"I used to spend hours covering my huge corner lot garden beds before every freeze just to have most things die and then have a well intentioned landscaping crew help replace things at nauseam. Having Bev help me make wise design choices using native plants was like using a fast-forward cheat code with her deep well of knowledge. I now have a thriving ecosystem full of butterflies, birds, and beautiful plants. I no longer panic to cover anything in the winter! Highly recommend letting Bev help you solve your problems and design a beautiful, functional space to love."

"Working with Beverly was a seamless and enjoyable process. She communicates wonderfully and really listens to her clients desires and wishes. I was really thankful that she had examples of different styles during the planning process because I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted or how to describe it. The final product she delivers is very well thought out and super easy to implement. I love my new garden beds and am having so much fun watching everything grow. I have recommended Beverly to several friends and family members and they have all enjoyed their experience with her as well."

“I decided that I wanted to incorporate new landscaping, which consisted of using Texas native plants, at a home I purchased. Like many of us here in Houston, I wanted to enjoy beautiful plants, while being able to keep them alive and thriving. We all know the challenges of Houston's extreme weather conditions and what it does to our gardens. Summers consist of our extreme, dry, and hot summer sun to our windy, cold, and winter hard freeze temperatures. The previous landscape at this property was barely living and full of weeds, so I decided to align with the existing environment and use natives. They are everything we want in a low maintenance landscape, requiring little water and drought tolerant, while stabilizing the clay soil, and providing a habitat for beneficial pollinators and other living creatures.

I began to search the internet and asked people, as well as local garden stores, for someone who specialized in working with natives. This was how I was able to find and meet Beverly at Bayou Native. Beverly is a professional. She is very easy to work with, communicative, thoughtful, and a patient listener to feedback. She provided a lot of information in regards to the landscape and plants, as well as visuals (with alternatives) to match aesthetic or availability of specific plants. In the end, Beverly was able to create what I asked for: a cottage garden style landscape made exclusively with Texas natives. The sustainable native landscape design looks cohesive at my home on acreage. Beverly's expertise allowed for the right plants to exist on my site specific layout and helped with a contact for the installation of the design.

I am very thankful for all the time and assistance that Beverly provided. I would recommend Bayou Native Landscape Services to anyone who is interested in easy, sustainable, and native landscapes. This year during our winter freeze, I lost ZERO plants. I even had flowers alive and well on plants when we were below freezing, the plants did not turn to mush or drop leaves and flowers! I did cover them this year due to being planted in late November, but next year's plan is to leave them alone. My new landscaping continues to grow and bloom continuously.”

"I could not be happier with the design. I love the bands of color that complement the curved bed. I love that the plan includes flowers for all seasons, from spring to fall, and winter interest. I could have never planned that out on my own."

"Working with Bev was a delight. She was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand my space and preferences. I'd whole heartedly recommend her to anyone wanting a beautifully designed landscape of native plants!"

“Working with Beverly was a pleasure! Her enthusiasm and knowledge about native plants was infectious. The process was fun and informative, and the results of my native landscaping growing year by year and evolving has been a joy to watch!”
