Landscaping & Hardscaping in Bunker Hill Village, TX
Big Wooded Lots Deserve a Crew That Respects the TreesBunker Hill Village is one of the Memorial Villages in west Houston. It does not look like the rest of the city. Homes sit on large wooded lots, often half an acre or more, under a canopy of mature pines and oaks. Landscaping in Bunker Hill Village means working with that shade, those roots, and the city's tree rules, not against them. Houston Landscape Images is a family owned landscaping company. We have done design and build work across Houston for more than 30 years. We hold a 4.9 star rating across 73 Google reviews. We travel to you here and study your lot in person. Then we build a plan that fits a forested, deed restricted property.
Why Doing It Right Matters Here
Your Trees Are Protected by Ordinance
Bunker Hill Village has a tree preservation ordinance. Removing or heavily trimming a mature tree can require a permit and replacement rules. We plan around it so you stay compliant.
Shade Changes Everything
A lot shaded by tall pines and oaks will not grow the same grass or beds as a sunny yard. We pick shade tolerant plants and sod that actually hold up under the canopy.
Clay Soil and Slow Drainage
Greater Houston sits on heavy clay. On big wooded lots that clay holds water and can pool near the house. Proper grading and drainage protect your foundation and your beds.
Buffalo Bayou Is Close
Buffalo Bayou runs nearby, just south of the village. Yards that sit lower need smart grading and drainage so heavy Houston rain moves away from the home, not toward it.
Strict Deed Restrictions
New work in Bunker Hill Village can fall under deed restrictions and city review. We design to fit those standards so your project clears without redo costs.
Professional Landscaping & Hardscaping in Bunker Hill Village, TX
Bunker Hill Village was settled by German farmers and timber cutters long before it incorporated in 1954. The wooded feel is still its signature. Our job is to keep that feel while making your property work harder. We start by walking the lot, checking the canopy, the low spots, and how water drains toward the bayou. From there we build a design that suits your land alone. We use methods proven on Houston clay and shade. The same rule holds for an estate near Memorial Drive or a custom build off Gessner. The plan has to respect the trees, the soil, and the village's rules first.

Top Landscaping Services in Bunker Hill Village, TX
A wooded half acre calls for all three of our service groups. We handle landscaping under the canopy, hardscaping for drives, walks, and walls, and outdoor living builds like covered patios and lighting.
Tree Trimming & Tree Removal in Bunker Hill Village
The village's tall pines and oaks are the whole point, so tree trimming and removal here is careful work. We shape and thin mature trees, clear dead wood, and handle removals. We respect the city's tree preservation rules. When a tree comes out, we can help with stump grinding and replacement planting that keeps you within the ordinance.
Landscape Design for Wooded Bunker Hill Village Lots
A half acre under a canopy needs a real plan, not a template. We handle landscape design that uses the shade, frames your home, and routes water away from the foundation. The layout fits the trees you are keeping and the deed restrictions that apply to your lot.
Drainage & Irrigation for Clay and Shade
Heavy clay and a low canopy keep water on the ground longer. We install French drains, catch basins, and grading to move runoff toward the street and away from the house. Smart irrigation then waters shaded beds the right amount without drowning them.
Sod & Shade Tolerant Lawns in Bunker Hill Village
Sun loving grass struggles under big trees. We install St. Augustine sod and other shade tolerant turf that holds up in Bunker Hill Village's filtered light. We prep the clay base first so the lawn roots in and drains, instead of sitting wet.
Planting & Garden Design Under the Canopy
We build plant beds with shade friendly choices that thrive beneath pines and oaks. Beds get amended soil, clean borders, and irrigation so they look full year round. The goal is a layered, natural look that suits a wooded estate.
Landscape Lighting for Forested Properties
Low voltage lighting does its best work under a heavy canopy. We uplight mature trunks, wash the canopy, and line long drives and paths for safe, warm evenings. On a wooded Bunker Hill Village lot, good lighting turns the trees into the feature.
Patios & Patio Covers for Bunker Hill Village Homes
Shaded backyards are made for outdoor living. We build paver and stone patios, plus patio covers that tie into your roofline and stand up to Houston heat, humidity, and storms. We set them so roots and drainage are handled, not ignored.
Driveways, Walkways & Retaining Walls
Long wooded lots often need solid drives, paths, and grade control. We pour concrete driveways and sidewalks, lay flagstone and paver walkways, and build retaining walls that hold back clay and shape the land. Each is sloped so water keeps moving.
Why Good Landscaping Pays Off in Bunker Hill Village, TX
In a village known for its forested, estate feel, the grounds carry a lot of weight. The right landscape respects the canopy, drains well, and meets the city's standards. That adds real day to day value: cooler shaded living space, a yard that handles heavy rain, and curb appeal that fits the neighborhood. Skip the drainage or the tree rules and you trade that for standing water, stressed grass, and possible compliance headaches.
Our work answers the conditions that are specific to this place. That means clay that shifts and holds water, deep shade that limits what will grow, Buffalo Bayou nearby, and an ordinance that protects the trees people move here for. We grade carefully, plant for shade, and build hardscape that lasts. That is how a property here stays beautiful and useful through Houston's seasons.

