Memorial Villages Landscape Design

What services are offered by Exterior Worlds to the Memorial area?
We started working in the Memorial Villages in 1987 and since then have built a reputation for the highest level of customer service with our all-inclusive landscape solutions. In particular, it is shown by the creative, consistent work delivered by our quality crews and contractors for the discriminating residents who live in Hedwig Village, Piney Point Village, Hunters Creek Village and Bunker Hill Village.

What makes Exterior Worlds unique?
Knowledge of Memorial landscaping needs is a requirement for all designers at Exterior Worlds. That prerequisite along with our 20+ years of experience and good relationships with the best sources of Houston landscaping materials make us an outstanding choice for your landscaping needs. We believe in holding ourselves to the highest standards rather than choosing sub-par materials to increase our profits. It is our way of honoring the impeccable taste of our clients.

Additionally, our crews are the best in the business, especially in meeting the exacting demands of a Memorial landscaping job. They understand the business from a simple color change-out to the most challenging construction projects.

I’ve heard that the Memorial Villages have strict zoning and code requirements. What can you tell me about them?
It is not enough for a Houston landscape designer to have an eye for color and design. They must also have a thorough understanding of local codes and permitting. Exterior Worlds stays up-to-date on these ever-changing procedures, rules, codes and best practices. Our goal is to deliver a superior landscape project that meets all codes and goes as smoothly as possible. Landscape contractors unfamiliar with proper permitting procedures end up costing their customers time and money since non-compliance can bring the work to a complete halt.

If you are undertaking a Memorial landscaping project, here are some of the permitting requirements you need to consider and fulfill:

• Tree removal codes
• Storm drainage
• Lot coverage percentages
• Replacement quotes
• Landscape lighting codes
• Swimming pool regulations
• Fence and gate codes

Drainage problems are evident in any Memorial landscaping undertaking. Does Exterior Worlds have expertise in this area?
The Memorial Villages have set the standard for storm drainage issues with their requirements regarding minimum pipe sizes, flow rates, temporary drainage systems, engineered drainage plans, calculations, topographic maps, and as/built plans. In fact, local ordinances in other parts of the greater Houston metropolitan area have begun to follow their model.

If drainage contractors embark on a project without a thorough understanding of these demands, you may find yourself flooded in a costly mess that can eat up your budget and delay your landscaping project.

Where are you located?
Centrally located near Interstate 10 and the 610 Loop, we can be anywhere in the Memorial Villages within minutes. This location also makes us convenient to our River Oaks, West University and Bellaire customers. Further we can easily service our clients in the outer Houston suburbs such as The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Clear Lake, Kingwood, Carlton Woods and Richmond-Rosenburg in a timely fashion.
