Hays County Ranch
WIMBERLEY, TX
Preserving gracious Hill Country living with a restorative land management focus
This heritage ranch nestles into a scenic bend of Lone Man Creek and features a classic American farmhouse, dancehall and artist's studio. We added subtle hardscape elements and a lush, varied palette of native and adapted plants and trees. Our landscape design integrates the historic buildings with the surrounding wild lands and enhances the site’s livability, beauty and biodiversity.
HIGHLIGHTS
A Texas twist on the cottage garden elevates the farmhouse to a focal point, attracts pollinators and provides beautiful blooms for cutting year round
In partnership with Heritage Tree Care, fifty-five shade and ornamental trees were planted throughout the property to diversify the woodland canopy and offset the risk of oak wilt disease
Oversized native limestone walkways improve traffic flow to the farmhouse and outbuildings
A gravel parking lot was transformed into a restored prairie full of native Texas wildflowers and grasses
Mature bald cypress trees were planted in phase one of a riparian restoration plan
Future ecological restoration phases include extensive prairie restoration and building a riparian buffer zone along the creek
