Landscaping & Hardscaping in Waller, TX
Built for Acreage, Big Yards, and Country LivingWaller is country, and country yards need a different plan than a quarter-acre lot in the city. We bring landscaping and hardscaping to Waller, TX for the kind of property you find out here. That means horse acreage, wooded lots, wide pastures, and new homes on one and two acre homesites. Waller sits about 41 miles northwest of downtown Houston, between Harris and Waller counties along US-290. It is classified as fully rural. We are a family run crew with a 4.9 star rating across 73 Google reviews and more than 30 years in the trade. We drive out to you, walk the whole property, and build outdoor spaces that fit the land instead of fighting it.
What Sets Waller Yards Apart
Sandy Loam on Top, Clay Pan Below
Much of Waller sits in the Post Oak Savannah. The upland soil is a sandy loam over a dense clay layer a few feet down. That topsoil drains well, but the clay pan holds water during heavy rain. We grade and plant around both.
Big Lots Change the Whole Plan
A one or two acre homesite is not a city yard scaled up. Sightlines, mowing paths, tree placement, and irrigation all work differently on acreage. We design at the right scale so the whole property reads as one space.
Well Water and Pasture Realities
Plenty of Waller acreage runs on a private well. Home and farm wells on larger tracts are exempt from drilling permits here, though they still must be registered with the district. We plan irrigation and plant choices that respect well capacity and the open, sun heavy pasture conditions out here.
Sun, Heat, and Wooded Edges
Open Waller pastureland bakes in full sun. Wooded lots near the creeks hold shade and leaf litter. We match grass and plants to each spot. So the sunny stretches and the shady tree lines both fill in and hold.
Codes and Restrictions Done Right
Some Waller land is unrestricted, while subdivisions like Lakeview or Saddle Creek Forest carry deed rules. We check what applies to your tract before we start so the finished work stays in line.
Professional Landscaping & Hardscaping Services for Waller, TX
Most jobs in Waller start the same way. We drive out, walk the land, and look at how water moves across it before we draw a single line. On acreage that matters even more. A plan that ignores the slope or the clay pan will fail in the first big storm. We handle the full build under one roof, from landscape design and sod to patios, retaining walls, drainage, and lighting. That means one crew you can reach, one schedule, and no finger pointing between trades. You may have a new home in a master planned section off US-290 or an older spread on FM 362. Either way, we tailor the work to your tract and the way you use it.
Who We Serve in Waller, TX
We work with Waller homeowners on acreage, families in new subdivisions, horse property owners, and business owners along the highway. Every property is different out here, so every plan is built for the specific land and how you live on it.

Landscape Design for Waller Acreage
On a one or two acre homesite, a good plan ties the house, drive, trees, and open ground into one space. We handle landscape design at acreage scale. We work with the sandy loam uplands and the natural slope, so the layout looks right and drains right. You get a yard that fits country living, not a city plan stretched too thin.
Drainage & Grading for Big Lots
The clay pan under Waller's topsoil holds water during heavy rain, and flat pasture can pond fast. We grade for fall and run French drains or swales to move water off your home, barn, and paddock areas. On acreage this is often the first fix that makes everything else last.
Sod for Large Waller Yards
Covering a big yard takes the right grass and a clean base. We lay Bermuda for the open, sun heavy stretches and St. Augustine where wooded edges throw shade. Both are warm season grasses suited to this climate. The result is a thick lawn that handles full Waller sun and foot traffic.
Tree Trimming & Removal on Wooded Lots
Waller's wooded tracts carry post oak, blackjack oak, and other natives. These trees need real care, not a quick topping. We trim for health and clearance and remove storm damaged or crowded trees. Then we handle the stump. Clearing the right limbs also opens light, so grass and beds below can fill in.
Irrigation for Acreage and Pasture
Watering a large Waller lot by hand is a losing battle, especially on well water. We design irrigation zones sized to your supply. Lawns, beds, and key plantings get steady water without running the well dry. Smart zoning keeps a big property green through the long Texas summer.
Plant & Garden Beds Built for Local Soil
We build plant beds with amended soil and tough, sun friendly plants that hold up in Waller's open conditions. Defined beds give a sprawling acreage yard structure near the house and entry. With irrigation tied in, they stay full and low fuss across the seasons.
Patios & Patio Covers for Country Living
Out here a patio is where you watch the horses or the sunset, so it should be sized for real use. We pour and set patios in concrete, pavers, or natural stone. We add patio covers framed in aluminum or treated lumber for shade and rain. Set on a proper base and sealed, it stands up to Waller heat and storms.
Retaining Walls & Borders
Sloped tracts and the shift between sandy topsoil and clay below can call for a wall. A wall holds ground and steers water. We build retaining walls and stone borders that handle the load and frame beds, drives, and grade changes. Done right, they protect the slope and clean up the look.
Why Good Landscaping Pays Off in Waller, TX
In Waller, the land is the draw. So the work that makes a property better is the work that respects the land. Grading that keeps water off the house and barn, a lawn that fits full sun, and beds that survive the clay pan are not cosmetic touches. They protect your home and make daily life on acreage easier.
Country properties also ask more of the basics. A long drive, an outbuilding, a pasture edge, and a wooded back line all need a plan. Skipping the drainage or the right grass shows up fast after the next storm. We build for that reality. We use grading, durable hardscape, and proper plant choices, so the result holds up year after year.
The payoff is a property that works as hard as you do. Clean, well drained grounds are easier to maintain. They are kinder to your foundation and well, and far more pleasant to live on. On Waller acreage, that mix of function and curb appeal is what sets a place apart.

Angel R. - ★★★★★
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 is as good as it gets! The landscaping on our house was amazing when we bought it. We asked the previous owners and they referred us to HLI. They refreshed and upgraded our landscaping and installed our Christmas lights.
Bobby O. - ★★★★★
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...

Waller Landscaping FAQ
Can I water a new landscape from my private well in Waller?
Usually, yes. Wells in Waller County fall under the Bluebonnet Groundwater Conservation District, which requires new wells, including exempt domestic wells, to be registered before drilling. For landscaping, the bigger question is how much water your well pump can supply. We size irrigation zones to your well's output and lean on drought-tough plants, so the landscape does not strain your household water.
Do I need a permit for landscaping on land outside Waller city limits?
Planting and sod rarely need a permit, but structures and utilities can. The City of Waller handles permits inside city limits. Outside it, Waller County rules apply, and work in a mapped floodplain often needs county approval. Unrestricted land may have no HOA, but check your deed for restrictions anyway. We go over these questions before we design.
Do you build outdoor living spaces for ranch and farm-style homes?
Yes. Country homes suit covered patios and pavilions in cedar or stained wood, stone fire features, and outdoor kitchens sized for big gatherings. We match materials to the house and the setting, and we plan paths, lighting and drainage across the longer distances you find on acreage.
