SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
A layout for the whole yard
Where you sit, cook, walk, and play, and how the pieces connect to each other and to the back door.
Grading and drainage first
Reshaping the ground and setting drain lines before anything is built, so the finished yard sheds a Brazos Valley downpour.
Hardscape and structures
Paver or stone patios, walkways, retaining and seat walls, decks, and pergolas, built on compacted bases.
Beds, lawn, and finish
New beds, stone borders, and sod or seed to tie it together, with the site cleaned up at the end.

Why people call about this.
A new house with a bare yard
Builder sod, a small slab, and nothing else. The best time to plan the whole yard is before pieces get added one at a time.
The yard does not work for how you live
No shade, no place to gather, a lawn nobody uses. Fixing that means rethinking the layout, not patching it.
Several problems at once
Drainage, a failing patio, and overgrown beds are cheaper to solve in one plan than in three separate projects.
BRAZOS COUNTY, TX
Backyard Transformations in Brazos County: what’s different here.
Outside Bryan and College Station, Brazos County is 588 square miles of rolling prairie and post oak woodland between the Brazos and Navasota rivers. The unincorporated parts are small rural communities such as Smetana, Tabor, Reliance, Edge, and Peach Creek, plus a lot of acreage, hay meadow, and country homesites. In the unincorporated county, new construction in a mapped floodplain needs a Brazos County Floodplain Development Permit from the Road & Bridge Department, septic systems are permitted through the Brazos County Health District, and every dig starts with a Texas811 locate.
Outdoor Living in Brazos County
With room to spread out and no neighbors close by, county outdoor living spaces tend to be larger covered patios and kitchens set to take advantage of the view and the shade.
The ground
Uplands are claypan soils with a sandy layer on top under post oak, with a strip of darker Blackland Prairie clay along the north edge of the county and heavy bottomland clays along the Brazos and Navasota rivers, so drainage and base work change a lot from one property to the next.
Homes and lots
Mostly single homes on acreage, older farmhouses, and rural subdivisions, many on septic, with lots far larger than anything in town.
