Organic & Native Planting questions from Round Rock homeowners
Frequently asked questions
Will native plants attract more bugs to my Round Rock home?
Native plants attract beneficial insects like butterflies and native bees—not pests. Many natives actually deter mosquitoes better than non-native alternatives. Lantana and Salvia are natural mosquito repellents popular in Round Rock yards.
How do native plants handle Round Rock's clay soil?
Texas natives evolved in clay. Species like Black-Eyed Susan, Flame Acanthus, and Texas Sage actually prefer clay's moisture retention. Your pro will amend planting holes for drainage while letting natives do what they do best.
Can I mix native plants with my existing landscape in Teravista?
Absolutely. Most Round Rock pros specialize in transitional designs that blend natives with existing turf or ornamentals. Start with pollinator beds along fence lines or replace struggling foundation plantings with native alternatives.
