Hen and Chix Where gardens and children are both tended Plants, landscape design, gardening…My love, side hustle and happy place! It all started with my grandma and my mom.

They could cut a sprig of pretty much anything and grow it into another plant. Watching over the years, I began to do the same. In 2005, I started landscaping the lawn of our first home and over the years have helped friends with plant and landscape needs. Here is the deal…your landscape can be simple. It should be simple. If you want something new and fresh that doesn’t always mean a total scrape

and it definitely doesn’t have to break the bank. There are so many ways to tackle a refresh. I see many landscapes over planted, causing homeowners to overspend in the beginning, leaving them to the task of removal and trashing of plants within a year. Whether you are looking for a fresh look or complete redesign, I can help. A beautiful landscape adds value to your home, improves your neighborhood and definitely brings you endless happiness.

Graduation season hits different when your house becomes the place everyone wants to celebrate.

The food table stays full.
The pool never empties.
Parents are talking under the porch.
Kids are running around barefoot outside.
And somehow the party keeps going long after sunset.

Because before?
This backyard wasn’t built for moments like that.

Now it is.

Every part of this space was designed to make hosting feel easy:
• Pool + spa remodel
• Custom wood deck + covered gabled porch
• Steel privacy screens
• Fresh landscaping + new sod
• Landscape lighting
• Irrigation + drainage upgrades

Not bigger.
Not overdone.
Just designed the right way.

Because the best backyards aren’t the ones that only look good online.

They’re the ones where memories happen.

Graduation parties.
Summer cookouts.
Late-night conversations.
Family gatherings that somehow turn into core memories.

If your backyard still feels like wasted space…
don’t spend another summer avoiding it.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember.

We honor the heroes who gave their lives in service to our country and the families whose love and sacrifice endures.

Their courage built the freedom we enjoy.

Their legacy deserves a moment of stillness, of thanks, and of reflection.

At Hen and Chix, we believe that nature offers space to remember whether it’s a quiet garden path, a blooming flagstone bed, or a single flower planted in someone’s honor.

Today, we remember. And we are grateful.

Stop ripping everything out just because it doesn’t look right.

That’s how people waste thousands.

Most yards don’t need a full redesign.
They need structure, balance, and a few smart upgrades.

This was a simple refresh:

• Extended borders for cleaner definition
• Adjusted plant placement for better flow
• Added new layers for fullness
• Finished with mulch and proper care

Nothing excessive. Just intentional.

And the result speaks for itself.

If your yard feels messy or incomplete, don’t start over blindly.

This is what most people get wrong about their front yard:

They think adding more will fix it.

More plants. More features. More “design.”

But that’s exactly why it ends up looking messy.

A clean, expensive-looking yard isn’t about adding more.
It’s about having structure.

Look at this space:

• Defined edges that create order
• Open space that lets everything breathe
• Minimal planting that doesn’t feel crowded
• A layout that feels balanced without trying too hard

Nothing here is random.

That’s the difference.

Most yards fail because they’re built piece by piece…
instead of following one clear plan.

That’s where we come in.

We design the entire landscape first then coordinate everything to make sure it actually comes out the way it’s supposed to.

No guesswork. No mismatched results.

If you want your front yard to feel clean, intentional, and put together…

Send me a message to book your consultation we’ll map out a front yard that actually looks intentional.

Texas Temps Are Rising — Is Your Garden Ready for Summer?

The heat is on its way, and your garden needs the right prep to stay healthy and vibrant. Before June brings the full blast of summer, here are smart, simple steps to help your landscape thrive with less stress all season long:

✅ Feed your soil
Enrich garden beds and containers with compost now to boost soil health and help plants stand strong against summer stress.

✅ Check your irrigation system
Test for clogged heads or leaks, and set your timer to water early in the morning when evaporation is lowest.

✅ Cut back spring growth
Trim overgrown plants and faded blooms to encourage new growth and keep summer flowers coming.

