Houston Landscape Design & Installation
Residential landscape design and installation for Houston-area homes, created for Gulf Coast conditions and installed with a Texas A&M horticulturist personally on site.
Landscaping that understands Houston
Garden Guy has designed and installed landscapes across Houston and Southwest Houston since 1991 — long enough to know that no two yards here behave the same. An established lot near the inner loop, a newer suburban build, a shady oak-canopied street, a wide sunny corner: each wants different plants and a different plan.
What they share is the Gulf Coast reality — brutal summer heat, humidity, heavy clay, and drainage you design for rather than hope for. We build around the sun and shade a yard actually gets, the irrigation on site, and how a plant performs here over years, not just on install day. See our full service areas.
What we do
For Houston homeowners, that means turning a builder-basic or tired yard into a finished landscape — designed and installed by one team.
Garden Guy handles full landscape design, complete installation, renovation, bed and planting redesign, plant selection for your site, and sod where it's warranted. What we don't do is mowing, weekly maintenance, or lawn chemicals — we design and build, then hand you back a yard that's ready to enjoy.

Designed by a horticulturist, not a catalog
In a city this big, the same plant can thrive on one street and sulk two blocks over. Before anything goes in, Todd reads the Gulf Coast heat and humidity, the drainage and clay in that exact spot, the sun and shade through the day, the irrigation, a plant's mature size, and the upkeep you'll actually keep up with.
It's the difference between a Houston yard that looks good the week it's planted and one that keeps getting better. Meet the family behind Garden Guy ›
The horticulturist you meet is the horticulturist on your job site.
Across Houston, Todd is physically on site during Garden Guy installations — not a salesman who books the job and disappears. The Aggie horticulturist who planned your landscape is the one leading the crew when it goes in.
