The Lost Pines Landscape + Remodel balances big design decisions with fine detailing. To make the new spaces inviting, we approached the extensive exterior remodel by first thinking big—using over-sized forms that match the grand scale of the existing house so that the additions feel completely intrinsic and logical rather than foreign. From there, we went small, finishing those bold forms with finer details and tactile textures designed to entice the homeowners outside, such as rusting, pencil-thin steel planter boxes, live-edge cedar benches, and smaller-leaf native plantings.

This thoughtful blend of elements honors the property’s heritage. While the previous home had a former life as the estate of a county sheriff + avid Lone-Star-collector, we share that regional enthusiasm through materials genuinely made in Texas, including patina steel, native plants, and eastern red cedar sourced right from East Texas. The comprehensive transformation brings it all together with a new landscaped walkway, steel planters, a reorganized and resurfaced patio garden, a custom screened porch, roof deck railings, shade sails, and functional rain gardens.