✅ Add mulch or top it off
A fresh layer of mulch helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weeds especially critical in Texas heat.

✅ Swap in heat-tough color
Choose sun-hardy annuals like vinca, salvia, lantana, and purslane that deliver bold color and thrive in extreme temps.

✅ Inspect for pests
Look under leaves and along stems for early signs of pest activity catching problems early makes treatment easier.

✅ Add shade or move containers
Protect delicate plants by relocating them or adding temporary shade for the hottest part of the day.

✅ Clean & sharpen garden tools
A quick reset for your gear makes summer gardening smoother and helps reduce plant damage from dull blades.

💡 Pro Tip: Work with the season, not against it. A little effort now means less watering, fewer plant losses, and more color all summer long. 🌼

This is what happens when a backyard is designed with intention.

At the start, the space had potential but it wasn’t being fully used.

So we reimagined everything around how the homeowners actually wanted to live.

A pool and spa became the centerpiece built for both relaxation and entertaining.

We expanded the existing porch to create more room, then added a fireplace and outdoor kitchen to make it a true gathering space.

For year-round comfort, recessed heaters and ceiling fans were built in because a great backyard should work in every season.

A custom fence and sliding gate added privacy, while a decorative brick wall helped separate the space and give it a more finished, elevated feel.

And for something a little unexpected a 4-hole putting green and chipping pad, designed for both fun and function.

Every detail was intentional, right down to furniture placement and the landscape lighting that completely transforms the space at night.

Wait — don’t scroll.

This backyard didn’t start like this.

It was underused, crowded, and missing any real purpose.

So we redesigned the entire space around how the homeowners actually wanted to live.

A pool and spa became the centerpiece.
The porch was expanded with a fireplace and full outdoor kitchen.
Recessed heaters and ceiling fans made the space comfortable year-round.

Then came the details that completely changed the feel of the backyard:

A custom fence and sliding gate for added privacy.
A decorative brick wall that added separation and character.
And a 4-hole putting green to make the space feel fun and interactive not just beautiful.

And at night?

The lighting brings the entire backyard to life.

Same backyard.
Completely different experience.

Most homeowners don’t realize how much potential their backyard actually has until they redesign it with intention.

So now I’m curious…

What would make YOU use your backyard more?

Senior Tea season will always hold a special kind of magic ✨☕️🎓

We gathered to celebrate two amazing seniors and all the excitement that comes with this once-in-a-lifetime chapter. It was a day filled with laughter, meaningful conversations, joyful moments, and so much love as they prepare to step into their next adventure. 💐

There’s something so special about slowing down for milestones like these honoring friendships, celebrating how far they’ve come, and looking ahead to all the possibilities waiting for them. Watching these girls enjoy this season surrounded by the people who love them most made the day even sweeter. 🤍

Such a beautiful reminder to pause, celebrate, and cherish the moments that become lasting memories.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give a graduating senior stepping into a new season of life? ✨

Not every backyard feels like this.

But it can.

These spaces weren’t just designed to look good
they’re built for real life.

For slow mornings.
Easy weekends.
Time outside that actually feels relaxing.

Clean layouts.
Low-maintenance lawns.
Spaces that are ready whenever you are.

Because the best backyards don’t need constant fixing.

They just work.

Save this for your future space.

From fading… to functional, finished, and finally being used.

This backyard already had the hard part:
beautiful mature trees, natural shade, and plenty of space.

But it still felt unfinished.

So instead of starting over, we worked with what was already there and made it work better.

We extended the bed lines for smoother flow.
Added layered planting for a softer, more lived-in feel.
Updated irrigation and drainage so the entire space functions better.
And installed turf for a cleaner, low-maintenance lawn year-round.

Now?

The whole backyard feels greener, calmer, and far more inviting.

The kind of space you actually want to spend time in.

(And yes… the dog approves.)

If your backyard looks “fine” but still feels like something’s missing… that’s usually a design issue not a space issue.
