As the cool temperatures move in, wouldn't it be great to have an outdoor fireplace?

We were so excited to finish this outdoor fireplace just in time for fall.  We also did a flagstone patio to define the sitting area around the fireplace.  We also did a moss rock retaining wall.

Congrats to Scott Wiatrek

We were honored that DR Horton choose Preferred Landsacpe and Lighting as one of their invaluable contractors this year.  Scott Wiatrek was at their event this week and was excited Preferred has had so many great opportunities to work with DR Horton.  Great job Scott!

Looking for inspiration?

This Saturday, Oct. 5, nine unique, water-savvy landscapes will be showcased from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the annual WaterSaver Landscape Tour. It's self-guided and best of all — free!
Every year the tour focuses on urban and suburban landscapes designed for low maintenance and low water use. Some of the features they share include: drip irrigation, native plants, colorful drought-tough perennials and little-to-no lawn space. Most importantly, each landscape offers simple ideas that can be incorporated into any South Texas yard.
Some of the more interesting features this year include:

• Neighbors working together to create sweeping landscapes that benefit both yards.
• Plant combinations that flow seamlessly from sunny areas to shady areas.
• Mash-ups of whimsical art and drought-tolerant plants.

At each stop, the Gardening Volunteers of South Texas will serve as tour guides.
The landscapes were selected through a nomination process in late summer. The tour is sponsored by San Antonio Water System, San Antonio River Authority and the Gardening Volunteers of South Texas.

Beautiful Planters

Here  are some pictures of a recent project we did.  We love the way the planters turned out!

Recognition Wednesday: Diana Esqueda

Diana Esqueda has done an outstanding job of working with the H2B workers and getting them "in-processed", this is a crazy, time consuming task that requires attention to detail. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty to be in early and stay late to work with these employees and help get our crews ready for the Holiday season. While completing these extra tasks she has managed to stay on point with most of her day to day duties and still get payroll processed seamlessly. Way to go Diana.

Short, Simple and to the point!

Here is a comment from a recently completed residential job.  We will put up some after pictures later this week.
