Bali in Austin

The homeowners at this property had a steep, sloped back yard with a large, older pool taking up most of the space. They had a new pool put in, and we went to work creating a terraced Texas tropical landscape along the hillside. In the front yard, we designed a lush, coordinated look around the front door, giving neighbors a sneak peek of what to expect out back.

The result: a lush, colorful and inviting staycation paradise that feels a million miles away from the daily grind. Corten steel and poured cement raised beds create a stepped garden to explore up close, or which can be enjoyed in full from a pool float or patio chair.
