Residential Services · Greater Houston

Your Backyard,
Completely Transformed

From the first shovel of a new build to the final piece of a complete redesign — we handle every element of your outdoor space with 30 years of Houston expertise behind every decision.

01

New Builds

Working alongside your builder from the ground up — grading, planting, irrigation, hardscape, and lighting all spec'd before the first blade of grass goes in.

02

Redesigns

Existing yard not working for how you live now? We design and install a complete reimagining — new layout, new plantings, new hardscape, new feel.

03

Upgrades

The biggest projects we build are often upgrades — homeowners who know what they have and want to take it to the next level. Outdoor kitchens, feature lighting, expanded hardscape, mature specimen plantings.

Service Category Two

Irrigation & Drainage Systems

Houston's weather is extreme in both directions — blistering summers that demand efficient irrigation and heavy rain seasons that demand proper drainage. Getting both right protects everything else you've invested in your outdoor space.

The Upgrade Conversation

Your Best Project Might Already Be in Your Backyard

The most rewarding projects we build are often for homeowners who already have a good outdoor space and want to take it further. Mature trees that need feature lighting. A plain concrete patio ready for pavers and an outdoor kitchen. An irrigation system that needs a smart upgrade. If you're thinking "it's pretty good, but..." — that's exactly the conversation we want to have.
