Landscape design

Houston landscape design, rendered in 3D first.

Planting, grading, drainage and layout planned around how your family actually uses the yard, then built by the same team that designed it.

Design that gets built

A design is only as good as the crew that installs it.

Plenty of firms hand you a pretty plan and disappear. We design and build, so the drawing that wins you over is the same one we build, with no detail lost in translation. Every plan accounts for Houston's clay soil, heat and heavy rain from the first sketch, because a beautiful design that floods or bakes isn't a good design.

Planting for the Gulf Coast

A full planting plan suited to the Gulf Coast climate and to how much upkeep you want.

Drainage designed in

Grading, French drains and efficient irrigation engineered into the plan so the landscape stays healthy and usable.

Laid out for how you live

Paths, beds and open space placed around how you actually use the yard.

One accountable team

Designed and installed by the same people, so nothing is lost between the plan and the build.

What the design includes

One plan for the whole yard.

One coordinated Houston landscape design, not a stack of disconnected drawings. Each part is planned so it supports the next.

Site analysis and grading

We read the lot's slope, drainage, sun and soil before we draw a thing, so the design works with the site.

Planting design

Trees, beds and groundcover chosen for the Houston climate and layered for year-round interest.

FAQ

Landscape design questions, answered.

We start with a free consultation and walkthrough. For full design work we'll explain any design fee up front; for many build projects it's rolled into the proposal. You'll always know the number before you commit.

Most designs come together within a couple of weeks of the walkthrough, then we refine the 3D render with you until it's exactly right before any build begins.

Our strength is designing and building as one team, which is where the quality comes from. We're happy to talk through your goals at the consultation and find the right fit.

Yes. We design with Gulf Coast adapted, climate-appropriate planting and build irrigation to match, so the landscape thrives through heat, drought and downpours.
