Your Hill Country Lot Deserves More Than Generic Landscaping
You bought in Bee Caves for the views and the space—but now you're staring at a backyard of exposed limestone, erosion gullies, and deer-ravaged plantings that cost a fortune to replace every season.
The real cost of waiting: Without a cohesive sustainable design, you'll keep throwing money at quick fixes while your slope erodes, your plants get eaten, and your outdoor space stays unusable.

Sustainable Landscape Design questions from Bee Caves homeowners
Frequently asked questions
Will a sustainable design actually work with Bee Caves' rocky soil?
Yes—experienced Hill Country designers work with the rock rather than against it. They identify pocket areas for planting, design raised beds where needed, and select deep-rooted native species that thrive in thin alkaline soil over limestone.
How do I get a sustainable design past my Bee Caves HOA?
Local designers know which native plants satisfy both sustainability goals and HOA aesthetics. They'll prepare professional renderings that demonstrate the 'finished look' to get approval before any installation begins.
Can a master plan actually reduce my ongoing landscape costs?
Absolutely. A well-designed sustainable landscape in Bee Caves typically cuts water usage 40-60% and eliminates annual deer-damage replacement costs. Most homeowners break even within 2-3 years.
