Q&A
What does your landscape design process involve for a Houston home?
Our process starts with a detailed consultation at your property. Owner Frank Mahy, with his 29 years of local experience, often begins with field sketches to visualize solutions for Houston's unique conditions, like drainage or soil issues. We provide a clear estimate and manage the project from concept through installation, whether it's a new patio, irrigation system, or full garden design. This hands-on approach ensures your vision is realized with practical, lasting results.
Can you help with common Houston lawn problems like soil compaction and patchy grass?
Absolutely. Soil compaction is a frequent issue in our area due to clay soils and construction. Our team addresses this through core aeration, proper soil amendment, and selecting turf varieties suited to Houston's climate. For patchy grass, we diagnose underlying causes—which could be irrigation, drainage, or disease—and implement a corrective plan that may include regrading, adjusting sprinkler coverage, or targeted shrub and disease management to restore a healthy, even lawn.
Do you handle both the design and construction of hardscape features like patios and retaining walls?
Yes, we provide a seamless service from design to installation. Our expertise includes constructing patios, walkways, driveways, and retaining walls—essential for managing Houston's terrain. As licensed professionals, we ensure these features are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally sound, integrating proper drainage and materials that withstand our local weather, creating outdoor living spaces built to last.
