Geo Growers - Dripping Springs

After being pregnant and then having a newborn, my garden has seen it's better days.  So inspiration struck after the last rain.... our plants are greening up!  We decided to take a trip out to Geo Growers where you bag your own dirt and mulch and they also have a lot of rock such as pea gravel, crushed granite, basalt, compost and specialized soils.



This is our car stuffed with everything we could possibly need to garden.  We also got some compost tea (this stuff is supposed to be the bomb!) and poured it on some of our plants that needed a boost.



The pea gravel went under our pecan and oak trees and the dirt and mulch went into our garden beds.  Then we also bought this special Thunder Dirt to give a boost to all of our succulents and potted plants.

Our yard is so happy!

Landscaper Dream in South Austin


New homeowners Allie & Scott sign the final papers!  They are both landscape architects and we found an amazing home in South Austin with a HUGE lot.....a landscaper dream.

South Austin has perfect access to downtown and tons of hip eateries and shops.... they now have the IBIZ districts.  South Lamar and South First - both have fabulous local Austin businesses and these districts were created to support local business (I Buy Austin).

Austin Title handled things well when we had a few hiccups with the lender.  Overall, I think the homeowners were happy to finally get those keys!!!


Siena slept through the closing and made an appearance for the end.  Here she is chatting it up with my clients at the closing table.
