Landscaping & Hardscaping in Piney Point Village, TX
Estate Grounds Done Right, From the Bayou to San FelipePiney Point Village is the largest of the Memorial Villages by land area. Most homes here sit on a village acre or more, with Buffalo Bayou running along the south side of the city. That scale changes how landscaping works. A yard this size needs a real plan, deep tree care, and drainage that respects the bayou. Houston Landscape Images is a family run landscaping company with 30 years working west Houston grounds. We hold a 4.9 star rating across 73 Google reviews. We design and build the whole property, plants and hardscape together, so an acre reads as one finished space.

Why Estate Landscaping Is Different in Piney Point Village
Acre-Plus Lots Need a Master Plan
With a 40,000 square foot minimum lot, a Piney Point yard is too big to wing. We master plan the whole property. The front, the motor court, and the back garden all work together.
Big Trees Are the Main Event
The city is heavily wooded with mature pines and hardwoods, and they set the whole look. We protect, prune, and plant around that canopy. The grounds then feel settled, not stripped.
Drainage Near Buffalo Bayou
Buffalo Bayou forms the southern border, and there is an active flood gauge in the city. On lots near the bayou, we grade and drain first. That moves storm water off the property the right way.
Built for Heavy Clay
Like most of west Houston, the ground here is dense clay. It swells when wet and shrinks when dry. We set proper bases and joints so patios, walls, and driveways stay level through the seasons.
Strict Deed Rules and a Tree Ordinance
Piney Point is single family only, with strict deed restrictions. The city's tree ordinance also requires a permit to remove most live trees. We plan and build to those rules so your project clears the first time.
Professional Landscaping & Hardscaping Services for Piney Point Village, TX
We start every Piney Point project on site, and on a lot this size that walk matters. We map the mature trees and see how water runs toward Buffalo Bayou. We note sun and deep shade under the canopy. We also check the deed rules and tree ordinance. From there we draw a master plan made for your acre, not a template. So many lots here are estate scale, so we plan the property in zones: arrival and motor court, formal garden beds, lawn, and a private back retreat. Then we build it: beds, sod, patios, walls, irrigation, drainage, and lighting. We choose materials that last through Gulf Coast heat, humidity, and storms.

An acre gives room for every part of what we build: landscaping for beds, lawn, and trees, hardscaping for motor courts and terraces, and outdoor living like kitchens, fire features, and lighting.
Estate Landscape Design & Master Planning
On a village acre, design is the job that ties everything together. We master plan the full property: arrival, formal beds, lawn, and back garden. Plants, grading, hardscape, and lighting are drawn as one plan that fits the home and the canopy.
Tree Trimming & Removal Under the Canopy
Piney Point is defined by its mature pines and hardwoods, so tree care comes first. We prune for health and clearance. We handle removals within the city's tree ordinance, which requires a permit for most live trees.
Yard Drainage & Irrigation for Large Grounds
With Buffalo Bayou along the south edge and big lots to cover, water control is key. We install French drains, catch basins, and grading to pull storm water off the property. We add zoned irrigation that keeps an acre of beds and lawn watered evenly.
Planting & Formal Garden Beds
Estate grounds call for real garden structure. We build plant beds with better soil so roots are not stuck in raw clay. Then we plant layered, heat tough picks that look good under the tree canopy and frame the home year round.
Patios for Piney Point Backyards
A patio turns part of a big lawn into real outdoor living space. We build pavers, poured concrete, or natural stone over a compacted base with proper joints. We size each one to the scale of an estate yard and set it to stay level on shifting clay.
Driveways, Motor Courts & Walkways
Long approaches and motor courts are part of the look here. We pour and set concrete and paver driveways, walkways, and entry paths on solid bases. We slope them for runoff so they hold up to the heavy clay underneath.
Outdoor Kitchens & Fire and Water Features
Estate backyards are made for entertaining. We build outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and fountains that match the home and the patio. We size them to the lot and plumb and wire them to code for years of use.
Architectural Landscape Lighting
On a wooded acre, lighting is what shows the property off at night. We design low voltage lighting that uplights the big trees, lines the drive, and marks paths and steps. It is all safe to use under the canopy.
Why Good Landscaping Pays Off in Piney Point Village, TX
Piney Point Village is the wealthiest city in Texas by per capita income. The look of an estate is expected, not optional. On a village acre, the grounds are as much a part of the home as the house itself. A well planned landscape with mature trees, clean garden beds, and quality hardscape is simply how property is shown here. It holds that standard on a street where every lot is large and thought through.
The bigger payoff on these lots is protection. Buffalo Bayou runs along the south side, with dense clay underneath. So water control is what keeps grounds, foundations, and big trees healthy over time. Smart grading, drainage, and irrigation move storm water where it should go. They also keep the canopy that defines the city alive. On an acre, that work is not an extra. It is the base of everything planted on top of it.
We build with that in mind on every project. We do deep soil prep for beds and compacted bases under driveways and patios. We give root friendly care around protected trees and plan real drainage. That is how a landscape this size survives Gulf Coast weather. Grounds built this way look right the day we finish and still work years later, through wet springs and long dry summers.

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.

Sanson and his team are very responsible and serious. I noticed they have experience doing this type of construction.

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.

Piney Point Village Landscaping FAQs
Can a large estate landscape be built in phases?
Yes, and on an acre it often makes sense. We draw a master plan for the whole property first, then build it in stages. Drainage and grading usually come first, followed by hardscape, then planting and lighting. Every phase fits the final design, so nothing has to be torn out later.
Do you work with my architect or builder on a new home?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with builders, architects, and designers. Bringing us in early lets the grading, drainage, and tree protection line up with the house plans. It also keeps the landscape from being squeezed at the end of the build.
What should I know about Piney Point tree rules?
The City of Piney Point Village requires a permit to remove live trees 3 inches or more in diameter. The city's guidance also says not to remove more than 25 percent of a tree's crown at one time. We map your trees during the site visit and plan the design so the canopy stays healthy.
