About Me
I am a professional engineer with degrees from Texas A&M University and LSU. I began my career in hazardous waste management in the early 1980's and made a natural transition to stormwater management over the last 15 years. I serve the Central Texas area and I'm based in San Marcos.
My specialties and passions are stormwater management practices that mimic nature (Low Impact Development), testing for infiltration, and inspecting construction and built practices for quality assurance and good functionality.
I can save you valuable time by leveraging my in-depth knowledge of local codes and state regulations while working collaboratively with you on your projects.
Native Grasses
Beauty and Functionality
Native grasses have deep roots that help make them drought tolerant - ideal for low impact development. This blend of curly mesquite, buffalo and blue gramma native grass improves the soil’s ability to soak in rain and reduce runoff. By planting these native grasses we can bring the prairie back into our urban settings saving water, increasing plant diversity and improving air quality.
Did you know?
- 80% of homeowner water demand is used on irrigation of turf grass
- Prairie grasses use less water, no pesticides or fertilizer
- Prairie grasses stay greener in drought, needing water only once every 2 weeks
Pictured here, the mix of short grasses are available as Habiturf ™ from the LBJ Wildflower Center and as Thunder Turf ™ Mix from Native American Seed. Lisa has her front lawn planted in this beautiful native grass blend and can testify to the great feeling of having a little bit of country right here in town. You can, too.
