The Heights landscaping
Built for The Heights yards, soil, and weather.
Houston Heights' narrow urban lots, many on historic pier-and-beam foundations, require careful load planning before any hardscape. The area's older stormwater infrastructure means even a modest storm can overwhelm a yard with no designed drainage. We account for lot width, foundation type, and block-level drainage quirks when designing Heights yards, keeping the aesthetic consistent with the neighborhood's craftsman character.
Drainage engineered for clay and rain
Most The Heights 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 The Heights 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.
