Irrigation designed in-house

Our Texas Licensed Irrigator designs and seals the irrigation plan, so the planting and the water that keeps it alive are drawn together, zone by zone.

Plants that make it through a Houston summer

Live oaks for shade, bald cypress by the water, native grasses and perennials that handle heat, heavy rain and clay. Each plan comes as a colored drawing you can read at a glance.
