Common questions
What plants work best in Corpus Christi?
Use plants that can handle heat, humidity, wind, and salty air. Native and adapted plants usually survive better than high-water plants brought in for looks alone.
Are landscapers licensed in Texas?
Basic landscaping is not state licensed. Irrigation work and pesticide applications are regulated separately, so those parts need the right license.
Can landscaping help drainage?
Yes, if grading and water flow are part of the plan. Mulch and plants alone will not fix water pooling against the house.
Can you make my yard lower maintenance?
Yes. Rock beds, drip irrigation, hardy shrubs, edging, and fewer high-water plants can cut upkeep. Low maintenance still means some weeding and trimming.
Do you handle HOA rules?
Most crews can work from HOA guidelines. Send the rules before design so plant height, borders, rocks, and tree choices do not create a problem later.
Can you landscape around a pool?
Yes. Choose plants that do not drop constant debris, have aggressive roots, or stain decking. Pool areas need clean edges and safe drainage.
Should irrigation be fixed before planting?
Yes. New plants need reliable water. A licensed irrigator should check dry zones, drip lines, and controller timing before the landscape goes in.
