Local insight: Pedernales River valley features rocky bluffs requiring terraced stone walls and drought-hardy agave plantings.
The setting rewards a xeric, sculptural planting style built around the drought-hardy species that thrive on rock. Agave, yucca, sotol, and native grasses hold their form through the harshest Hill Country summer and need almost no supplemental water once established, which suits both the thin soil and the area's dependence on wells and the lake. We compose these plantings to work with the stone terraces and the natural rock outcrops already on the land.
The ground is shallow soil over hard limestone, so irrigation trenches and wall footings mean rock drilling, and drainage on the bluffs has to be deliberate. We route runoff with rock swales and dry creek beds that carry storm volume down the grade without scouring the terraces, protecting both the walls and the beds below them around communities like Barton Creek Lakeside and Spicewood Trails.
Fencing goes on posts anchored in rock, and we build stone steps and paths to make the steep lots navigable. About thirty-four miles from our shop via SH 71, Spicewood is within our service area for terraced walls, xeric agave landscaping, rock-aware irrigation, and backflow testing.
