15 Texas Native Plant Landscape Designers
Are you looking for help designing your dream garden with Texas native plants? I often get asked for suggestions for Texas native plant landscapers, and I’m sharing my top recommendations below.
These professionals are knowledgeable about Texas native plants and use them regularly in their designs, but some also use non-native adaptive plants. If you want a design that exclusively utilizes Texas native plants, be sure to tell them that!
While I have organized these by where they are based, several of these companies offer virtual design services no matter where you are located in Texas. Not all of them offer installation services, but many do.
Please help support these landscapers! They are some of the few in the state that truly understand the benefits of native plants.
