It Doesn't Feel Finished

Landscape Design That Starts With the Whole Backyard
Great landscaping isn't just about choosing plants. It's about understanding how everything outside your home should work together.
The Deck & Patio Company designs residential landscapes around the way you want to use your property — considering planting, privacy, drainage, lighting, patios, pools, decks, outdoor kitchens and future improvements before construction begins.
Whether you're searching for a landscape designer near you or trying to figure out what your backyard could become, we'll help you create a plan before you start building.
Serving Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Montgomery, Tomball and surrounding North Houston communities.
Plan Before You Build
Before You Start Landscaping, Look at the Entire Backyard
One of the most expensive mistakes homeowners can make is improving a backyard one project at a time without considering what comes next.
A new flower bed may affect drainage. A future pool may change elevations, walkways and planting areas. A patio cover can change where landscaping receives sunlight.
An outdoor kitchen may require utilities to cross areas you were planning to landscape. And the privacy you want today may eventually involve a combination of plants, screens and structures.
That's why our landscape design process starts with a bigger question:
What do you ultimately want your backyard to become?
You don't necessarily have to build everything at once. But planning the entire outdoor environment first can help each improvement become part of a larger plan.

What Would You Like to Change About Your Backyard?
You don't need to know exactly what the solution is. Start with what isn't working today.
We Need More Privacy
Explore strategic planting, privacy screens and outdoor structures that create separation without making the backyard feel closed in.
Water Collects in the Yard
Consider drainage, grading and landscape design together before adding improvements that could make the problem worse.
We Just Built — or Want — a Pool
Plan landscaping around views, privacy, maintenance, drainage, lighting and how people will move around the pool.
We Want Less Maintenance
Design planting areas and outdoor spaces around the amount of maintenance you actually want to perform.
We Want to Use the Backyard More
Think beyond landscaping alone and consider shade, seating, lighting, cooking, entertaining and comfortable outdoor living.
Our Landscaping Feels Dated
Reimagine an established property without assuming everything needs to be removed and started over.
We Don't Know Where to Start
That's exactly where design helps. We'll look at the property, your priorities and your long-term plans before recommending where to begin.
A Coordinated Outdoor Environment
Landscape Design Is More Than Choosing Plants
Plants are important, but they're only one part of a successful landscape. A thoughtful residential landscape design considers how each part of the property affects everything around it.
Planting & Landscape Beds
Trees, shrubs, seasonal color, planting areas and landscape materials selected around the property and design goals.
Privacy
Use landscaping and other outdoor elements to create more comfortable, private spaces.
Drainage & Grading
Consider how water moves through the property before landscaping and hardscape improvements are installed.
Pools & Water Features
Plan landscaping around pool views, access, debris, privacy, maintenance and outdoor living areas.

Connect planting areas with patios, walkways, seating areas and other usable outdoor spaces.

Coordinate elevations, access, landscaping and outdoor structures rather than designing each independently.
Explore this serviceOutdoor Lighting
Plan lighting to improve visibility, highlight landscaping and extend the use of outdoor spaces after dark.
Outdoor Kitchens & Fire Features
Consider how gathering spaces, cooking areas and fire features relate to landscaping and circulation.
Explore this serviceFuture Projects
Leave room for tomorrow's pool, patio cover, outdoor kitchen or other improvement rather than designing yourself into a corner.
The plan can also coordinate custom fire features and screened outdoor enclosures with the surrounding landscape.
Design Once. Build in Phases.
You Don't Have to Build Everything at Once
A complete backyard transformation can be a significant project. That doesn't mean every part has to be built at the same time.
A comprehensive landscape and outdoor living plan can help establish where major elements belong before construction begins.
You may start with landscaping and drainage this year, add a patio or cover later, and eventually build a pool or outdoor kitchen. When those possibilities are considered from the beginning, today's project is less likely to interfere with tomorrow's.
