A lot of new-build yards around here get the same builder package: a row of boxwoods, a couple of knockout roses and a skinny tree on a stake. We pull that apart and give the front of the house some depth: layered beds, a real tree in the right spot, and plants picked for how much sun that side of the house actually gets.
We start with a sketch and a plant list with prices on it. You can change anything before we order a single plant. Once you sign off, we prep the soil, plant, edge, mulch and walk the job with you.

Settle-in check
We come back in about 30 days to check that everything has taken.
Notes from the field
Plants we lean on because they work here: Texas sage, autumn sage, Turk's cap, flame acanthus, red yucca, Gulf muhly, dwarf yaupon and Mexican plum. For shade trees, live oak, cedar elm, Shumard and chinkapin oak. We steer people away from Bradford pears and anything that needs acidic soil.
Soil changes across our area. East of 287 it is mostly heavy clay over limestone. Out toward Boyd, Paradise and Springtown it gets sandier. Bed prep is different for each, and it is the step most crews skip.
Questions we get
How much does a landscape install cost?
Most front-yard bed redos we do land between a few thousand and the low five figures, depending on size, plant sizes and whether there is stone involved. You get an itemized price before anything is ordered.
Is the design fee separate?
The plan is free if we do the install. If you want just the plan to do yourself, we charge a flat fee and tell you what it is up front.
Do you warranty plants?
Yes, as long as they get watered on the schedule we leave you. Ask about the term when you get your quote.
What is the best time of year to plant?
Fall. Roots grow all winter and plants go into their first summer established. Spring is a close second. Mid-summer works, but needs a lot of water.
