Installations: Deer resistant Hill Country Garden Landscaping

Property:

Barton Creek

Objective:

Homeowner wanted a shaded area where she could enjoy the view of the surrounding hills and woods which border her Texas Hill Country property. She also wanted color- that deer coming up out of the canyon below her unfenced back yard- wouldn’t eat.

Design Solution:

1.	Installed two saw cut limestone patios one on the upper level in the shade of existing oaks connected to her house for a dining area and the second farther down her slope to take in the view. A wooden pergola was added to create shade from the hot afternoon sun.
2.	Waves of low maintenance ornamental grasses with easy care deer resistant flowering perennials were planted in curved islands spotted in the new lawn area for visual interest and to reduce the area of water guzzling grass.
3.	Success! The homeowner reports that the deer haven’t eaten any of her plants.
