Hunters Crossing
We design and build many bespoke landscapes to fit the uniqueness and needs of each of our clients. Three of our clients are next door to each other. Each of the projects reflects our commitment to blending functionality with beauty, tailored to our clients’ individual visions and design styles.
MOODY: Fresh back from years abroad, this couple was ready to settle down in their dream home bought before they set sail. Our job description was to luxuriate in the style of Singapore Botanic Gardens with Texas native plants and to fix a serious erosion problem. We had to talk the client into cutting the size of the lawn back and replace the unpleasant Augustine with zoysia (another zoysia convert). Here are some of the results.

CLARK:
When your clients family are full of Horticulturists and their Dad is the head of the Horticulture Department at your alma mater…(gig em Aggies)
the pressure is on to bring it on! We were so flattered to have been selected for this work. Besides the Clarks being total Aggies and needing the required Maroon and White thematic colored flowering plants as often as we could we also infused the place with the coolest Native plants we could get our hands on. The challenge of then bringing something very original to the design was brought in the pancake style flagstone work we did using multiple exaggerated layers of stone cut to fit into cool shapes for the beds. Cramoisi Rose and Ducher and Belindas Dream are featured. We’ve been working with this client for ten years maintaining and cultivating the gardens and lawns for this family.
Before: nothing says suburban banality like dead queen palms and freaking boxwoods ugh easy to fix tho.
Fringe Tree and Raised Rose bed
We generally dont use many crape myrtles in our landscapes because they are so typical and over used and the regular boring landscapers put in just ALL the varieties not paying attention to the ones that like our climate and then we get super ugly crepes BUT that's not This Crepe Myrtle. This is the Fantasy crepe. Its the trifecta: fragrant repeat blooming with curly camo bark and disease resistant and not prone to black sooty mold or other such nonsense. AND has brilliant fall colors!! I guess that makes it a quadfecta. Anyway it's a gorgeous selection for a crepe myrtle.
This bed is a flapjack stack in a heart shape. But its a secret.
Terracing raised beds down a slope of the front yard keeping that line extending the foundation. Keeping things level and not curved with the existing land. ...you have to have an eye for this other wise it looks dumb and not super cool like this. :)
the stone are 20 inches wide that's how we could use such thin slabs for the stacked effect.
Ducher China Hybrid tea antique French Rose yes all that its a weird o but has been growing in Texas for a couple hundred years and in France for over four hundred . Its fragrant its beautiful Its virtually disease resistant and I LOVE THIS ROSE!
Belindas Dream
