Landscaping & Hardscaping in Pecan Grove, TX
Mature Yards Deserve a Fresh LookPecan Grove is not a brand new subdivision. That changes what good landscaping in Pecan Grove looks like. This is an established golf-course community off FM 359 northeast of Richmond. Most homes were built from the late 1970s through the 1990s on big, tree-shaded lots. Those yards do not need first-time builder work. They need renovation: mature tree care, bed refreshes, drainage updates, and hardscape that brings a 30-year-old backyard up to date. Houston Landscape Images is a family owned landscaping and hardscaping company. We travel out to Pecan Grove for design and build work. We hold a 4.9 star rating across 73 Google reviews. We have been shaping greater Houston yards for more than 30 years.
Why Established Pecan Grove Yards Need a Different Approach
Mature Trees Need Real Care
Pecan Grove was named for the large native pecan trees that line its streets. Big canopies shade beds, drop limbs, and crowd out grass. So trimming and the right shade plants matter here.
Older Yards Are Ready for a Refresh
Many beds, patios, and walkways here are decades old. We update tired layouts and worn hardscape instead of starting from a bare builder lot.
Clay Soil Drives the Work
The heavy clay common across Fort Bend County drains slowly and shifts with wet and dry spells. We prep beds and set hardscape with that movement in mind.
Drainage Is a Levee-Community Concern
Pecan Grove sits behind a levee near the Brazos River, and the Pecan Grove MUD runs its own drainage system. Good grading on your lot helps that system do its job.
Deed Restrictions Still Apply
The Pecan Grove Property Owners Association enforces deed restrictions on how yards and structures look. We plan work that fits those rules.
Professional Landscaping & Hardscaping Services for Pecan Grove, TX
Renovating an established yard is a different job than finishing a new one. We treat it that way. We start by walking your property to read the grade, the soil, the tree canopy, and where water wants to go. From there we plan the beds, sod, patios, and drainage as one connected update instead of a pile of separate fixes. Because we both design and build, you work with one Pecan Grove crew from the first sketch to the final walk-through. That keeps the timeline tight. It also keeps the result consistent across a yard that may have been added to piece by piece over the years.

Top Landscaping & Hardscaping Services in Pecan Grove, TX
Tree Trimming & Removal in Pecan Grove
Pecan Grove is full of mature pecans, live oaks, and other big trees that have grown for decades. We trim for shape, clearance, and storm safety. We thin canopies so grass and beds get light. We also remove dead or hazard trees with full stump removal when you want the spot replanted.
Drainage & Grading for Pecan Grove Lots
This is a levee community next to the Brazos River, and clay soil keeps rain from soaking in fast. We grade yards and add French drains or area drains so water moves off your lot and away from the slab. This works with the Pecan Grove MUD system rather than against it.
Plant Bed & Garden Refresh in Pecan Grove
Decades-old plant beds get overgrown, sunken, or bare under heavy tree shade. We rebuild them with amended soil, fresh edging, and a drip line. We choose heat-tough, shade-friendly plants like dwarf yaupon, salvia, and liriope that suit established yards here.
Landscape Design for Pecan Grove Properties
We redesign older yards so they read as one finished space instead of years of add-ons. Plans work around mature trees, big lots, and POA rules, with grading set to move water the right way. The result fits the relaxed, established feel of this golf-course community.
Sod Installation for Pecan Grove Lawns
Heavy shade and thinning turf are common on these mature lots. We prep the clay, level low spots, and lay fresh sod, using St. Augustine under tree canopies and Bermuda where the sun reaches. You get an even lawn instead of bare, mossy patches.
Patios & Outdoor Living in Pecan Grove
The generous backyards here have room for real outdoor living, and many older patios are cracked or undersized. We build new patios in pavers, poured concrete, or natural stone. Each one sits on a base that handles shifting clay, so you get a solid, level spot for seating and dining.
Patio Covers & Pergolas for Pecan Grove Backyards
Shade and rain cover make a big Pecan Grove backyard usable through the long Gulf Coast summer. We build patio covers that tie into your roofline and freestanding pergolas for open areas, framed to stand up to heat, sun, and storms.
Concrete Overlay & Driveway Updates in Pecan Grove
Driveways and walkways on these older lots often show their age. We resurface worn concrete with a concrete overlay that adds color or texture. This refreshes the look without the cost of a full tear-out. We also pour new driveways and sidewalks when the slab is past saving.
Why Good Landscaping Pays Off in Pecan Grove, TX
Pecan Grove has been an established community since the late 1970s. The developer set out to build a country-club neighborhood with larger homesites and a slower pace. That history is the point. Buyers here are not choosing between identical new builds. They are looking for character, mature trees, and a yard that has been cared for. A thoughtful renovation makes an older home stand out instead of looking dated.
The bigger reason is how this land behaves. The community sits behind a levee near the Brazos River, and the soil leans toward heavy clay. Decades-old grading does not always move water the way it should anymore. Letting rain pool near your slab is a costly problem to fix later. We plan grading and drainage into every renovation, so your yard protects the home as well as it dresses it up.
Doing the work right also saves money over time. The correct grass for each shaded spot, beds rebuilt for clay, and hardscape set on a proper base all mean less rework down the road. A quick patch can fail after one wet season. A proper update holds up for years.

