Landscape Design in Waxahachie, Texas

Landscape design is the plan that comes before the planting: where beds go, what grows in them, how the ground is shaped and where water leaves the property. K&H handles design and installation together in Waxahachie and across Ellis County, so the person drawing the plan is the person who has to build it. Almost everything here sits on Blackland Prairie clay. It swells when it is wet and shrinks and cracks when it is dry, which is why beds that looked right in spring are sitting in standing water by autumn and why plants chosen off a nursery label often fail in their second summer. Grading and drainage get settled before anything decorative goes in, and planting is picked for heat, clay and the amount of real sun a bed gets rather than for how it looks on the day it goes in. A design might be a single front bed with new edging and a few structural plants, or a whole back yard laid out around a patio, a pergola and a run of lighting. Either way the sequence is the same. We walk the property, measure, talk through what you actually use the space for, and put the scope and the price in writing before any work is booked. The visit costs nothing.
