Landscaping that fits Missouri City

We've called First Colony home since 2001, so Missouri City isn't a service area to us — it's the neighborhood. Many of its yards are mature: big shade trees, established beds that have outgrown their original design, and the turf struggles that come with decades of canopy.

That changes the job. Under heavy shade, forcing sod is a losing battle; the right move is often shade-tolerant groundcovers, refreshed beds, and plants chosen to thrive out of direct sun. Add our heavy clay, the drainage to plan for, and irrigation to match, and local horticultural judgment matters far more than a plant tag. We work throughout Missouri City, First Colony and Sienna. See our full service areas.

What we do

For Missouri City homeowners, that often means renovating a mature yard — reworking tired beds and finding what actually thrives under established shade.

Garden Guy handles full landscape design, installation, renovation, bed and planting redesign, plant selection, and sod where it makes sense — designed and installed as one job. We don't mow, maintain weekly, or spray chemicals; we design and build.

Decades of Missouri City experience

Designed by a horticulturist, not a catalog

Mature Missouri City yards bring a specific question: what actually thrives under all that shade, in this clay, with this drainage? Todd answers it before planting — factoring sun and shade, mature plant size, irrigation, and the long-term maintenance that keeps a landscape looking intentional.

The result is a yard that works with its big trees instead of fighting them. Meet the family behind Garden Guy ›

The horticulturist you meet is the horticulturist on your job site.

In Missouri City, Todd is personally on site during installations — the same horticulturist who walked your shaded yard and drew the plan, there when it's built, making the calls the site calls for.
