Houston Yard Maintenance

Exterior Worlds provides high-quality yard maintenance for upscale residences in West University, Tanglewood, the Memorial Villages, Bellaire and River Oaks. We believe that yard maintenance is important in and of itself. Instead of being something to relegate to the lowest bidder, we think it is foundational to your landscape design.

A residential maintenance contract at Exterior Worlds includes yard maintenance items such as:
• Regular mowing and trimming. We recommend weekly mowing and trimming March through October and bi-weekly November through February.
• Chemical treatments. Fertilization, feeding, and chemical treatments make for hearty plants and prevent infestations and diseases common to Houston.
• Garden services, such as dead-heading flowers, expert pruning, rose maintenance and training vines.
• Professional mulch installation and regularly turning over the mulch.
• Inspection of your drainage system. Proper yard drainage is essential for Houston lawn care. It carries water off your property in a timely manner, thus promoting healthy grass. By draining excess water, it also allows your maintenance crew to perform its regular lawn care service duties.
• Inspection of your irrigation system. Since the system is both mechanical and electronic, a fully functioning irrigation system requires ongoing maintenance. We also monitor the best times and days to water, which change depending on the weather and the season.
• Lawn aeration. This practice is essential to proper lawn care and provides benefits, such as improving water infiltration which helps with drainage and reduces harmful fungi, increasing the activity of microorganisms that promote de-thatching, and increasing the earth worm population.

Additionally, we work with the hardscapes of your landscape, the elements that bring true distinction to your landscape architecture.
• Landscape lighting—design, install, repair and maintenance.
• Tree protection and tree preservation. During any construction project, this service is critical and continues to be important on an ongoing basis.
• Custom swimming pools—design, installation and maintenance. Pools are an expected amenity for the high-end home these days. They provide hours of pleasure when designed specifically for you and when maintained with accurate care by professionals.
• Outdoor rooms, pavilions and outdoor kitchens—design, build and maintain. These outdoor areas expand your living space and allow you to fully enjoy our temperate winter months.
• Garden structures—garden arches, garden arbors, garden gazebos and trellises.
• Outdoor water fountains—installation, repair and maintenance.
• Hardscapes—maintain and repair elements in your landscape design, such as driveways and courtyards, patios, outdoor fireplaces, retaining walls and pathways.
• Fencing and gates—installation, repair and maintenance, including painting fences and gates. Also the repair of automatic gates.

Our clients are homeowners who understand that money invested in landscaping—both plant materials and hardscapes—improves the value of their home, usually the single largest financial asset of the individual. They find merit in hiring professional landscapers such as Exterior Worlds because we provide all the fundamental landscaping services, like yard maintenance, plus pay fastidious attention to the finer details.
