Blue Heron Designs, Inc., founded in 1973 has, since it’s beginning, been a leader in many creative aspects of the “Green” industry.

Originally based in Dripping Springs, Texas, the company relocated the main offices to Midland, Texas in 1976 and began a quest to become the “most successful, creative and complete exterior design/ build firm in Texas”.

Blue Heron Designs’ founder and President, Randy Rodgers, has kept this goal in mind and is recognized throughout the Southwest for creative and unique landscape design and installation. During the decade in Midland, the company designed and built many residential and commercial projects throughout West Texas and New Mexico.

The associated decorative concrete firm, Specialty Concrete has provided creative input for many residential and commercial projects in Texas as well as Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe.

In 1984 we opened offices in San Antonio at the Los Patios Environment at Salado Creek and Loop 410. Now located in Northeast San Antonio, Blue Heron continues to create many wonderful landscapes in Central and South Texas. We continue the search for new products, exciting and talented artists, dedicated subcontractors and new plants to enrich outdoor environments.

Overview and philosophy

An understanding and love for gardens and an ability to communicate with the client are the major elements which have distinguished Blue Heron Designs, Inc. as a leading residential design/build exterior contracting firm in the Southwest.

Blue Heron can undertake residential projects of varied scope and character. The best possible use is made of the inherent site and project potential and each client and location is viewed individually. We believe that outdoor spaces should be aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly, they must be functional, safe and exciting environments.

Blue Heron Designs utilizes environmental analysis, conceptual designs, drawings, construction details and follow up visits to insure that client expectations are fulfilled and the budgets are met.

Striving to be the most creative business of its kind has always been a challenge that none of the team takes lightly. Successful construction in the building of these environments is measured by how well the design can meet the desired function and projected budget for each project.

The desire to communicate, the primary element of Blue Heron’s success, coupled with 42 years of experience in the “Green Industry” has given Randy Rodgers, his related companies and his team of subcontractors an inside understanding of the necessary integration to complete projects in a timely and efficient manner.
