Landscaping Services Houston

Professional landscaping services in Houston, Texas are a coordinated blend of traditional landscaping design methods and special methods of landscaping that specifically address the many nuances and eccentricities of the deceptively simple Houston landscape. Our ultimate intention is to put cash value back into the yard, improving the resale opportunity of future possibilities and creating a sustainable, superior living environment in the present moment. The genius of our value is to bring top-quality functionality to the table, then make it disappear quietly behind the backdrop of the landscape with unique and proprietary services developed after years of experience working in the Houston, Texas area.

One of the many ways our landscaping services differentiate our firm’s uniqueness is an intentional avoidance of bold paving. The land throughout Houston, Texas appears completely flat to the naked eye, and many people who move here from higher elevations consider it outright boring. Hardscape design characterized by bold color or eccentric patterns can quickly backfire aesthetically. By drawing they eyes down to the ground, they force you to look at land that is as flat as a tabletop in most places. To counter this negative, we lean toward more neutral colors and basic geometry when paving areas like driveways and motor courts. We want you to see them as functional elements, and no more. In order to add a vertical dimension to the property, we take emphasize bold organic elements. A wide range of flowers, tropical plants, hedges, and tree species all contribute to a robust sense of upward mobility, diversity, and growth.

Another important methodology we use that is highly unique in the landscaping services industry is planning and layout of custom, concealed drain systems. We seldom install a simple, single drainage network on the properties we develop. The deceptive simplicity of the Houston landscape and the surrounding part of Texas in general, requires a much more complex engineering of drains than face value analysis would lead you to believe. While the terrain looks flat, it really is not actually flat. It is replete with twists, bends, depressions, and rises in elevation that hide from even the steady gaze of the eye, but become all too obvious—and all too problematic—when the rain water begins to follow their contours. This can cause a yard that appears to be higher than the street and surrounding properties to suddenly form streams and pools of water in the worst possible places. Patios can flood and gardens can be destroyed if these sudden mini-catastrophes of Houston seasonal rains are not anticipated and headed off by proactive landscaping services professionals

To do this, we almost always engineer and install two drainage systems. One is for the house itself, and is designed exclusively pull water as quickly as possible off the roof of the home and away from doors, windows, porches, and patios. This system will either then drain directly into the Houston storm sewer system, or it will be siphoned temporarily into the drain system of the landscaping itself. There are a number of water delivery mechanisms we can use in the creation of both types of drainage. However, the distinguishing mark of our landscaping services in this crucial are of property development is concealing these mechanisms behind the carefully cultivated forms of gardens, the meticulously constructed structures of outdoor buildings, custom patios, stone work, and custom swimming pool design.

At the end of the day, we spend a great deal of time, energy, and money developing a system of detailed plans, documents, and drawings that will allow our team and our subcontracted partner teams to take the conceptual essence of landscaping services we have intuitively envisioned and make them concrete, applicable, and impeccably workable in any property we service in Houston and surrounding Texas counties.
