Fall: The Perfect Time to Consider Investing in a Pool
September 2025
When it comes to designing your outdoor space, most people think of fresh sod, flower beds and neatly trimmed hedges. But Ryan Boyd, owner of Twisted Vines, wants you to think bigger. Much bigger.
“Landscaping is just the beginning,” Boyd says. “We’re not just planting shrubs. We’re building outdoor lifestyles. Every backyard has the potential to be a place where people gather, relax and make memories. That’s what we do at Twisted Vines—we bring those possibilities to life.”
Boyd’s message: Turn your ordinary yard into an extraordinary extension of your home.
Think custom feature buildouts:
• Outdoor kitchens
• Pergolas
• Fire features
• Water elements
• Built-in seating
• Landscape lighting
• Outdoor audio
Firms such as Twisted Vines help homeowners unlock the full potential of their property.
“We approach each project with a builder’s mindset, not just a landscaper’s,” Boyd says. “We’re looking at how the space flows, how it’s used and how we can enhance that experience with structure and design. A good yard looks nice, but a great yard works for you.”
Twisted Vines, for example, offers a full-service design-build model. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, their team handles each step for homeowners to ensure quality, consistency, and creativity throughout the process.
“Homeowners shouldn’t have to juggle five different contractors to make one space work,” Boyd says. “We handle it all in-house—design, hardscaping, lighting, planting—so the vision stays unified and the results are seamless.”
One of Twisted Vines’ signature strengths is helping clients rethink underutilized areas—side yards, sloped terrain, awkward corners—and transforming them into functional features.
“We love a challenge,” Boyd says with a smile. “That narrow space behind your garage? That could be a grilling station or a private seating nook. The slope in your backyard? We can terrace it with retaining walls and plantings to make it usable and beautiful.”
Twisted Vines also prioritizes materials that complement the natural surroundings and the architecture of the home. Whether it’s warm-toned stonework or native plantings, each project is customized to reflect the homeowner’s style and the environment.
“Our goal is to make the outdoor space feel like an intentional part of the home, not an afterthought,” Boyd says. “We’re blending form and function—beauty and purpose.”
It’s no surprise that clients often return for additional phases or refer friends and neighbors. The Twisted Vines experience doesn’t end when the last paver is laid.
“We build relationships,” says the civic-minded Boyd, whose company is also the official landscaper of McNeese State University. “This is someone’s home, their sanctuary. We take that seriously. When we finish a project and the family can’t wait to host their first barbecue or spend evenings around the fire pit—that’s the reward.”
If you’re looking at your yard and thinking about what’s possible, Twisted Vines might be the partner you need to take it to the next level. Because as Boyd puts it, “You don’t need more space. You just need to make the most of the space you already have.”
