on contrary to Bermuda and Palisades.
So, whatever you decide; whether to do the landscaping on your own, or to hire a landscaping company, make sure to remember all of these things. If you do, you will probably have an amazing yard, a place to rest and to enjoy your free time.

Home Landscaping in Central Texas
Landscaping in central Texas is way beyond merely aesthetic appeals or planting shrubs and trees and mowing lawns. It consists of a variety of services such as sod work, installing retaining walls, driveway interlocking, walkway, and more that can help enhance your curb appeal.

The benefit of installing native plants:
Native plants are plants that have been growing in a particular environment and area for several hundred years. They are also called indigenous and are well adapted to the climate, light, and soil conditions that characterize their ecosystem. Native plants support and restore biodiversity while improving the health of bees, local insects, and birds. Non-native plants, also referred to as exotic or alien, are plants that have been introduced to an area different from their original habitat either deliberately or accidentally. Installing native plants in your landscape is more beneficial than it seems.
Below are a few benefits of installing native plants.
- Native plants save water and money: since native plants are familiar with their habitat, they can withhold water better and longer than non-native plants, which will save you significant amounts of water. Native plants can adapt to the typical amount of precipitation received by a habitat. Installing native plants will lead to lower water expenses and increased savings.
- Native plants restore natural habitat: landscaping with native plants in your yard contributes to natural habitat for the animals and insects in that area. Native plants produce fruit, nectar, nut, and seed which serve as natural sources of food for many animals that depend on them for survival.
- Native plants have local resistance to local weather: native plants easily withstand environmental conditions than non-native plants. The familiarization of these plants with a particular habitat has helped them grow resistant to the harsh condition of that area.
- Native plants are rarely invasive: native plants are not intrusive and they allow other plants in your yard or garden to grow freely. Invasive plants stunt the growth of other plants and make landscaping difficult costing you time and money. With fewer invasive plants you have more options for what to do with your yard.
- Native plants need no fertilizer or pesticide: Due to the longevity of native plants in that habitat, native plants are capable of defending themselves against indigenous and infectious insects, fungi, and diseases.
