Panoramic, Water-Wise Design for Hilltop and Lakeside Vistas

At Kevin Wood Landscapes, we design breathtaking, drought-tolerant landscapes that maximize the panoramic views and natural terrain of Jonestown. We understand that properties perched above Lake Travis or nestled in the hills demand gardens that are both visually stunning from every angle and supremely resilient to sun, wind, and sporadic rainfall. Our approach creates expansive, textured plantings that flow with the land, enhance your sweeping vistas, and thrive with minimal water and upkeep.

Our design process begins by honoring your property’s unique topography and sightlines. We select a sophisticated palette of deep-rooted native plants and rugged adapted species that are born for this environment. This includes drought-defying architectural plants like Sotol and Yucca, the soft, graceful movement of Deer Grass (Muhlenbergia rigens) and Gulf Muhly, the silvery, fragrant foliage of Texas Sage, and flowering perennials like Rock Rose (Pavonia) and Damianita. These plants are chosen for their ability to provide year-round structure, prevent hillside erosion, and flourish with deep infrequent watering once established.

We integrate these resilient plantings with view-focused hardscaping. This includes terraced limestone retaining walls that create level planting beds, flagstone viewing patios that frame the panorama, and dry creek beds that manage runoff naturally. Our designs often use lower-growing plants to preserve sightlines, creating layered gardens that feel expansive, not enclosed. The result is a majestic, low-input landscape that conserves water, requires minimal maintenance, and provides a sustainable, ever-beautiful frame for the stunning Jonestown views you cherish.
