New beds, refreshes, and full re-do's
Whether it's a brand new bed installation, a tired bed that needs to be re-edged, replanted, and re-mulched, or a complete tear-out where everything old comes out and something completely new goes in — the result is a clean, finished landscape detail that lifts the entire property.
Plants picked for Harris County beds
Reliable performers across Houston: Indian hawthorn (Eleanor Tabor for cold tolerance), dwarf yaupon, dwarf burford holly, knockout and drift roses, asparagus fern, salvias (Mystic Spires, Henry Duelberg), lantana, dwarf palmetto, lirope, asian jasmine groundcover, and seasonal color (mums, pansies, geraniums, vincas) rotated as the seasons change.
Typical flower bed pricing in Harris County
New flower bed installation typically runs $25–$60 per square foot depending on plant size, soil prep needed, and edging type. A typical 60 sq ft front entry bed runs $1,500–$3,500 fully installed. Bed refreshes (tear-out old plants, re-edge, replant, fresh mulch) run $15–$35 per square foot. Mulch-only refreshes are quoted by yardage.
Soil prep is most of the work
Houston clay drowns shallow-rooted bedding plants. Real bed installation amends the soil with sandy loam and compost, raises the bed an inch or two for drainage, and broadcasts a starter fertilizer before planting. That's the difference between a bed that thrives for years and one where you replace half the plants every spring.
Edging that holds the line
Steel and aluminum edging stay crisp for 10+ years and resist Houston's freeze-thaw cycles. Trenched mulch lines are cheaper but soften within a year. Concrete curbing is the premium option for properties where the bed line is a major design feature. We help choose the right option for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flower bed installation cost in Harris County?+
New beds typically run $25–$60 per square foot installed depending on plant size and soil prep. A 60 sq ft front entry bed runs $1,500–$3,500. Bed refreshes are $15–$35 per square foot.
What's the best mulch for Houston flower beds?+
Hardwood mulch (dyed brown or black) is the most common — affordable and breaks down into the soil. Cedar mulch is more expensive but pest-resistant and lasts longer. Pine bark for acid-loving plants like azaleas.
How often do flower beds need to be refreshed?+
Mulch needs a refresh every 12–18 months. Edging can hold for 5–10 years. Plants vary — perennials last years, but seasonal annuals are rotated 2–3 times per year.
What flowers grow best in Houston?+
Reliable Houston bedding plants include knockout roses, drift roses, salvias, lantana, asparagus fern, Indian hawthorn, dwarf yaupon, vinca, and pentas. For seasonal color: mums in fall, pansies in winter, geraniums and vincas in spring/summer.
Will the new beds need irrigation?+
Strongly recommended — drip irrigation in beds is far more efficient than spray and is a small add-on during install. Without irrigation, expect to hand-water through the establishment period and Houston summer.
Can you tear out old beds and start fresh?+
Yes. Full bed tear-out, soil amendment, fresh edging, new plants, and fresh mulch — typically completed in 1–2 days for a standard front yard.
What edging holds up best in Houston?+
Steel and aluminum edging hold a crisp line for 10+ years. Concrete curbing is the premium option. Plastic edging warps in Houston heat — we don't recommend it.
Do you offer free bed install estimates?+
Yes — free, no-obligation walkthroughs and bids across Harris County.
