A design built for your property
Every landscape design starts with a walkthrough of your property — sun and shade exposure, drainage patterns, existing trees worth keeping, soil conditions, and how you actually want to use the space (entertaining, kids, low maintenance, curb appeal for resale). The result is a plan that looks great on day one and matures beautifully over the next 5–10 years.
Texas-friendly plant selection
Harris County summers are brutally hot and humid; winter freezes (like 2021) can wipe out the wrong plants overnight. Designs lean on proven, regionally appropriate plantings: live oaks, magnolias, Mexican plum, dwarf yaupon, knockout roses, salvias, lantana, dwarf palmetto, drift roses, asparagus fern, and St. Augustine where shade demands it — drought tolerant where helpful, lush where it counts.
Design + install in one team
When you're ready, the same crew can deliver the full installation — eliminating the typical handoff gaps between designer and installer. No "the designer didn't tell us about the irrigation line" surprises, no plant substitutions you didn't approve, and one accountable point of contact from concept to final mulch.
Typical landscape design pricing in Harris County
A standalone landscape design package (site visit, conceptual plan, plant list, sketch) typically runs $400–$1,500 depending on property size and complexity. Design fees are credited back toward installation if you move forward with us. Full design + installation projects for a residential front-and-back yard typically range from $8,000 for refreshes to $50,000+ for complete property redesigns with hardscape.
What a design consultation includes
A 60–90 minute on-site walkthrough, sun and drainage notes, your wish list captured in writing, photos of inspiration you've shared, then back at the desk: a sketched plan with bed shapes, plant locations, hardscape layout, and a plant key. You get a clean visual you can take to any installer — though most clients hire us for the install too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a landscape design cost in Harris County?+
Standalone landscape design packages typically run $400–$1,500 depending on property size and complexity. Design fees are credited back toward the install if you move forward with us.
What's included in a landscape design plan?+
A sketched site plan with bed shapes and dimensions, plant locations and sizes, hardscape layout (walkways, patios, edging), a complete plant list with quantities and sizes, and notes on irrigation and drainage considerations.
How long does the design process take?+
Most residential designs are delivered 1–2 weeks after the on-site consultation. Larger commercial or complex multi-phase projects take 2–4 weeks.
Can I phase the project over multiple years?+
Yes — many homeowners install the front yard first, then back yard the next year, then add hardscape and lighting later. We design with phasing in mind so each phase looks complete on its own.
Do you design for HOAs in Katy, Cypress, and Sugar Land?+
Yes. We design within common HOA restrictions (approved plant lists, mulch requirements, hardscape limits) and provide plans suitable for HOA submission.
Will the design account for Houston's clay soil and drainage?+
Yes — drainage and soil conditions are evaluated during the site visit and built into the design. French drains, swales, and bed grading are specified where the property needs them.
What plants survive Houston freezes?+
Cold-hardy choices include live oak, southern magnolia, dwarf yaupon, Texas sage, abelia, Indian hawthorn (Eleanor Tabor), and most native salvias. We avoid borderline-hardy tropicals (queen palm, pygmy date palm) unless the homeowner accepts the freeze risk.
Do you offer free design estimates?+
Free initial consultation and estimate visits across Harris County. The detailed design plan itself is a paid deliverable, credited toward installation if you proceed.
