Landscape Design

The important thing to remember when it comes to designing your landscape is to take things one step at a time. Rome wasn’t built in a day! Start with the basics and grab a piece of paper. Draw a layout of your outdoor space and move things around to get a feel of what your space could look like. Plot fixtures that you cannot change, like trees or a driveway. Once you have found a layout you love, draw a final design to work off of. Make a key on the final design and draw where you will place things like plants, gravel, or a fire pit. Designing is very visual, so putting it physically down on paper gives you a vision to bring to life. We can design your yard with native plants and shrubs, and indigenous plants to central Texas. we can provide low water plants that will require less watering and remain looking healthy and vibrant throughout the seasons.

Everyone wishes their lawn could look like it came straight out of Wrigley Field, right? Lawn care takes exactly what is says, care. So, how do you get picture perfect ballpark grass in your front or backyard?
First, you need to fix underlying issues that your lawn is facing. For example, repair bare patches and rid it of weeds.
 
Next, learn about the best grass for the region you live in. It may surprise you, but grass is not simply just grass. There are many different kinds and each region has different preferences. A quick internet search will help you learn which is best for where you live.
​
When you are ready to seed, learn about the brand of seed you are planting to make sure that the product is of good quality. Make sure to not over seed and make sure you plant the seeds at the proper time of year.

 
Now, you can’t just plant grass seeds and expect to have that ballpark lawn you’ve always dreamed of. You need to fertilize and water, but not too much and not too little.
 
Nitrogen is the key to your lawn’s vibrancy. Take a soil test to help you figure out how many pounds of nitrogen your lawn needs to grown lush and green. Remember to water heavily at less frequent intervals. There is no need to water your lawn everyday.
 
Let’s talk about every dad’s favorite Sunday chore; mowing the lawn. A common mistake that many make is mowing on the same day of the week, not based on grass growth. You should be mowing based on height, not just cause it’s Sunday. You also need to understand your type of grass and what height in needs to be in order to flourish.
 
You should also take care of the edging of your grass to keep everything looking exceptional and even. Your best bet for perfect edges is to invest in an edge trimmer. This machine will allow you to make perfect borders.
 
If this all sounds like too much for your non-green thumb to handle, you can always hire a lawn service who will mow and take care of your grass for you.

Sod Installation​

Another option when it comes to grass is sod installation. We can prep your yard and install as much or as little sod as you need. We can handle landscape jobs of any size, large or small, residential or commercial.
 
​
Before laying down sod, you will need to do some preparation. The key is to measure perfectly so you don’t buy too much sod, or not enough. You then have to prepare your soil with compost for a few weeks to prepare to lay down the sod. Sod comes in rows, so you begin by starting at one end and unrolling. You then continue laying the sod until you fill all of the intended spaces. Then, take a roller and press all of the sod pieces into place. New sod should be watered as soon as possible to promote growth. Water it daily for the first week.
 
Planting flowers and shrubs is another great way to bring green to your landscape. Choose a flower or shrub, prepare your pot or ground with fresh soil, plant and make sure to water and fertilize. Again, a quick internet search of the flower you are planting can provide you with information on how often to water, how much sun or shade the plant likes, and when too fertilize.

Irrigation | Sprinkler Systems

​Don’t want to water your grass and plants by hand? Maybe you should consider installing irrigation and sprinklers.
 
To install a sprinkler system, you need to take some time to plan. Once you are ready to begin, you need to locate your water line. This is where the water to your sprinklers will come from. The next step is to dig a trench where you will install the pipes. You will then install a valve and the pipes within the trench. After you install the PVC pipes, you will need to attach sprinkler heads and the controller, which is usually placed in the garage.
 
Again, if this sounds like too much for you to handle yourself, you can always hire us to do irrigation and sprinkler installation for you. We can repair small breaks and sprinkler heads not working, or we can design a whole system for your property.

Stonework | Patios | Pagodas

We provide all types of stone and masonry work. From retaining walls, sidewalks and paths, pavers, patios, and out door kitchens and fire pits. If you need beautiful flowerbeds build with retaining walls and stone work, we are the company for you. If you desire a pagodas​ in your backyard, let us design it and build something beautiful to enhance your yards beauty.

How do you build a retaining wall? Again, start with prep and planning. Also, call 811 to check for underground utilities. (You don’t need to deal with that nightmare). A good tip is to buy about 10 extra blocks than you estimate that you will need. This will allow replacements if you didn’t estimate correctly and can help replace blocks that you break. You can also save them to use as replacements over the coming years.

 
To begin, you will need to dig a trench. Use a hand tamper to keep soil level. Once you are ready to lay the blocks, you will need to chisel the first layer of blocks so that they will lay flat. 
Picture
As you lay the blocks, use a level to make sure things are perfectly even. Continue this until the next layer. Once you get to the next layer, you will need to saw the blocks to fit to stagger the look of the wall. For the last two rows of blocks, add concrete adhesive to keep things in place. Fill in with gravel, soil, and plants and voila!
 
A big trend in backyards these days are fire pits. Want to build one yourself?
 
Start by choosing a safe location. Dig up the area where you want to build the pit. Tamp the ground and install a paver base. Add concrete blocks and cover the blocks with lava rocks. Lay PVC pipes one inch in diameter and cover with sand.
 
Next you need to install the pavers. Lay them down and saw the excess. Use a level to make sure everything is even then add the polymeric sand into the joints. Cover the sand with a hose and allow to cure. Finish by filling with pebbles. Enjoy those smores and remember to keep a fire extinguisher close by just in case!
