About Texascapes

Austin protects its views by law: the Capitol View Corridors keep sightlines to the dome open from points all over the city, so its sunset-red granite still shows above the rooftops. Texascapes works on a smaller canvas with the same respect for a good view, the one from the front step. On a clear October morning, after the first cold front has scrubbed the haze out of the sky, a freshly mowed lawn with crisp borders looks as wide and orderly as the state in its name. Mowing, edging, trimming and seasonal cleanup keep the yard framed and in proportion, a piece of Texas landscape scaled to a single lot. It's a view worth keeping clear.
