New foundation planting across the front of a stone house

Local knowledge matters

Every part of Houston has its own ground rules.

Soil, drainage, lot sizes, HOAs, and flood maps change from one suburb to the next, and a design that works in Katy can fail in Kingwood. We build across the whole metro and design to each area's specific conditions, which is why we keep a dedicated page for every community we serve. Find yours below to see how we approach it.

Drainage engineered for each area's soil

Clay, fill and flood maps change from suburb to suburb, so grading and drains are designed for the ground you actually have.

Designs that satisfy local HOA guidelines

Master-planned communities come with design rules, and we design to them from the start.

Flood-conscious grading where it's needed

In lower-lying areas, grading and planting are laid out with the floodplain in mind.

Owner oversight on every project, metro-wide

Wherever you are in Greater Houston, Chris Helms oversees the work from start to finish.

Pool with a sheer descent wall and turf lawn

HoustonHouston's gumbo clay, heavy rain, and long heat are hard on outdoor projects.

Pool with a cabana and stone steppers set in turf

MemorialMemorial's large wooded lots and established tree canopy mean most yards are shaded, sloped, or both.

Pool and spa with loungers on a turf-bordered deck

BellaireBellaire's compact 50-foot lots demand thoughtful design, there's little margin for wasted space.

Wide travertine patio under a covered porch

West UniversityWest University's quarter-acre lots sit in a dense, shaded neighborhood where every square foot counts.

Pool with an umbrella over a sun ledge

The HeightsHouston Heights' narrow urban lots, many on historic pier-and-beam foundations, require careful load planning before any hardscape.

Front yard with young trees, planted beds and a turf strip along the drive

KatyKaty's master-planned communities come with tight drainage easements, strict HOA design guidelines, and the same heavy clay that pools water after a storm.

Backyard tennis court under open sky and live oaks

FulshearFulshear's newer master-planned communities offer larger lots than inner-loop Houston, but the flat Brazos bottomland topography means water has nowhere to go after a heavy rain.

Freeform pool edged with natural rock

RichmondRichmond sits in the Brazos River floodplain, and parts of the city saw serious inundation during Harvey.

Backyard putting green with red flags beside a single-story home

Sugar LandSugar Land's established neighborhoods and larger lots are made for full outdoor-living builds, but the flat lots and clay soil demand real drainage planning before any paver or pool goes in.

Backyard basketball court bordered by turf

Missouri CityMissouri City spans a wide range of neighborhood vintages, from 1980s subdivisions along Oyster Creek to newer communities in Sienna.

Pool with a slide and travertine deck bordered by turf

CypressCypress's sprawling new-build subdivisions typically feature large lots with minimal existing landscaping, giving us a clean slate, but also exposing the raw clay fill that builders leave behind.

Large putting green in a wooded backyard

TomballTomball sits on a slightly higher clay-loam profile than the Brazos bottomlands, but storm drainage still fills fast when the bayous back up.

Curving putting green set into a large lawn

SpringSpring's mix of older 1970s neighborhoods and newer master-planned communities creates two very different landscaping challenges on opposite sides of the same city.

Travertine patio curving around a putting green under tall pines

The WoodlandsThe Woodlands' mature tree canopy and forested lots make for beautiful yards, but shade, surface roots, and drainage call for a designer who knows the area.

Travertine patio leading to a pool under pines

KingwoodKingwood's dense pine and hardwood forest sets the visual tone for every yard, but the same trees that make the neighborhood beautiful drop acid needles that affect soil pH and kill grass underneath.

Backyard pickleball court with a covered pavilion

HumbleHumble sits at the edge of the Lake Houston watershed where the East Fork San Jacinto feeds the reservoir.

Dark-finish rectangular pool framed by turf

AtascocitaAtascocita hugs the western shore of Lake Houston, where lots often back to the lake or its feeder tributaries and carry shoreline buffer requirements.

Backyard sport court in front of a two-story home

PearlandPearland's flat terrain and heavy clay soil sit just above the tidal influence of Clear Creek, making hydrostatic pressure a real consideration for any in-ground construction.

Pickleball court under mature trees with seating

FriendswoodFriendswood straddles Galveston and Harris counties, and the Clear Creek floodplain cuts through established neighborhoods that flooded repeatedly before Army Corps improvements.

Pool behind a black fence with a gravel border

League CityLeague City's bay-adjacent location means the water table sits close to grade in many neighborhoods, complicating drainage and pool excavation alike.
