Before and after, one neighbor at a time

Hazard clearance and full yard overhaul, regenerative native refresh, then digital storytelling that funds the next family's rescue.

Before & After

One day of help, and a yard they can love again

See the full before and after portfolio
After a Yard Reboot: the same brick home with the walkway cleared and edged, a freshly mowed lawn, and planting beds full of Texas Hill Country natives including purple coneflower, blackeyed Susan, Texas lantana, autumn sage, Texas sage, an agave accent, and Gulf muhly grass.
Before a Yard Reboot: a single story Austin brick home almost hidden behind waist high weeds, tangled brush, and fallen branches, with only a narrow cracked walkway visible through the overgrowth.

  1. Stage 1

    Emergency Clearance & Code Abatement

    Clearing tall brush, opening sightlines, cutting back dense understory growth, and wiping out pending municipal code fines before they become liens.

  2. Stage 2

    Accessible Garden & Habitat Refresh

    Waist-high 30 inch ergonomic cedar garden boxes and low-maintenance native pollinator pockets, so residents can stay connected to their land without bending, kneeling, or strain.

  3. Stage 3

    Digital Storytelling & Ecosystem Growth

    With permission, we film the transformation to educate the public on senior housing security and generate revenue that funds the next neighbor's restoration.
