Five City of Austin Fire and EMS Stations are now enhanced with landscapes that support the vital work of first responders while contributing to a greener, more resilient community. 🌳

Our designs prioritize native and drought-tolerant plantings, offering low-maintenance beauty that thrives in Austin's challenging climate. Permeable paving ensures stormwater is managed sustainably, while thoughtfully placed shade trees create outdoor spaces for relaxation and restoration for these hardworking teams.

Each station reflects a balance of form and function, where landscapes aren’t just a backdrop—they're an integral part of the station’s mission to protect and serve.

📍 Locations: Del Valle Fire 50/ EMS 31, Travis Country Fire 51/ EMS 40, Goodnight Ranch Fire 53/ EMS 42, Davenport Fire 60/ EMS 45, and Canyon Creek Fire and APD Substation

🌱 Key Features:
Native and adaptive plantings
Permeable paving for stormwater management
Restorative outdoor spaces
We’re proud to contribute to landscapes that support the city’s heroes while promoting sustainability. 💚

When it comes to serving up a slice, Home Slice Pizza knows how to deliver and their North Loop location brings that same energy to their outdoor spaces! We teamed up with Home Slice to create a vibrant, welcoming landscape that complements the iconic pizza joint’s fun and laid-back vibe.

🍕Native & Adaptive Plants: Low-maintenance greenery brings life and color year-round, with plants that thrive in the Central Texas climate.
🍕Patio Perfection: Thoughtfully designed outdoor seating encourages gathering and enhances the community feel.
🍕Street Appeal: Inviting entry spaces make this a standout spot for neighbors and visitors alike.

We loved crafting a space where great pizza and great company come together in a setting that’s as delicious as the menu. Next time you're in the North Loop, swing by for a slice and check out the landscaping!
