The Outdoor Space
You're Ready to Build

Front yards, backyards, side yards, and full acreages — we design and install landscapes, hardscapes, water features, and irrigation across Greater Houston with 30 years of expertise behind every decision.

01

New Builds

Working alongside your builder from the ground up — planting, irrigation, hardscape, and lighting all spec'd and installed before you move in.

02

Redesigns

Your yard isn't working for how you live now. We design and install a complete reimagining — new layout, new plantings, new hardscape, new feel.

03

Upgrades

The biggest projects we build are often for homeowners who already have a good space and want to take it further — feature lighting, expanded hardscape, mature specimen plantings, water features.

01

Landscape Design & Installation

The living foundation of your outdoor space. We design planting plans that account for Houston's heat, humidity, and soil — and install them to thrive for years, not just through the first season.

Irrigation & Drainage Systems

Houston's weather is extreme in both directions — blistering summers that demand efficient irrigation and heavy rain seasons that demand proper drainage. Getting both right protects everything else you've invested in your outdoor space.

How a Project Gets Built

Thirty years in Greater Houston means we've worked out a process that respects your time, keeps surprises to a minimum, and gets your outdoor space finished right.

01

On-Site Consultation

We walk your property with you — front yard, back yard, the whole picture. No assumptions made from photos or addresses. This is where we understand what you actually want.

02

Design Presentation

We present a visual plan showing your plantings and irrigation layout. You review it, we discuss it, and nothing moves forward until you're satisfied with what's been designed.

03

Proposal

One clear number based on your approved plan. If you want to add or change anything, we work through it together.

04

Installation

We schedule and sequence the work to minimize disruption to your property and your routine. Weather and logistics are part of every Houston project — we manage them so you don't have to.

05

Walkthrough

We walk every finished project with you before we're done. If we installed a smart irrigation controller, we walk you through how to operate it. You shouldn't have to figure anything out on your own.

No Project Too Big. No Project Too Small.

A new sod install, a full property redesign, a pond you've been thinking about for years — we want to build it with you. Every project starts the same way: a free on-site consultation and a conversation about what you want your outdoor space to become.
