Frequently asked questions
Before We Begin.
A few common questions about project fit, design and the way Solstice works.
Rooted in Dripping Springs since 2007, Solstice has grown alongside the area. We bring knowledge of the local climate and its changing challenges to each project, listening to your wants and needs and guiding the work from the first conversation through installation.
We discuss your property, expectations and scope of work to establish whether the project is a good fit for you and our team. We also review site conditions and potential drainage problems so they can be considered in the landscape plan.
The design process typically takes about a month. Timing varies with the scale of the project and our current workload; we will discuss the expected schedule with you.
Our team focuses on complete landscape design-build projects, so we do not offer repair-only visits. Irrigation, lighting and drainage work can be included within a larger landscape project.
Project investment starts at $10,000 and varies with size, site conditions and scope. We assess the complete project during consultation. Explore project investment ranges.
We consider both native and adapted plants, selected for water needs, site conditions, appearance and the overall landscape design.