- ★★★★★
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!

Emily G. - ★★★★★
Sanson & his team did a fabulous job with my back garden landscaping project. He immediately grasped the concept and the look that I was after. I’m delighted with how it turned out; in fact we ended up adding landscaping lighting to it. Very professional, turned up on time and kept the site clean and tidy. I would recommend and we will use him again for any future projects.

Chris G. - ★★★★★
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...
Michael L. - ★★★★★
I couldn’t be happier with the service and results from HLI! Their extensive knowledge of plants and landscaping materials made it easy to trust their recommendations, and they took the time to truly listen to my vision for my yard. The team did an amazing job tailoring their work to fit my needs, and the results exceeded my expectations. They were quick, efficient, and left my yard spotless after the project was complete. I’ve used their services for several projects now, and the quality of their work consistently impresses me. I’ve already referred neighbors and friends to Sanson and his team and will continue to do so because they deliver exceptional work every time. Highly recommend!
Tamara C. - ★★★★★
I highly recommend Houston Landscape Images. They installed a wonderful water feature along with a large paver patio in our backyard. They also greatly expanded the flowerbeds and installed very nice landscaping in the front. We’ve actually won yard of the month twice because of their work. We have recommended them to friends and neighbors and all have been very pleased with the work Sanson and his team has done for them. The huge covered patio and outdoor kitchen HLI built for our friends is amazing!! Call them. You won’t be disappointed.

Pecan Grove Landscaping FAQ
What does the Pecan Grove ACC need before I start a project?
The Pecan Grove Property Owners' Association requires advance approval from its Architectural Control Committee for all exterior changes. The committee has 30 days to review an application and looks at deed restrictions, materials and how the design fits existing structures. Deed restrictions vary by section, so check yours. The POA encourages online applications, and we supply the drawings and material details you need to apply.
Can you work around the big pecan trees in my yard?
Yes, and we plan around them from the start. Tree roots spread wide and shallow, so we avoid heavy digging and new concrete inside the root zone when we can. We use raised beds with light soil, mulch rings and permeable paths near trees. Under a heavy canopy, we switch tired turf to shade plants or mulched beds. We also trim dead or low limbs before building a patio or cover underneath.
Is Pecan Grove inside Richmond city limits?
No. Pecan Grove is an unincorporated community in Fort Bend County, in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Houston and Richmond, with a Richmond 77406 address. For most yard work, POA approval is the main step, though work in a mapped floodplain can need a Fort Bend County permit. Pecan Grove shares our home ZIP code, so it is one of the closest communities we serve.
Is it worth renovating an older Pecan Grove yard instead of starting over?
Usually. Many Pecan Grove yards were planted decades ago and have good bones: mature trees, established beds and solid layouts. We keep what is healthy, replace worn beds and turf, update old walkways and patios, and fix drainage that shifted as the ground settled. That often costs less than a full tear-out and keeps the shade and privacy that mature plants give you.