They built a patio cover. We are grateful to the company under the direction of Mr. Sanson, who answered all our questions and made recommendations. He is responsible, always available, and clearly has a lot of experience. If you want to make improvements to your home and be sure that they will do a good job, this is the team you need. They built our patio cover. It was an excellent experience. Sanson answered all our questions. He helped us with the design and made several suggestions before construction. Sanson and his team are very responsible and serious. I noticed they have experience doing this type of construction. We are pleased and happy because our patio cover turned out very nice, just as we wanted.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the work done on my yard by Houston Landscape Images. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Sanson Faltine, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to lay out a thoughtful design that worked beautifully with the existing trees and took into account how sun and shade would affect the space. In addition to the landscaping, Sanson also installed a sprinkler system. With many companies, sprinkler installations can lead to issues, but Sanson made sure mine was done with precision and worked flawlessly from the start. His attention to detail and the quality of his work are truly exceptional. He communicates clearly about how to care for the landscaping once the job is done and stands behind his work — something many don’t do these days. The results are something you’ll be proud of — a yard that not only looks beautiful but truly stands out above the rest. If you’re looking to invest in both beauty and quality for your outdoor space, Houston Landscape Images, led by Sanson Faltine, is the only way to go. Highly recommend!

HLI, starting around 9-10 years ago, has provided virtuall all thee Landscape Designs for my front and backyards Through the help of Sanson Faltine and his talented team,, HLI installed all the individually stacked , natural rock slate edging accenting the flower beds in my front yar d. Also HLI installed a irregular natural rock walkway between my driveway and centered sidewalk. In the backyard , HLI performed a design only Sanson could have envisioned. After installing all of the landscape plants and cutting flowerbeds from a complete empty canvas of just sod, covering my patio slab with tile...about a year later, HLI put in a water feature that I have not seen a rival too. Comprised of a waterfall in the center of the flowerbed, a ~50' wandering creek complete with a walking bridge, and a 9' x 12' x4.5' deep pond complete with fish (goldfish) and water lily pads. This "water feature" has impressed everyone that has seen it from friends, relatives, and service folks. It is amazing! I have seen some of the outdoor living spaces that HLI has done on various properties in my area (many on my street). I highly recommend HLI for any of your landscape installations or changes. Here's s few pics...

Jami M. - ★★★★★
Highly Recommended! Our experience with Sanson and Houston Landscape Images exceeded all expectations! We did not have a specific plan in mind and Sanson’s vision and creativity created a wonderful design. Project was bid competitively and was constructed with craftsmanship and daily hands on oversight by owner. The crew worked hard and was very professional. We are still in love with the final product four years later, and minor warranty items were addressed promptly. Sanson and HLI is the BEST contractor we have used for any project at our home or business.

Bunker Hill Village Landscaping FAQs
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Bunker Hill Village?
Yes, for most trees. The City of Bunker Hill Village requires a removal permit for trees 5 inches or more in diameter, measured 4.5 feet above the ground. Lots also need to keep a minimum number of trees for their size. We map your trees before we design and help you plan any removal and replacement the right way.
Does the city review drainage when I add a patio or driveway?
Yes. Bunker Hill Village requires permits for new flatwork and for larger driveway or sidewalk replacements. Most of those permits need a drainage plan from a civil engineer, and the city caps how much of a lot can be covered by hard surfaces. We work with your engineer so the design fits those limits from the start.
How do you protect pine roots during construction?
Pines react badly to soil compaction and grade changes over their roots. We fence off root zones, lay ground protection where equipment has to cross, and avoid cutting large roots. We also keep new soil and paving off the root area whenever we can so the tree keeps getting water and air.
