Most backyards look flat because they're missing one thing: Plant Layering
Here's how we designed this Houston backyard to create privacy, depth, and year-round color:
? **Screening Trees** — Tall evergreens along the fence create privacy and soften the hard fence line, making the space feel enclosed and relaxing.
? **Evergreen Shrubs** — Layered beneath the trees to keep beds looking full and textured through every season.
? **Flowering Perennials** — Pops of purple break up the greenery and add seasonal color without overcrowding the space.
? **Contrast Foliage** — Darker-leafed plants make the lighter greens and flowers around them stand out even more.
⚡ **Steel Bed Edging** — Clean, crisp lines that separate turf from planting beds and make maintenance much easier.
The best landscapes aren't just planted — they're **designed in layers.** Canopy, mid-level shrubs, groundcover, and seasonal color work together to create something that matures beautifully over time.
If you're ready to transform your backyard, we'll build a custom planting plan tailored to your property.

DekTek Tile decking tiles used to create a multi-level deck. This deck starts in the front of the home with tile stairs leading up to the front door and wraps around the side of the house to an outdoor kitchen that is protected with DekTek Tiles noncombustible and fireproof tiles. The top layer also leads to a set of stairs leading to the middle deck. The second layer of the deck holds a table and chairs set up, and then leads to the third layer of the deck. The bottom layer deck is set up to view the beautiful green scenery and also has a bench set in the back for relaxing outdoors. This beautiful and unique project could not look any better!

A sweeping border of red seasonal flowers follows the curve of the brick pool terrace. Palms, small trees and evergreen shrubs rise behind the color, creating a layered garden composition with depth and year-round structure.

Our clients on this project were inspired by their travels to Asia and wanted to mimic this aesthetic at their DC property. We designed a water feature that effectively masks adjacent traffic noise and maintains a small footprint.

The master bedroom is the highlight of the home with a wall-to-wall gray headboard surrounded by vintage black and white photographs the design team located and framed.
