We don’t plant during the hotter weeks but stay busy prepping areas for new native plant installations. These mature live oaks in an inner-city Houston neighborhood had built-up material smothering the root flare. We graded the area and plan to establish a native plant community of frogfruit and horseherb this fall. Stay tuned!

If you want to come home to a front yard like this, we would love to have you as our next client.

This installation is less than two years old. The Red Maple went in as a 3 gallon. The biggest maintenance problem is the Crape Myrtle.
An herb garden borders the porch. Rosemary and chives have been the most successful herbs in Houston.
We plan to replace the Texas Sedge with a happier sedge. I haven’t figured out how to make Texas Sedge happy yet. I also need to add Asclepias, because there was a Monarch lurking about today.
Purple Coneflower isn’t native and isn’t apologizing. 💅
But we will be featuring some gorgeous Sanguine Coneflowers soon.
Happy gardening!

Our process for installing a in lawn.
Note: please do not google naked landscaping.

Stats- 62 plants, 14 species, ~100 square feet

A note on fertilizer ☝️ My usual regimen is to the Microlife 8-4-6 granular and then foliar spray with Ocean’s Harvest. I also like to do a dusting of compost prior to planting. While not entirely necessary for natives, this will help with transplant shock. The purpose of this video was to show a stripped down process with no extra products or materials. Just grit and sweat 🤠 and a little magic. The secret is there is no secret. 🤫
