Client Stories of Regeneration and Resilience

The work we do at Symbiosis TX is rooted in a simple idea. When land and water are treated with intention, science, and care, they can recover faster and more beautifully than most people expect. Our clients come to us with properties that are often depleted or underperforming, and together we create healthy, productive, water-wise systems that support long-term ecological and human wellbeing.

These testimonials highlight what regeneration looks like in real life. They show the results of collaborative design, clear planning, and a commitment to restoring function to Central Texas land. Each story offers a firsthand look at the transformation that becomes possible when water, soil, and thoughtful design guide the process.

Mike and Ariel have consistently gone above and beyond – Ariel even took the time to help me get my tractor shredder attached and running. They have offered solutions on things that have made all the difference. We were lucky to have them! These guys and their team are quality – they know what they are doing and have great communication. Cannot recommend them enough!

Michael and his team are amazing. My wife and I have loved every interaction we have had with him and his team. They started by designing a food forest plan for us on our half acre city lot. We then are picking and choosing what we want to do and what we want Symbiosis to do. They have been super easy going through this process and are willing to do whatever we need to do. They installed a dry creek bed around our house that has successfully diverted the massive amounts of water that come towards our house during heavy rainfall events. We are excited to continue working with them and finish transforming our lot!

We have 18 acres and thanks to Mike and his crew we are on our way to being a productive permaculture farm. We knew we wanted a Permaculture design and I know just enough to have probably messed the whole thing up. We have a great map to follow now; this saves us from making huge costly mistakes that we would have to go in and re-work. I cannot recommend them enough.

These guys are amazing. My house took on water when torrential rains hit. Mike and his team solved all my drainage problems using environmentally sensitive techniques that cost thousands less than conventional approaches and he came in under budget!!! I can not recommend these guys any higher. Wonderful!

This company is the creme de la creme. As a long time gardener and environmentalist, I would always be very cautious about who I allowed to work on my land. These folks absolutely know about all facets of Texas-friendly plants, and design techniques that make smart use of water. They are thoroughly versed in permaculture, vegetable gardening, food forest design, native plants, and other pollinator-friendly and beautiful designs. In other words, they know how to combine plants that work together to get the results you want. They are totally professional and pleasant, too, and I felt very relaxed and at ease having them around. Absolutely recommended!

I’ve worked with Mike Wolfert & his excellent team several times over the years, both for my private home and for apartment properties I oversee through my work. I couldn’t recommend Symbiosis more highly: Their team knows Central Texas plants and does a great job balancing classic permaculture approaches with a property owner’s needs. In our most recent project, they took out trees, built beds, added fence, filled in off-alley parking spots built an outdoor living area with built-in furniture, and created a grassy space for our toddler. I can’t think of another company that could meet all those different types of needs. Kudos to Symbiosis and thanks!

A miraculous transformation” would be an accurate way to describe the beautiful impact that Michael/ Justin/ Symbiosis has had on our land here in Wimberley. Within one year of planting, we now have wildflowers that are literally 5 feet tall. We have grass where a donkey paddock used to be, we have mitigated our drainage issues, we have garden boxes sprouting veggies, we have a lovely trellis built, now covered in vines. The team is knowledgeable, respectful of our land, professional, and pleasant to work with. We will continue to use Symbiosis, as well as recommend them highly to anyone who asks.
Ezra
I’m so amazed by the transformation! They’ve created a magical world from what was wild. We still have wild, but now we also have beautify paths and a stream bed to catch the rainwater, and divert it into our pond! Plus, they’re both super professional, and great fun people to talk to and hang out with. They rolled with our aesthetic choices, as they changed. We’re all together super happy, and recommend them heartily. Thank you Symbiosis!
Bean
Loved working with Michael and his crew! They did amazing work at our house here in Austin and are so knowledgeable on permaculture and landscape design. They are a great group of people who are so communicative and hard working. We love how they transformed our outside space. Highly recommend them!!
Casey
Could not be happier working with Symbiosis…and we will continue to utilize their expertise and services. They went above and beyond what we expected. We look forward to be able to continue the process of developing our intelligently designed (by Symbiosis) permaculture homestead.

Quarry Site Regeneration – Wimberley, Texas

This project transformed a previously unwanted 3–4 acre barren quarry lot into a thriving, green, water-resilient landscape. Through contour-based earthworks, retention ponds, strategic soil rebuilding, and large-scale native planting, the land shifted from exposed rock and erosion to what is now becoming a fully functional pasture ecosystem. The rapid recovery after even small rain events highlights the success of the hydrologic redesign and regenerative systems installed by Symbiosis TX.

“The transformation has been remarkable. What used to be a barren quarry with a single weed is now becoming a real pasture, and the swales and ponds fill after even a small rain.”

Planting 4000 Trees – Cuero, Texas

This project revitalized a failed olive orchard by transforming it into a thriving, biodiversity-rich food forest. Symbiosis TX planted more than 4,000 trees using a combination of regenerative systems including Miyawaki microforest establishment, syntropic agroforestry rows, rotational grazing design, and detailed food-forest planting plans tailored to the site’s soils and microclimates. What began as a depleted monoculture is now evolving into a layered, resilient ecosystem designed to produce food, improve soil health, restore habitat, and create long-term climate resilience for the land.

"I wanted to scale up and do it right, and you helped me think through the whole vision instead of just planting trees. You knew exactly what I needed to hear."

Building an Ultra Sustainable Home – Wimberley, Texas

This project transformed an 11-acre property marked by cedar overgrowth and oak decline into an integrated regenerative homestead built around water resilience and ecological restoration. Working collaboratively with the homeowners, Symbiosis TX designed and constructed a home that aligns with a long-term vision for land recovery, incorporating advanced rainwater harvesting, high-quality filtration systems, and a holistic hydrological approach that began with understanding the property’s water potential. What is often a stressful building process became creative and enjoyable for the clients as the house and land were shaped together as one system — turning a once “dead piece of land” into a water-secure, life-supporting foundation for their future.

More Info Coming soon

“People say building a house is stressful, but we have only found it fun because the process has been creative, collaborative, and focused on bringing this land back to life.”
