Houston Garden Services

A convenience that we offer the Exterior Worlds’ client is the unbundling of services. For example, you can hire us to perform garden services only. Beautiful gardens afford you with an ever-changing, ever-constant source of pleasure—the exchange of light and shadow, the interplay of textures and colors, the wondrous creatures of nature that are attracted to gardens, such as butterflies, birds and dragonflies. Additionally, gardens can be quite sensible. When it comes time to sell your home, a well-maintained landscape makes your house stand out to prospective buyers, giving you an advantage over other houses in your market.

Our garden services contract involves hiring us to perform the countless tasks required of a multi-layered garden, excluding the maintenance and care of lawn and turf. This type of contract works well for clients who have a maintenance crew already in place with whom they are pleased. While this crew does the upkeep of the grass areas, however, they do little—or cursory—care of the garden beds, bushes, trees and hardscapes. Hence the need for an Exterior Worlds’ garden services contract.

At Exterior Worlds, we believe in delivering unique, personalized services while creating landscapes and gardens filled with natural hospitality and warmth. An extension of that philosophy is that a regular, well-executed landscape maintenance plan helps you to protect your landscaping investment.

A short list of our garden services includes:

• Prune annual flowers to maximize the bloom cycle.
• Train roses, vines and other climbing cultivars on garden archs, garden arbors and trellises.
• Trim ground covers and shrubs. We work conscientiously to maintain the original intent of the landscape design.
• Mulch. It is important to not put too much mulch on the base of plants. While it is terrible for the plants, we unfortunately find that it is a common problem that we often have to correct for new clients.
• Pull weeds, as needed.
• Cover plants in advance of freezes.
• Treat for fungus, weeds and insects. Fungicides and insecticides are applied two to four times per year. Exterior Worlds is licensed by the Texas Structural Pest Control Board, License # 12015. (Texas Structural Pest Control Board, P.O. Box 1927, Austin, TX 78767-1927. 512-305-8250.)
• Fertilize and feed. For a Houston landscape, flowers require fertilization every six weeks.

Impeccable and wide-ranging landscape services are our specialties. Exterior Worlds is a full service, high-end landscape design and maintenance firm, in business in Houston since 1987. We employ all our years of experience for each design project and each landscape maintenance contract. Our residential clients live in the Memorial Villages, Bellaire, Tanglewood, River Oaks, West University, and other communities in the greater Houston metropolitan area.

After spending the time and money on your landscape design and installation, it makes perfect sense to protect it and make sure it develops as intended. And that’s where a maintenance program such as discussed here can be used. We provide the level of intricate care that a sophisticated garden needs and deserves. Further, joining our garden services with a pre-existing turf crew is cost-effective for you and makes the best use of your time.
