What We Do
We Plan
Leveridge Landscape Design specializes in transforming spaces. We focus on creating unique, water conscious designs that are sensitive to our central Texas climate and to your aesthetic desires and architecture. It is our philosophy that the backbone and success of any space is dependent on creative design and hardscaping.
We Execute
In a climate that can fluctuate between arid and (occasionally) tropical type conditions, we find that combining solid design with quality hardscaping and tried and tested planting schemes ensures that your space stays beautiful and hardy, no matter what mother nature throws at us.
Plant selection for color, texture and hardiness.
Hardscaping and design for structure and form, even in the winter months.
Consultation
The process begins with an initial consultation on your property to assess your area, hear your thoughts and get a general idea of site access, utilities and your wish list. The consultation will take approximately one hour and includes digital photography for use in the design phase.
Design
Good design is crucial to the success of any space. I work predominantly on top of digital photography to communicate a design scheme as this makes the visualization process easy for the client. The design process culminates in a series of mounted spec-sheets and renderings which clearly communicate layout, materials and planting selections.
Installation
Our expert installations and quality materials ensure the longevity of your newly designed space.

It was a great pleasure working with Philip. We had interviewed well over a dozen landscapers / landscape architects before coming across Philip’s site on the internet. None of the others could seem to envision a unique, compelling solution to our lawn. The minute he came out, we knew we had found someone different. Someone who could apply their creativity, vision and expertise to our backyard. Philip’s plan was truly unique while also meeting all of our goals (reduced water use, increased structure, low maintenance, kid friendly, etc.)
Philip was a pleasure to work with. The result is a truly stunning backyard that met every objective we set out and exceeded our expectations. Even as the plan evolved through installation, Philip remained flexible and able to accommodate changing requests. In the end, the project is a complete success. We love our new backyard. I highly recommend Philip to anyone considering a landscaping project.

Our home needed a face lift, we chose Leveridge Landscape Design for the project based on Phillip’s uniquely creative ideas. He was comfortable to work with, an excellent communicator, professional in every way. He guaranteed our satisfaction and truly exceeded expectations! The project was massive requiring several teams of pros Phillip supplied, they work tidy and were a delight to have around. Highly recommended! No regrets.

Philip Leveridge has worked on transforming my landscape for the last 18 months. He is brilliant at solving problems with run-off and water containment but his aesthetic vision is what separates him from other landscape designers. I have a very large garden and have had, over the years, many landscape companies offer suggestions– and most of them have been expensive and did not match what I asked for. Philip’s plans have given me finally exactly what I wanted– a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing landscape that is also water wise and filled with interesting “rooms.” We are still working on the final areas but I am confident that Philip will once again provide terrific service. He is always willing to return again and again to answer questions or adjust parts of the original vision.
I recommend him without reservation!

Phillip and Leveridge Landscape design were great!
Phillip came and listened to the style of yard I wanted, the key attributes and how to make best use of a small, urban/downtown front yard. Phillip came back with poster boards containing photoshop style mockups of the proposal which, if I recall correctly, were pretty much perfect.
They came to the house and executed the project exactly as described and scheduled, with quality materials and plants, stone etc. Over the following year only one of the plants died and Phillip was more than happy to replace it. Overall this was a great project and I am very happy with the outcome, especially now it has matured.

Philip,
It is exciting when we see how our front and back spaces quickly moved from imagination to reality. We certainly had ideas about what we wanted to accomplish; easy to care for, lots of green in the winter, plants that would survive not only the hot summers but our benign neglect. However, we were constantly frustrated in making that happen – too many trips to the plant stores with not much to show for our time and money. Fortunately you were available to help!
Once you heard what we wanted to accomplish, you created the design that led to the spaces we enjoy today – and even better than our initial imagination! We found that having a specific plan not only made it possible to get what we wanted, it let us spend our budget wisely. It was amazing how getting the hardscape done quickly created the backdrop for plantings that allowed our planting dollars to be well spent. We feel we now have our own small Shangri-la.
I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for beauty, sustainability, and who wants their investment in landscaping to be truly smart.

Hi Philip.
We wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying our new front yard. We are already spending a lot more quality time out there, and I know the neighbors love their new view. We were especially impressed by your flexible approach to the installation; it was really fun to watch the plan change and grow. Thank you for motivating us to get out and enjoy our space – Friday afternoon I spent some time mesmerized by honeybees and dragonflies swarming around the side garden, and it seems like every day we find something new to treasure. We had the house appraised last week, and the appraiser said the new yard really added to the value of the home. We agree”!
Best Regards,
Marc, Nora and Charles Balester.
