BRAZOS COUNTY
GREENRIVER IN COLLEGE STATION, TX
College Station is the larger half of the Bryan–College Station metro, a city of about 120,500 people (2020 census) built around Texas A&M University. It grew fast after World War II and is still growing south, so yards range from decades-old lots near campus to new subdivisions toward Greens Prairie and Wellborn.
About 10 minutes south of our Bryan base down Texas Avenue.
The ground
Brazos County uplands are mostly claypan and clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry, so anything built on the ground here needs a properly excavated and compacted base and a plan for where the water goes.
Homes and lots
Older ranch homes with mature oaks in Southwood Valley and Emerald Forest, a large stock of student rentals near campus, and newer HOA subdivisions such as Castlegate and Pebble Creek on tighter, flatter lots.
Good to know
Fences, decks, pools, and other residential projects are permitted through the City of College Station Planning & Development Services Building Division at 1101 Texas Avenue, HOA neighborhoods usually need architectural approval first, and utilities get marked through Texas811 before any digging.

SERVICES IN COLLEGE STATION
Everything we do in College Station.
LAWN & LANDSCAPE CARE
Rentals and out-of-town owners make up a big share of College Station yards, so a fixed weekly schedule that runs whether or not anyone is home matters more here than almost anywhere else.
OUTDOOR IMPROVEMENTS
Newer south-side houses often came with builder sod and a strip of shrubs, while older neighborhoods have beds and lighting that lost their shape years ago, so the work is usually a first build-out or a reset.
SITE & PROPERTY WORK
Flat lots with houses close together send water from two roofs into one side yard, so grading and drains in College Station are mostly about moving water off small, level lots and away from slabs.
PAVERS & HARDSCAPE
Clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons is what makes thin-base patios settle here, and HOA subdivisions often want material and layout approval before a paver job starts.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Many homes have a small builder slab off the back door, and extending it into a covered patio or outdoor kitchen is the most common way to make a College Station backyard usable through the summer.
OUTDOOR STRUCTURES
Pergolas, pavilions, and sheds in HOA neighborhoods usually need architectural approval and have to respect setbacks on lots where there is little room between houses.
TURF, FENCES & COURTS
Residential fences are permitted through the city, HOAs often set style and height, and fences around pools have to meet the city’s adopted barrier requirements.
