Landscape Design
A yard that fits your house, your light, and your life.
Overview
Care that fits the way Louisiana yards actually grow.
A good landscape plan looks like it grew there on its own. Ours are drawn around the way you actually use your yard — where the kids play, how you park, where afternoon sun hits, and which windows you want to look out of.
We start with a walk-through and a conversation, not a plant menu. Then we come back with a plan, a plant list, and a phased budget so you can build it in one weekend or over three seasons — whichever fits.
What's included
Every visit, done right.
On-site consultation
We walk your property, ask about how you live outdoors, and take measurements and photos.
Design concept
Layout, plant palette, and materials chosen for your architecture and sun/shade patterns.
Louisiana-first plant list
Natives and proven performers that handle our heat, humidity, and clay soil.
Sun & shade mapping
We plan for the reality of live-oak shade, western sun, and afternoon storm patterns.
Tree & shrub structure
The backbone plants first — crepe myrtle, magnolia, ligustrum, holly — so it looks intentional immediately.
Phased budget
One plan you can install all at once or in stages as budget allows.
Our process
Simple, honest, on schedule.

Our crew installs, or we hand off a clean plan to your preferred contractor.
Built for Louisiana
Plans that thrive in our climate, not fight it.
New Orleans zone 9b is a specific set of challenges — long humid summers, brief real winters, hurricane wind, heavy clay, and shifting drainage. Every plan we draw accounts for all of it.
- Hurricane-resilient anchor plants: crepe myrtle, wax myrtle, southern magnolia, palmetto.
- Native and adapted picks — Louisiana iris, oakleaf hydrangea, muhly grass, dwarf yaupon.
- Bed shaping and drainage designed for tropical downpours, not gentle rain.
- Layouts that live with live oaks, not around them — leaf drop, roots, and shade all planned for.
FAQ
Good questions to ask.
- Do you charge for the initial visit?
- The first walk-through is free. A full design package is quoted after we see the property.
- Can we install it ourselves?
- Absolutely. Plenty of clients take the plan and plant list and do it themselves or hire out labor separately.
- Will you work with our existing plants?
- Yes. We inventory what's healthy and worth keeping and design around it.
- How long until it looks 'finished'?
- Immediately for structure plants; fully filled in usually one to two growing seasons — fast in our climate.
