Interested in rethinking your lawn?
The traditional lawn is being reconsidered across Central Texas, and for good reason. Lawns demand tremendous water, fertilizer, and maintenance while offering very little habitat or seasonal interest. What if your outdoor space could do more?
At the Design Studio at Barton Springs Nursery, we help homeowners transform lawns into living landscapes that are beautiful, resilient, and deeply connected to place. Think native grasses that move with the wind, pollinator gardens alive with butterflies and bees, shaded seating areas under thoughtfully placed trees, and plantings that thrive in our soils and climate.
A well-designed landscape doesn’t just replace a lawn, it creates an entirely new experience of your property. One that invites you outside, supports local ecology, and evolves with the seasons.
Whether you’re dreaming of a full garden transformation or simply curious about where to begin, our designers are here to help.
Visit the Design Studio at Barton Springs Nursery and let’s start imagining what your landscape could become.
