Landscape Design That Works With Your Property

We design outdoor spaces that are thoughtful, low-maintenance, and built to last. Whether you're starting from scratch or refreshing an existing yard, our team brings 30 years of Houston-area experience to every project.

Our approach

Designed around how you actually use your yard

A well-designed landscape should feel natural, not like a showroom. We start by understanding how you use your outdoor space — entertaining, privacy, curb appeal, or simply reducing upkeep — and build a plan around that. We take into account your existing trees and plantings, drainage patterns, and the character of your neighborhood before we put anything on paper. Every design we produce is specific to your property. We don't offer cookie-cutter layouts or push plants that won't thrive in Houston's heat and humidity.

What we offer

Landscape design services

  • Custom landscape planning

    We assess your property and develop a tailored design plan — including plant selection, layout, and phasing — suited to your goals and budget.

  • Tree and plant integration

    Your existing trees are assets. We design around them, incorporating pruning and placement to maximize shade, structure, and visual balance.

  • Ongoing maintenance planning

    A good design is only as good as its upkeep. We help you plan for long-term maintenance so the landscape stays healthy and manageable year after year.

Who we work with

Residential, HOA, and commercial properties

We work with individual homeowners who want a yard they're proud of, HOAs looking to elevate neighborhood common areas, and commercial property owners who need a landscape that makes a strong first impression. Each type of project comes with its own requirements, and we've handled them all across Central Houston for three decades. If you're managing a larger property or a multi-phase project, we're comfortable working within those timelines and coordinating with other contractors as needed.

Common questions

Landscape design — what to expect

  • Do you handle both the design and the installation?

    Yes. We can take a project from initial design through planting, grading, and finishing. We also coordinate tree pruning and removal as part of the broader landscape plan when needed.

  • How long does the design process take?

    It depends on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward residential design typically takes one to two weeks from the initial site visit to a finished plan. Larger commercial or HOA projects may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline after seeing the property.

  • Can you work around existing trees and mature plantings?

    Absolutely — and we prefer to. Mature trees are valuable, and removing them is a last resort. Our team includes experienced arborists who can assess what's worth keeping, what needs pruning, and how to design around existing root systems.

  • What areas do you serve?

    We serve Central Houston and surrounding neighborhoods. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just give us a call or send a message — we're happy to let you know.

  • Do you offer ongoing yard maintenance after the design is complete?

    Yes. We offer yard maintenance services and can set up a regular schedule to keep your landscape looking its best after installation. Many of our clients find it easier to work with one team who knows the property.
