Expert Landscape Design in Kemah, League City, Clear Lake, Galveston & Houston TX
Every great yard starts with a plan. Our landscape design service is a full, from-scratch process. We walk your property, study your soil and drainage, understand how you live outside, and then craft a design that's both beautiful and built to survive the Texas Gulf Coast. We don't recycle templates. Every design is original, every plant list is curated for your specific micro-climate, and every hardscape choice is made to last through Houston's heat cycles and storm seasons. We handle everything: layout, plant selection, material sourcing, lighting plans, and installation sequencing. Custom landscape design means the plan is drawn for your lot and nowhere else. We do not keep a folder of stock layouts and swap the plant names around, which is what you are usually getting when a quote comes back the same afternoon you asked for it. We walk the property, watch how the sun tracks across it through the day, look at where water sits after a heavy rain, ask how you actually use the space, and then draw something original. Two houses on the same street get two different designs, because the shade, the drainage, and the people living there are different. Backyard remodels are a large share of what we design. Usually it starts with a back yard that has never worked: patchy grass, no shade, nowhere to sit, water pooling by the back door, a fence line nobody has looked at in a decade. We plan the whole thing as one project rather than five separate fixes. Regrading and drainage first, then the hardscape that defines where things happen, a stone patio or pathway, then planting beds, turf or fresh sod, and lighting so the space is still usable after dark. Front yard redesigns follow the same logic, with more weight on how the property reads from the street. If you have been searching for a landscape designer near you in the Houston Bay Area, we cover League City, Friendswood, Webster, Clear Lake, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, Kemah, Dickinson, La Porte, Galveston, and Greater Houston. Design and installation both come from our own crew, so the person who drew the plan is the person standing in your yard building it. That continuity is the whole reason it comes out looking like the drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a landscape design take?
A typical residential design takes 1-2 weeks from the initial walkthrough to final plan. We move quickly without cutting corners.
Do I have to implement everything at once?
No. We can phase the design over time: planting beds first, hardscaping next, lighting later. The plan scales with your timeline.
Can I request changes after seeing the design?
Absolutely. We work with you until the design feels right before a single shovel hits the ground.
What makes a landscape design custom?
The plan is drawn for your lot and nowhere else. We walk the property, track the sun through the day, check where water sits after heavy rain, and ask how you use the space. Two houses on the same street get two different designs. If a quote comes back the same afternoon you asked, you are being handed a template.
Do you do backyard remodels?
Yes, and they are a big share of our design work. We plan the whole back yard as one project: regrading and drainage first, then hardscape like a patio or pathway, then planting beds, turf or sod, and lighting. That beats fixing it in five disconnected pieces over five years.
What does custom landscape design cost?
Design and installation together typically run from about $2,500 for a flowerbed and native planting refresh to $15,000 or more for a full yard redesign with hardscaping and lighting. We give you a detailed quote after walking the property, with no obligation.

We design and install throughout the Houston Bay Area: League City, Friendswood, Webster, Clear Lake, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, Kemah, Dickinson, La Porte, Galveston, and Greater Houston. If you are within roughly forty minutes of Kemah, we can be out for a walkthrough within the week.
