Project Portfolio List

Coopers Cove - Manana

Turnstyle Design came to us to design an outdoor courtyard experience for their client. Their goals were a courtyard that accommodates a dining table and an outdoor living room seating area, to address grading for proper water drainage on one side of the house, and fix the grading and to add to an existing patio on the other side of the house to create a more useable grilling/hangout space. The results were better than even we imagined. We cleared out and regraded the courtyard area and both side yards to give the landscape a fresh start and properly direct water away from the home. In the courtyard we installed concrete pavers in a subway tile design that give the entry to the home the elegance it deserves. To the left of the house we put in a walkway that stretches the entire side and walks you right up to the back porch. On the other side we used steel to frame out an extended patio and finished it with the same pavers from the courtyard and then added some pavers in the rock to give the owners more seating options. This property turned out absolutely stunning.

Circle C Avana - Gandia

This client complained about their backyard being uneven. They wanted a nice place to sit, grill and throw the ball for their dog. They also wanted to up their curb appeal and add steel planters. In the front, we created a tiered steel planter as well as a bed around the electrical box to help hide it. In the back we made a wrap around bench with a large fire pit that doubles as a nice table to set drinks and snacks. We extended the patio out for a shaded area to add a table and a covered grilling space. Finally, we regraded the soil and laid out a soft zoysia grass that the dog will enjoy and feel great on barefeet!

Beverly Hills - Beverly Skyline

Our clients were building a pool into a very steep slope on their property and were looking for a landscape that allowed for seating, native planting and walkways. One of the clients is an architect and had a clear idea of materials and look that she wanted. We took her vision and made it into a reality with a lueder patio at the shallow side of the pool, steel terracing and stone steps leading down the slope along the side of the pool, stone retaining walls at the top and bottom of the property and two custom steel fences at both ends. We finished it off with native plants and added Dripping Springs Ollas to help keep them watered during the long hot summer.

Treemont - Regents Park

At this Rollingwood property, we created steel terracing down a steep hill to help keep soil from eroding. We also planted butterfly and bee native and adapted plants along with some herbs and fruit trees. Pathways were created with boulders down the hill to make the yard more accessible for children.

Galindo - Garden Villa

Old Enfield - Wethersfield

This client came to us when they knew they were about to start installing a pool. They wanted to make sure the landscaping around the pool made sense and that they maintained plenty of privacy in their backyard. We had already built a tiered patio area off the back porch. We added a walkway, retained the area around the pool and regraded the landscape. Then we built trellises on both sides of the backyard and added vines to cover. We also built a fence around the area housing the new pool equipment.

North Loop - Evans

We transformed this compact yard into a zen oasis with a modern touch. Despite size constraints, this project packed in all the essentials: a patch of grass for fur babies, a pergola for shade and hammock swinging, a soothing fountain water feature, and a cozy deck for dining and entertaining. With this extension of the home's living area, this is proof that with clever design, less really can become more.

Start Now

Galindo - Locke

A custom steel fence separates them from greenbelt on the side yard and leaves the view open in the back...we regraded the back and created a space for the kids to play. Their main concern was improving the yard for the kids and building the fence that was a little see thru and a little not. We planted vines by the deck to help screen the view into their private area.

Start Now

Cirlce C Hielscher - Lafitte

This client came to us to add curb appeal and plantings around their newly renovated pool. They plan to stay in the house until their kids graduate from high school in about five years and wanted something functional to look good while they're in the house. They also want to keep an eye on how it would perform when selling the home. We removed the standard concrete entry and replaced it with a more modern entry that leads to a pathway to the backyard. We addressed some drainage issues of erosion due to lack of gutters and pooling in the side yard by adding large gravel where the water hits the ground and a rain garden to slow and direct the runoff. We also added plantings in the front and back that work with the sunlight and climate that really frame the entry and pool areas. We also replaced the St Augustine in the front with a more drought tolerant Zoysia grass.

Allandale - Shoal Creek 1

Our client at Shoal Creek is an architect that needed help creating their vision, so they provided the ideas and we helped form those into a design. While the house was still in construction we went in to put together a collection of sustainable plants for, not only a stunning exterior, but something that could be viewed and admired from the inside.

Westlake Hills - Buena Vista

With the rising cost of property taxes, this landlord was struggling to make a profit on his duplex property. He decided to give the interior and exterior of both units a facelift and modernization. We removed the tall fences masking the front yards & installed a lower fence around the front unit to create visibility from the street. We then created some off-street parking with walkways to both units. Around the back unit we constructed a taller fence to hide the views from the other properties. Both entry courtyards are unique to the units and have simple care free plantings.

Start Now

Barton Terrace - Spring Creek

Delta Dawn Gardens brought us this design for implementation of the hardscape. This client purchased the property next door and tore down the house to build a garden. We built a new fence around both properties, built custom limestone terraces, stairways and walkways around the property with steel railing to allow for easy planting and access to the entire garden.
