Landscaping Designed Around the Whole Backyard
Your landscaping doesn't exist by itself. It surrounds the pool, frames the patio, creates privacy, connects outdoor spaces and changes what you see from inside your home. And after sunset, lighting can transform how the entire backyard feels.
That's why The Deck & Patio Company looks beyond individual plants and considers landscaping as part of the complete outdoor environment.
Whether you're searching for a landscaper near you, refreshing an established property or planning an entirely new backyard, we'll help you start with the bigger picture.
Serving Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Montgomery, Tomball and surrounding North Houston communities.
Sometimes You Know the Backyard Needs Something. You Just Don't Know What.
Maybe the landscaping feels dated. Maybe the backyard looks unfinished.
Maybe you can see straight into the neighbor's yard. Maybe you built a pool and everything around it still feels empty.
Maybe you've created several outdoor spaces over the years, but nothing really connects. Or maybe you simply look outside and think: "This could be so much better."
You don't need to arrive with a landscape plan.
You don't need to know which plants you want.
And you don't need to know which of our landscaping services you need.
Start with what isn't working — and what you'd like your backyard to become.

Tell Us About Your BackyardThe Bigger Picture
A Landscaper May See Plants. We See the Backyard.
Plants matter. But so does everything around them.
A tree can affect the pool. A planting bed can affect drainage. A privacy decision can change a view. A patio determines how people move through the space. A patio cover changes sunlight. Lighting changes everything after sunset.
And something you build today can affect what you're able to add tomorrow. That's why The Deck & Patio Company approaches landscaping as part of the complete outdoor environment.

What Could Your Backyard Become?
Sometimes it's difficult to imagine what's possible when you're looking at the backyard you already have.
An empty lawn can become a landscape. An exposed pool can become a private retreat. A dark backyard can come alive after sunset. An outdated outdoor area can become somewhere you actually want to spend time. And a collection of disconnected projects can become one cohesive outdoor environment.
Start With a Plan
Before You Decide What to Plant, Decide What the Backyard Needs to Do.
Good landscape design begins with more than choosing plants.
How do you use the backyard? Where do you need privacy? What do you see from inside the house? Where does the sun hit hardest? How does water move through the property? What already exists? What might you want to build later?
Those questions help turn landscaping from a collection of individual choices into a plan.
Bring the Plan to Life
From Ideas to a Finished Landscape
Once the direction is clear, landscape installation brings the pieces together.
Planting areas, trees, shrubs, landscape materials and surrounding outdoor features should feel connected to the home rather than added independently.
Whether you're replacing outdated landscaping or completing a larger backyard transformation, the objective is the same: create a landscape that looks like it belongs there.
Create Your Own Space
Want More Privacy Without Making the Backyard Feel Closed In?
Privacy is one of the most common reasons homeowners rethink their landscaping. Strategic planting can soften unwanted views, screen neighboring properties and make pools, patios and gathering areas feel more comfortable.
And sometimes the best solution isn't landscaping alone. Depending on the property, landscaping may work alongside privacy screens, pergolas or other outdoor structures to create separation without making the backyard feel boxed in.
Privacy isn't necessarily about building a wall. It's about controlling the views that matter.
Explore Privacy LandscapingBeyond the Water
The Pool May Be the Centerpiece. The Backyard Is the Experience.
A beautiful swimming pool can still feel unfinished when everything around it was treated as an afterthought.
Landscaping can help create privacy, soften hard surfaces, improve views and visually connect the pool to the rest of the property. But good pool landscaping should also consider maintenance, mature plant growth, pathways, lighting, drainage and the other ways people use the backyard.
Already have a pool? We can start there. Planning a new pool? That's an opportunity to think about the entire backyard before construction begins.
After Sunset
Your Backyard Shouldn't Disappear When the Sun Goes Down.
During the day, sunlight reveals the landscape. After sunset, you decide what deserves to be seen.
Thoughtful outdoor lighting can highlight trees, reveal landscaping, define pathways and visually connect pools, patios and outdoor living areas after dark.
The goal isn't to light everything. It's to create depth, visibility and atmosphere around the spaces you want to enjoy.
It Doesn't Have to Happen All at Once
Plan the Backyard. Build What Makes Sense Now.
Maybe landscaping is today's priority. The pool could come later. Or maybe the pool already exists and privacy is next. Lighting could be another phase. An outdoor kitchen or patio cover might happen years from now.
That's okay. A larger plan doesn't mean everything has to be built at once. It simply helps today's decisions make sense with tomorrow's possibilities.

Start With a PlanLandscaping Has to Work Here — Not Somewhere Else.
A landscape can look beautiful in a photograph and still be wrong for the property.
That's why landscape decisions should be made around the individual property rather than copied from a generic inspiration photo. The objective is to create a backyard that looks good and makes sense for the way the property actually works.
North Houston landscapes have to contend with real-world conditions including:
- Intense summer heat
- Periods of strong sun
- Heavy rainfall
- Drainage
- Established trees
- Changing shade
- Pool environments
- Neighboring properties
- Long outdoor-living seasons
