Organic & Sustainable Landscaping in Houston
This is a small project we just completed. Leyendecker Landscape installed irrigation first & then the landscaping.
We went with butterfly attracting plants and Texas Natives.
The goal was to make this space quaint and inviting without spending too much money. Mission accomplished!

Did you know that there are 5 different varieties of Bluebonnets or Lupinus Subcarnosus???
The Bluebonnet became our lovely state flower in march of 1901. Other varieties include Lupinus Texensis, Lupinus Havardii, Lupinus Concinnus, Lupinus Plattensis.
Something else people don’t realize is that the best time to plant Bluebonnets is in September and October.
This allows the root system to fully develop through winter & then surprise us with outstanding color in March, April and even May.
Many of the Spring blooming wild flowers follow the same rule and germinate in the Fall for that burst of Spring color.
I LOVE TEXAS!!!!!!
This commercial stands strong in my memories from childhood and needs
to be seen again.
