Design & install
Landscape Design & Installation in McKinney, TX
A yard that works for how you live — designed on site with you, priced in writing, and installed by the same people who designed it.

Most of our projects start with a walk around the property. Vincent looks at how water moves, where the sun hits in July, what the HOA wants to see from the street, and how you actually use the space — then sketches a plan that fits the budget you tell us. For bigger projects we can prepare a digital rendering so you can see the layout before a shovel goes in.
What a typical design-and-install project includes
- Bed layout and edging — steel, stone or chop-stone borders that hold a clean line for years.
- Plant selection for North Texas — hollies, yaupons, agaves, sagos, yuccas, Italian cypress, crepe myrtles, seasonal colour — chosen for our clay soil, summer heat and the occasional hard freeze.
- Ground cover — Tejas black gravel, river rock, decomposed granite or mulch, over weed barrier where it makes sense.
- Trees and screening — shade trees, privacy screens and hedges planted at the right depth with root establishment in mind.
- Finishing touches — step-stone paths, tree rings, planter boxes and low-voltage landscape lighting repairs.
How we work
Every project is owner-led. Vincent gives the estimate, picks the material and plants at the nursery, and is on site for the install — usually within days of the go-ahead for smaller jobs. You get one point of contact from the first text to the final walkthrough.
Recent design-and-install work
The Trotter and Owens projects on our projects page are good examples: a front-yard redesign with agave, sago and yucca in Tejas gravel with steel edging, and a backyard with a new walkway, grilling area and low-maintenance stone-edged beds.
Questions about design & install
Do you charge for the design?
No. Walkthroughs and written estimates are free. If you want a digital rendering for a larger project, we will quote that separately and credit it toward the install.
How long does an install take?
Most front-yard bed makeovers are done in a day. Full backyard projects with hardscape run one to seven days depending on scope.
Can you work with my HOA guidelines?
Yes — a lot of our calls start with an HOA letter. Send us the notice and we will plan around it.
