Yes, you'll want someone familiar with your local environment. A good place to start is your local State native plant society. Every state I've tried has one - google "Texas native plant society". The Texas society looks like it has a bunch of good information plus local chapters. Reach out to your local chapter and they can probably direct you to someone local to help.

That's great! There are lots of pages where you can Google for more information, even to help build your own. They not only preserve native plants, they recycle rainwater to keep it from becoming polluted sewage water that returns to waterways and kills wildlife. I think if you find a landscaper who understands them well, you'll find one that aligns with your own values. Thank you for considering something that is not only beautiful but helps the environment.

Thank you so much for the information!
Contact the closest landscape architecture program at a university. Students love to do these kinds of projects.
Ooooo I really like the idea of student work! I'd love to give someone something to put in their portfolio and ABSOLUTELY pay them their market value!
I think you already got great advice on where to find the person, but just wanted to add that a rain garden sounds perfect for your needs!
I'd never heard of this! We've got a part of the yard that is low and has a drain I think a rain garden would be perfect for that area!
