The Value of Landscaping
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that one of the most effective ways to increase property value is right outside their front door. Thoughtful landscaping can add real financial value to your home – and the best part? It starts making an impact right away.

A healthy, green lawn, vibrant flowers, and well-placed trees and shrubs are some of the most impactful features. A lush lawn gives a strong first impression and offers one of the highest returns on investment. Mature trees add shade and long-term beauty, while shrubs help define your space, and flowers bring seasonal color, attract pollinators, and create a lively, welcoming atmosphere.

Transform your outdoor space into the sanctuary you’ve always dreamed of – and watch your home’s value grow along with it.

But it’s not just about how your space looks — it’s about how it works for you. We design with functionality in mind, incorporating elements like walkways, raised garden beds, and outdoor living areas to create a space that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Fall Landscaping FAQ: 5 Common Questions & Answers
Is fall a good time to plant trees, shrubs, or grass?
Yes — it’s one of the best times! Cooler weather reduces plant stress, while warm soil promotes strong root growth. Trees, shrubs, perennials, and cool-season grasses all establish well in fall, giving them a head start for spring.
Can I still landscape or install hardscaping in the fall?
Definitely. Fall is ideal for installing patios, fire pits, garden beds, and more. Cooler temps make for quicker, smoother installs — and you’ll get ahead of the busy spring season.
What are the best trees and shrubs for Texas?
Our favorite trees are Oaks, Chinese Pistache and Magnolias. For smaller ornamental trees Crape Myrtle, Desert Willow, Vitex and Redbuds. Shrubs must-haves are Texas Sage, Holly, Abelia and more.
What should I do to prepare my yard for winter?
Clear fallen leaves, cut back perennials, remove spent annuals, and winterize your sprinkler system. Add a fresh layer of mulch to insulate plant roots and retain moisture. A quick fall clean-up now helps everything stay healthy and makes spring maintenance much easier.
How should I handle all the falling leaves — rake, mulch, or leave them?
If leaves are thick, rake or blow them off the lawn to prevent damage. A light layer? Mulch them with your mower to return nutrients to the soil.
