Houston Landscape Design Done Differently
A well-planned landscape isn't just about appearance—it's an investment. The American Society of Landscape Architects says professional landscaping can boost home value by 15%-20%. We start with a site review—terrain, drainage, existing features—then craft a design that fits your property's unique needs. No cookie-cutter plans, just practical solutions from our Houston-based crew.
By managing the project in-house, from planning to installation, we keep communication clear, minimize delays, and consistently deliver exceptional results. The result is a well-crafted landscape that enhances curb appeal, works for your lifestyle, and adds value to your property.

HLI's Landscape Design Options
Custom Landscape Design Plans

- Includes placement of trees, shrubs, flowers, and groundcover.
- Plants selected for local climate and maintenance needs.
- Designed for visual interest, privacy, or shade.
