Lawn Maintenance
Weekly and bi-weekly mowing, edging, trimming and blowing by the same crew every visit.
Fertilization
Soil-tested feeding, core aeration and a fall winterizer, timed to when East Texas grass can actually use it.
Hedge Trimming
Boxwoods, hollies, ligustrums and photinias shaped by hand, cut at the right time of year, with every clipping hauled off.
Mulch Installation
Clean edges, weeds pulled by the root, and mulch laid at the depth that works in East Texas: 1 to 1.5 inches.
Landscaping
Beds, shrubs, trees, sod and borders planned around East Texas clay and summer heat, and installed by the same family-owned crew from start to finish.
Christmas Lights
We supply the lights, custom-cut professional C9 lines to your roofline, hang them, take them down after the season and store them.
Sod Installation
Bermuda, St. Augustine or Zoysia matched to how much sun your yard gets, laid over soil we prep first.
Drainage & Grading
French drains, regrading, downspout reroutes and swales for yards that hold water after every rain.
Hardscaping & Patios
Paver and flagstone patios, walkways, fire pits and seating walls, dug out and built on a compacted base so they stay level in East Texas clay.
Retaining Walls
Block, stone and timber walls built on a compacted base with gravel and drain pipe behind them, so they hold East Texas slopes instead of leaning.
Leaf Removal
We blow the leaves out of your lawn and beds onto the driveway, vacuum them into our trailer and haul them off.
Tree Planting
The right tree for the spot, planted at the right depth in East Texas clay, with a watering plan that gets it through the first year.
Tree & Shrub Care
Pruning, shaping and seasonal care for East Texas trees and shrubs, each one cut in its own window.
Christmas lights more than an hour from Longview start at $1,800. Drainage details are in our French drain cost guide.

Why do you give ranges instead of a flat rate?
No two yards are the same. Size, materials, access, wall height and ground prep all change what a job takes. A flat rate would overcharge simple jobs or shortchange complex ones.
Are quotes free?
Yes. We walk the property in person, usually within a day, and send a free written, itemized estimate with no pressure.
