Garden Installation in Houston
From soil preparation to the final planted specimen, our installation crews execute with the care and precision your landscape deserves — sourcing premium plant material and ensuring every element is positioned for long-term health and visual impact.
Installation is where design becomes reality — and where the quality of execution determines whether a landscape thrives for decades or struggles from the start. Our installation crews are trained horticulturists and craftsmen who understand that every planting decision, every soil amendment, and every irrigation connection matters.
Premium Specimen Sourcing & Procurement
We source from specialty nurseries across Texas and the Gulf Coast region, including rare specimens, mature trees, and hard-to-find cultivars suited to Houston's climate.
Soil Amendment & Bed Preparation
Proper soil preparation is the foundation of a healthy landscape. We amend Houston's challenging clay soils with organic matter, drainage improvements, and targeted nutrient programs.
Irrigation System Integration
Every installation includes irrigation planning and integration — ensuring your new plantings receive the right amount of water from day one.
Post-Installation Care Guidance
We provide detailed care instructions and a post-installation walkthrough so you understand how to maintain your new landscape through its critical establishment period.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to install a garden in Houston?
Fall (October–November) is generally the best time for major plantings in Houston — cooler temperatures reduce transplant stress and allow root establishment before summer heat. Spring (February–April) is also excellent. We install year-round with appropriate care protocols for each season.
Do you source native and adapted plants?
Yes. We strongly advocate for Texas natives and Gulf Coast-adapted species where they serve the design intent. Native plants are more resilient, require less water and maintenance, and support local pollinators. We balance native and non-native selections based on your design goals and site conditions.
How do you handle Houston's clay soil?
Clay soil management is central to our installation process. We typically incorporate organic matter, expanded shale, and targeted amendments to improve drainage and aeration. For areas with significant drainage challenges, we may recommend raised beds, French drains, or other structural solutions.
Do you offer a plant warranty?
Yes. We provide a one-year establishment warranty on all installed plant material, provided the client follows our care and irrigation guidelines. We will replace any plant that fails to establish under normal conditions at no charge.
Can you install a design created by another landscape architect?
In some cases, yes. We evaluate third-party designs on a case-by-case basis. If the design is detailed, site-appropriate, and meets our quality standards, we can provide an installation proposal. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
