Backyard Makeover & Complete Yard Reconstruction in Tomball, TX
A large backyard can still feel unusable when low areas hold water, irrigation misses the lawn, the patio feels disconnected and worn grass turns family time into muddy cleanup. PLS Landscaping coordinates grading, drainage, irrigation, hardscape and sod or artificial turf as one residential construction plan. Tomball properties vary in lot size, access, tree cover and finished elevations, so we evaluate the site before recommending the scope. The purpose is practical and personal: a cleaner place for children to play, a comfortable surface for pets and an outdoor area where the family can relax together.
Begin with an onsite construction review
We review grade, runoff, irrigation, access, existing surfaces and how your family wants to use the completed yard.

When the yard creates more work than enjoyment
Surface problems often connect to grade, water and construction below
Replacing grass alone may not correct a settled low area. A new patio can redirect runoff if its elevation is not coordinated with the lawn. Irrigation work completed after hardscape can disturb finished surfaces. Complete reconstruction allows the project to be organized from excavation and underground work through the final family spaces.
Broad wet or uneven areasLow ground stays soft and interrupts play, walking and normal lawn use.
Patio without comfortable accessThe family gathering area does not connect naturally to the home, gate or lawn.
Irrigation that no longer fitsHeads, zones and coverage do not match the proposed lawn, planting and hardscape.
Outdoor space the kids avoidMud, rough transitions or failing lawn make outdoor play less comfortable and cleanup more stressful.
A Tomball backyard construction plan
Coordinate the systems below with the spaces the family will enjoy above
The project may include every component or only those required by the property. Each service is sequenced around access, elevation, drainage and restoration.
Grading and drainage
Correct applicable elevations and install collection or conveyance methods based on water source and a feasible outlet.
Irrigation installation
Build or revise zones, valves, controllers, heads and drip components for the new layout.
Patios and walkways
Create paver, concrete or gravel surfaces that connect seating, gates, lawn and family activity areas.
Soil preparation and sod
Prepare the finished lawn elevation and install a natural grass selection suited to sunlight, use and care expectations.
Artificial turf option
Install turf over an excavated, prepared and compacted base with drainage, edges and hardscape transitions coordinated.
Larger yards require connected planning
Distance changes drainage, irrigation and access
A longer pipe route, larger lawn zone or distant gathering area affects excavation, materials, equipment and testing. PLS evaluates the actual property rather than assuming every Tomball yard uses the same construction method.
Build around family use
Room for play, pets and relaxed weekends
A successful layout may combine an open lawn for children, a defined patio for meals, a cleaner pet area and dependable paths between the home and yard. Surface choices should reflect sunlight, water, use and the family’s maintenance expectations.
Correct order: Drainage and irrigation come before final grading, hardscape transitions, sod and turf finishes.

Common Tomball homeowner questions
Before complete backyard reconstruction
Can grading, drainage and irrigation be completed together?
Yes. Combining applicable underground and elevation work can reduce conflicts and allows final lawn and hardscape surfaces to be installed afterward.
Does every Tomball yard need the same drainage system?
No. The source of water, soil, grade, lot size and available outlet determine whether surface grading, catch basins, solid pipe, French drains or another method applies.
Can the backyard include both sod and artificial turf?
Yes, when each zone has a clear purpose and the transitions, irrigation and drainage are coordinated. Natural sod and artificial turf have different construction and care requirements.
How can the design support children and pets?
The plan can include open play space, cleaner walking routes, appropriate lawn or turf surfaces, secure gate access and comfortable transitions around the patio and home.
Will the irrigation and drainage be tested?
Applicable systems included in the project are tested for visible operation and flow before final review, subject to the installed design and site conditions.
How is the project price determined?
Pricing depends on measured quantities, demolition, access, excavation, disposal, grading, drainage, irrigation, hardscape, sod or turf, equipment and restoration. An onsite estimate is required.
