New Name, New Game

Our parent company is still NativeDave, Inc. But after more than two decades of providing a full array of landscape services, we are transitioning into a new era: growing operations! 

When we relocated from DFW-Denton to Texas' Coastal Bend, we found that plants native to this area were unavailable in the nursery trade. We procured some of the common natives that overlap with larger markets in Texas, but in order to complete our projects, we started growing the truly coastal natives. Gradually, other contractors and retail nurseries learned about our plants and begin purchasing from us for their customers. Ultimately, we discovered that growing and selling rare and unusual native plants would be the next logical iteration for NativeDave. Beginning in August 2023, we ceased all landscape opertions and shifted our focused on delivering locally grown, truly coastal native plants at wholesale prices to the public. We hope you will join us soon for one of our upcoming plant sales at Rockport Daily Grind, 302 S Austin St, Rockport, TX, 78382.

Remaining Plant Sale dates 2024:
Saturdays 9a to noon:

Other dates will be added to this post when available.

Thank you for 20+ years of support for our business, our family, and our community!

Working with Us

Thank you for your interest in our sustainable landscape solutions. We are a team consisting of educated and experienced horticulture professionals, naturalists, and artists who create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Our focus is native plants for the purposes of conserving, preserving, restoring and celebrating a region's natural identity. Since our inception in 2001, our goal has been to make positive changes in our community by informing its residents about native plants and sustainable landscape methods. We have presented hundreds of educational programs related to these topics, and several of our projects have garnered awards from the cities of Dallas, Plano and Denton. Although we have relocated our operations and family to Texas' Coastal Bend, we continue to serve clients located in the Dallas-Ft. Worth-Denton and Austin regions.
Our Services
Each project is unique and receives customized suggestions. To help guide us and you through the planning phase, we request that you complete our new client questionnaire. Please send us a message at nativedaveinc@gmail.com and ask for this document. When you return the completed form, please also include a few photos of the project site.
Site visit/consultation -- estimated cost: $75 for one hour (notes only), $125-150 for up to two hours (notes and sketch). We will visit your property and make recommendations based on your responses to our questionnaire. Payment is due when services are rendered.
Design -- estimated cost: $400-900+, depending on size and scope of your project. Please submit a current and legible copy of your survey or plat plan with your questionnaire and photos. Your design package will include digital files of the following: 24x36" custom design, to scale; list of plants and materials, including common and botanical names; care and maintenance instructions; recommended sources for plant materials; and referrals to contractors in addition to our team who may assist you with part or all of the installation phase. When your design is complete, we will schedule an appointment by phone to review our recommendations. This usually takes about an hour, and we conduct these sessions in the evening and on weekends. Payment is due when services are rendered.
Installation -- estimated cost: based on your budgetary parameters or we can "design to the ideal", which is on average equal to approximately 5-10% of the value of your home. A deposit equal to one-half the estimated cost is required to begin your project.

We offer a warranty as follows: 1) warranty is valid for 90 days from date of installation; 2) all of our plants are guaranteed to be true to name, the correct quantity, and healthy at time of delivery; and 3) excludes loss due to weather; client neglect; or damage caused by humans, machinery or motorized vehicles, or wildlife. To ensure the success of your project, we suggest our maintenance service for at least the first 90 days from the date of installation.
Maintenance -- estimated cost: based on size and scope of your project. Our rates for maintenance are based on $55 per man hour.
