West University landscaping
Built for West University yards, soil, and weather.
West University's quarter-acre lots sit in a dense, shaded neighborhood where every square foot counts. The Brays Bayou floodplain nearby makes flood-conscious grading a baseline expectation, not an upgrade. We design West U yards to maximize the outdoor living footprint within the setbacks, engineer drainage to code, and select planting that thrives under a dense canopy.
Drainage engineered for clay and rain
Most West University 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 West University 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.
