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.
COLLEGE STATION, TX
Backyard Transformations in College Station: what’s different here.
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. 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.
Outdoor Living in College Station
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.
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.
