We provide full service landscaping to residential and commercial clients in Houston and the surrounding areas: "Concept to Completion." While some companies offer to work from the ground up, we believe an effective landscaping project begins below the ground, with a great soil and effective drainage. Understanding the conditions beneath the ground will help guide the selection and installation of plant materials. Adding drain pipes are not the only solution for poor drainage, though it might be the most cost effective.

We us all cedar to construct our pergolas; each is a unique design. Ground contact is dealt with by coating the in-ground section of the posts with roofing mastic before setting them in concrete. We only use nails as a temporary hold, if at all, during the construction. For the final product we use screws (decking grade), galvanized bolts, joist hangers and hurricane ties to ensure stability and longevity.

Ponds, vessel fountains with reservoir basins, cement fountains, wall fountains, waterfall walls. Water gardens transform an outdoor living space into a beautiful sanctuary where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy quality time alone or shared with others. There is something soothing about water.

Q: What is core aeration? A: In simplest terms, it is the process of making finger sized holes in your lawn and depositing the removed material on the surface to break down. This allows fertilizer, water and oxygen to get to the roots where healthy grass originates. Q: How do I know if a yard needs aeration? A: Known clay soils, heavy traffic, more than 1/2″ of thatch, standing water after irrigation or rain, or lawns that brown easily in heat are all excellent candidates. In reality, any yard, healthy or not, can benefit from annual aeration.

Each material has its own method of installation to insure sustainability. With Houston's clay soil we prefer to stay away from poured concrete because it will, ultimately crack.

It is not uncommon for a property in and around the Houston area to experience standing water, mud and/or saturated soil and water in the yard after a rain storm. However, if the problem persists for an hour after every single rain you may want to consider a solution, such as french drains, surface drains, grading, or a combined drainage system solution. Wet, soggy ground Moisture-soaked ground is very common in the coastal regions. It is usually pretty easy to spot, and very easy to feel. This symptom is the usually the result of undesirable grading.
