Landscape & irrigation installation for new construction.

Commercial sites, apartment communities and residential neighborhoods — installed to plan and to city ordinance, phase by phase, by a licensed irrigator. Then maintained by the same team that put it in.

Landscape and irrigation sit at the end of a long chain and get squeezed from both sides. Grading runs late, the entry has to photograph well before the model opens, and the city won't sign off on the site until the planting is in and holding. Meanwhile the completion date hasn't moved.

We bid from your plan set, install phase by phase, and keep the work moving when the schedule compresses. Where a plan calls for something that won't survive on this soil or in that planting window, we raise it during bidding rather than installing it and letting you pay for it twice.

What we install

Built to the approved plan.

Single phases or full site scope, on commercial, multifamily and residential work.

Landscape installation

Everything from soil prep up, installed to plan and to spec.

  • Soil prep and amendment
  • Tree, shrub and groundcover install
  • Sod and hydromulch
  • Bed construction and mulch

Irrigation installation

Designed and installed under our TCEQ irrigator license.

  • Mainline, lateral and head install
  • Valves, controllers and sensors
  • Backflow prevention
  • Zone design sized for clay soils

Entries & feature areas

The parts the project gets sold and photographed on.

  • Monument surrounds and beds
  • Seasonal color at entries
  • Feature lighting coordination
  • Model, leasing and sales office grounds

Ordinance compliance

What stands between a finished site and an accepted one.

  • Required tree species and caliper
  • Parking island and frontage planting
  • Screening and buffer standards
  • On site for landscape inspection

Drainage & stabilization

Established so it holds through the first heavy season.

  • Detention and retention establishment
  • Slope stabilization and erosion control
  • Inlet and outfall treatment
  • Native and low-maintenance seeding

Establishment & handover

The period where installations succeed or quietly fail.

  • Establishment watering and monitoring
  • Warranty replacement
  • As-installed irrigation documentation
  • Plant and warranty schedules

Across every property type

Installation isn't only for subdivisions.

Anything being built needs landscape and irrigation in the ground before anyone maintains it. The plan set changes and the buyer changes. The work doesn't.

Commercial development

New retail, office, industrial and mixed-use sites.

  • Frontage, parking islands and buffers
  • Screening and required plantings
  • Full-site irrigation to plan
  • Inspection and acceptance support
Commercial services

Multifamily construction

New communities and repositioning, from breaking ground to lease-up.

  • Courtyards, amenity decks and pool areas
  • Perimeter and streetscape planting
  • Full-site irrigation install
  • Leasing office and model grounds
Multifamily services

Residential neighborhoods

Subdivision common areas, section by section through to turnover.

  • Entries, monuments and greenbelts
  • Detention and open space
  • Declarant-period maintenance
  • Documented handover to the board
HOA services

Install, establish, maintain, hand over.

Most projects use one contractor to install, a second to mow during buildout, and whoever inherits the property bids a third to maintain it. Every handoff loses information. The new vendor doesn't know where the mainline runs, which zone feeds the entry, or which trees are still under warranty — so the first thing they do is quote you to find out.

We can carry the whole arc. Install the phase, run establishment, maintain it while the rest of the project finishes, document it properly at handover, and stay on afterwards if the owner or board wants us. When something fails in year three, the people fixing it are the people who put it in.

Phasing and pricing

We price and schedule per phase rather than as one lump. Send the phasing plan with the drawings and we'll quote each section, which means a delay in grading reschedules one piece instead of reopening the whole agreement. Where you want pricing on later phases held or escalated on a set basis, we'll put that in the contract rather than leaving it to be argued about eighteen months from now.

Planting windows in North Texas

Material installed into peak summer heat on Blackland clay fails at a materially higher rate, and the developer pays for that twice — once at install and again at warranty replacement. Where the schedule allows, we'll recommend moving a planting window by a few weeks. Where it doesn't, we'll tell you what the risk is before you commit rather than after the losses show up.

Common questions

What developers and builders ask us.

Do you bid from our plan set?

Yes. Send the approved landscape and irrigation drawings along with the phasing schedule and we'll take off and quote against them. If something in the plan conflicts with the city landscape ordinance, or won't perform on that soil, we'll flag it during bidding.

Are you licensed for irrigation installation?

Yes. Irrigation design and installation in Texas require a licensed irrigator through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Our license number appears in the footer of every page on this site, and installation is performed under it.

Can you handle progress billing and lien waivers?

Yes. We're set up for progress billing against completed work, and we provide conditional and unconditional lien waivers as required at each draw. Tell us at contract what your lender or title company needs and in what format.

What warranty comes with installed material?

Warranty terms for plant material and irrigation components are stated in the contract and depend on material type and whether we're handling establishment.

Warranty assumes the system is running and the establishment schedule is being followed. Plants that die because irrigation was shut off during construction aren't a warranty item, and we'd rather say that up front than argue it later. Keeping establishment with the installer avoids the dispute entirely.

Who handles city landscape inspection?

We install to the approved plan and are on site for inspection when needed. Requirements differ between cities in this area — tree species and caliper, parkway planting, screening and buffer standards all vary — so we work to the ordinance for that jurisdiction rather than a generic spec.

Do you carry the insurance our GC and lender require?

We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage and provide certificates naming the entities you specify. If the project requires bonding or coverage limits above our standard, raise it at bid and we'll confirm what we can meet before you rely on it.
