Most homeowners think about the yard after the house is done, when the budget is mostly spent and the best opportunities are already gone. On Episode 37 of Work in Process, Daniel Glauser steps outside with Scott Cassel of Cassel Landscape Architects to talk about why landscape belongs at the table from day one.
Scott shares how he went from a career in DC politics to designing outdoor spaces in Austin, and why his firm builds every design it draws. He and Daniel dig into the details that make or break a project:
- Why drainage has to be solved before the foundation is poured, especially for Austin’s courtyard-style homes
- How planning house and landscape as one budget keeps the yard from getting cut at the end
- Choosing plants that survive Central Texas extremes, from summer heat to freeze events
- Building west of I-35 (rock and slope) versus east (expansive clay)
- Keeping cedars versus clearing them, and designing around heritage oaks
- The rise of the backyard as a second home, plus an honest take on artificial turf
Plus a lightning round on favorite trees, underrated materials, and Scott’s dream project.
