Residential Landscape Design & Installation
Thoughtful, site-specific landscaping designed for Houston-area homes — and installed with the horticulturist personally on site.
Turnkey residential landscape design and installation
Garden Guy is a residential landscape design and installation company — that's all we do, and we've done it across Sugar Land and Southwest Houston since 1991. We handle full front- and backyard design, bed and border redesign, planting design, landscape renovation, and complete installation from the first sketch to the last plant, including sod where a project calls for it.
We're not a mowing service, a maintenance company, or a lawn-chemical outfit. We build thoughtful, lasting landscapes and hand you back a yard that's easy to love.

A simple, three-step process
Consultation
Todd comes out, walks your property, and talks through your goals, budget, and the realities of the site.
Design & recommendations
A clear plan — plant selections, layout, and materials chosen for your yard — so you know exactly what you're getting before anything goes in the ground.
Installation
Our crew builds it with Todd on site: beds prepped, plants placed, everything cleaned up before we leave.
Designed by a horticulturist, not a catalog.
Plenty of companies will install whatever you point at. We won't — not without telling you the truth first. Todd designs around how a plant will actually perform: mature size, the drainage and soil in that exact spot, sun and shade through the day, irrigation, long-term maintenance, and the plain reality of a Houston summer.
The goal isn't a yard that looks good the week it's planted. It's a landscape that grows in the right direction for years — right plant, right place, chosen by someone who knows the difference.
The horticulturist you meet is the horticulturist on your job site.
Todd is personally present during Garden Guy installations. The Aggie horticulturist who walked your yard and drew your plan is the one leading the crew when it goes in — so what's installed matches what was designed, and every judgment call in the field is made by the expert, on the spot.

Backyard retreats
A private courtyard, built to be lived in
This is what a backyard becomes when it’s designed as a whole. A natural flagstone patio laid by hand. Curving, stone-edged beds layered with azaleas and seasonal color. A living diamond of fig vine trained up the fence for privacy that only gets prettier with time.
Every piece is chosen for how it holds up in the Houston heat — and for how good it looks the moment you step out the back door. Room to sit, color that shifts with the seasons, and a space that feels like a getaway of your own.
