Yards & conditions in Houston
Houston sits in USDA hardiness zone 9a with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Local yards typically deal with sandy and acidic coastal soils and heavy summer rain, humidity-driven fungus and a near year-round growing season. That’s why Houston lawns are usually planted with warm-season turf like St. Augustine, Zoysia and Bermuda, with the best results in fall and early spring (the lawn grows almost year-round). A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule landscaping in Houston
The busiest stretch for landscaping in Houston is fall and early spring (the lawn grows almost year-round), when planting and installs take best. Booking a little ahead of the rush means better availability and pricing.

What affects your Houston landscaping price
No two Houston projects are priced the same. The biggest factors are the size of your yard, how much design and planting is involved, the amount of hardscaping, site access, and any grading or drainage work. Because of that, an on-site look and an itemized quote will always beat a number pulled off the internet.

A local pro who understands Houston’s sandy and acidic coastal soils and hot, humid summers and mild winters will build something that actually thrives. Every pro in our network is screened and insured, so you get quality work without the liability. Skip the calling around — share your details once and let the right Houston pros come to you.
