Montgomery keeps its past close to the surface: the old storefronts and antique shops downtown, the historic homes, the town's proud claim to being the birthplace of the Texas flag. C4 Landscape & Design brings a similar sense of intention to the ground around a house, laying out beds, plantings and lawn so they look as if the house grew up around them. A design in this town has to answer to deep shade, sudden bright clearings and summers that punish anything set in the wrong spot. On a cool autumn afternoon, with low gold light slanting across the yards, a well-drawn landscape reveals itself in the details: the sweep of a bed edge, the line the eye follows to the front door. C4 plans and installs landscapes meant to hold that clarity, season after season.
