Houston Plant Bed Design Done Differently
Well-designed plant beds aren’t just about beauty—they’re an investment. The American Society of Landscape Architects notes that professional landscaping, including plant beds, can increase home value by 15%-20%. At Houston Landscape Images (HLI), we begin with a site review—assessing soil, sunlight, and drainage—then design plant beds that suit your property’s unique conditions. No generic layouts, just practical, Houston-specific solutions from our in-house team.
By managing every step—from design to planting—we ensure clear communication, minimal delays, and thriving results. The outcome is a vibrant plant bed that elevates your yard, matches your style, and adds lasting value.

HLI’s Plant Bed Service Options
Plant Bed Layout & Design
We design plant beds to complement your home’s architecture and the surrounding landscape. Each layout considers flow, focal points, and spacing for healthy plant development. Shapes and curves are customized to enhance curb appeal and function.
Soil Preparation & Amendment
Healthy plant beds begin with properly prepared soil. We loosen compacted soil, add organic matter, and improve drainage as needed. This provides a strong foundation for root growth and plant longevity.
- Includes tilling, composting, and grading as needed
- Improves water retention, drainage, and soil structure
- Tailored to the needs of selected plants and site conditions
Plant Installation
We install trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers based on your site’s sun, soil, and style preferences. Each plant is placed with spacing and layering in mind for long-term success. Our team ensures every plant is properly set, watered, and mulched.
- Trees, shrubs, flowers, and groundcovers installed
- Chosen for sunlight, climate, and growth habits
- Planted with proper spacing, depth, and soil support
Stone & Steel Edging Installation
Edging helps define plant beds and prevents mulch and soil from spilling into nearby lawn or pavement. We install clean, durable borders and retaining walls using metal, stone, or concrete. These edges enhance structure and reduce long-term maintenance.
- Options include steel, stone, brick, or concrete edging
- Separates plant beds from lawn, gravel, or hardscape
- Keeps mulch contained and edges crisp over time
Mulch & Groundcover Application
We apply mulch or living groundcover to conserve moisture, insulate roots, and reduce weeds. Mulch also gives beds a clean, uniform finish. Organic, dyed, and decorative options are available.
- Helps retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth
- Regulates soil temperature for plant health
- Options include hardwood, dyed mulch, gravel, or live groundcover
Seasonal Color & Accent Planting
Accent plants and seasonal color bring variety and interest to your landscape throughout the year. We plant annuals, blooming perennials, or ornamental grasses to add pops of color and texture. These additions can be refreshed annually or seasonally.
- Adds visual impact with color, height, and texture
- Perfect for entryways, focal beds, or high-traffic areas
- Custom combinations based on season and sunlight
Bed Renovation & Replanting
Over time, plant beds may become crowded, outdated, or underperforming. We renovate existing beds by removing unhealthy plants, improving soil, and updating the layout. This service helps bring older landscapes back to life.
- Removes old or overgrown plants and weeds
- Refreshes bed shape, soil, and plant mix
- Improves health, appearance, and ease of maintenance
