The idea

More than landscaping.
More useful than decoration.

Desert Table & Garden creates refined outdoor spaces where food can be grown, washed, cooked, served, and shared. Each piece is designed to work hard, age honestly, and belong to the architecture around it.

Reading the catalog

Useful numbers, without false precision

What the range means.

Published prices are 2026 planning ranges. A final proposal follows a site review and confirms exactly what is included.

Included

Design + fabrication

Core materials, custom fabrication, standard finishes, and the installation work described in the approved scope.

Site variables

Access + infrastructure

Difficult access, demolition, drainage, foundations, utilities, engineering, and permit needs can move a project within or beyond the published range.

Protected

A clear proposal

Before work is scheduled, you receive a defined scope, selections, payment schedule, allowances, and written change process.

Complete environments

Plans and full scopes available on request

Start with one piece. Build toward a whole room.

Garden studios, fire-and-feast courtyards, food/fire/water environments, and Hill Country kitchen landscapes are developed as custom commissions. Tell us how you want to use the space and we will send the most relevant plans and examples.

Signature Residence No. 001

The Renaissance Garden

A corner-lot family home in Round Rock is becoming our living case study in concrete, cedar, weathering steel, native limestone, Texas gravel, edible planting, water, and warm architectural light.

The phased plan connects an arrival garden, dining terrace, outdoor kitchen, great lawn, orchard and pollinator garden, water sanctuary, children’s discovery garden, kitchen garden, and guest casita. Progress will be documented from installation through maturity.

How it works

A clear path from idea to installation

Built around the site.

01

Project conversation

We clarify how you want to gather, grow, cook, and use the space, then identify the strongest starting point.

02

Site + design package

A paid design engagement of $950–$1,500 covers site review, concept direction, scope, and a working budget. The fee is credited to construction.

03

Proposal + build

Final pricing follows dimensions, finishes, access, delivery, utility needs, and required trade coordination. Work is scheduled after scope approval.

A Metcalfe Advisory offering

Let’s make the outside matter.

Bring us the yard, courtyard, patio, restaurant terrace, or one troublesome corner. We’ll begin with how you want the space to work and build outward from there.

Request a project conversation

Include your city, a few photos, the approximate project area, and what you most want to do outside.

Catalog pricing is a planning range, not a final quote. Site conditions, selections, delivery, utilities, permits, and trade coordination can change the final proposal.
