Houston, TX
Landscape design and build in Houston.
Custom landscapes, turf, hardscapes, and pools for Houston homeowners, designed with you and seen through start to finish by one local team.
Houston landscaping
Built for Houston yards, soil, and weather.
Houston's gumbo clay, heavy rain, and long heat are hard on outdoor projects. We design and build with that in mind, engineering drainage for our soil, choosing planting that thrives on the Gulf Coast, and installing turf and hardscape that hold up. 3D design is available on every project, and Chris oversees each one from start to finish.
Drainage engineered for clay and rain
Most Houston yards sit on heavy clay that holds water. Grading and drains are designed in from the start, so the yard is usable right after a storm.
Planting suited to the Gulf Coast
Plants chosen for Houston-area heat, humidity and wet winters, placed where they will actually thrive.
Owner oversight on every Houston project
Chris Helms oversees every project, so your yard is finished with the quality and craftsmanship Helms is known for.
Award-winning synthetic turf
Every lawn and green comes from the team behind the Synthetic Turf Council's 2023 Residential Project of the Year.
