Team Spirit Turns the Wheel

The sloping site was engineered to create a series of terraces geared to the needs of the Knaggs family. Kirwin and Bart, using native materials, designed the dining table and benches, while log stools around the firepit were hewn from a mesquite tree salvaged from Kirwin’s property near San Antonio. Architectural salvage and recycled materials are what give the garden décor its hand-crafted character. Says Kirwin, “Austin gardens have true sense of place because people here support using native plants and materials; it makes sense environmentally as well as cost-wise.”
