Alamo Heights · TX Completed 2024 · 3 units Operating

The street rests. The land drinks.

Three residential dry-creek bioswales in Alamo Heights. We read the slope before we draw the plan. Limestone armors the channel. Muhly grass and lindheimer catch the October light. Persimmon and prickly pear hold the food line. Twenty thousand gallons absorbed per storm — provision in the most ancient sense, dressed in restraint.

  • PlantingPersimmon · prickly pear · agave · muhly · native edibles.
  • Capacity~20,000 gal absorbed per rain event.

Water builds the room. Shade fills it.

In partnership with the San Antonio Housing Authority. A central catchment feeds an aqueduct that distributes water across acreage of native canopy, perennial planting, and gathering nodes. The whole site graded so every drop lands where it should. At dusk: path lighting up, salvia and lantana humming with bees and hummingbirds, limestone retainers aging into the soil. Water provided. Shade earned. Ecology compounding.

Resurrecting ways of the Missions.

Lawn out. Juniper out. Soil rebuilt with structural compost. Stone-retained planters frame a metal-roofed mid-century home, graded so morning rain feeds the beds, not the foundation. Salvia, lavender, ornamental grasses, agave, and prickly pear hold morning light and evening scent. A low-voltage walkway threads the entry. Irrigation dropped roughly seventy percent. Year-round bloom and texture. A yard that gets more refined every season, not more tired.
