NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME LANDSCAPING IN CYPRESS, TX
A new house is not a finished property until the exterior systems work together. PLS Landscaping builds complete residential landscapes around the grade, drainage paths, irrigation coverage, access points and planned use of the yard. We coordinate sod or artificial turf, planting, trees, borders, pavers, gravel and concrete with the structural work below the surface. The result is an exterior that your family, friends, kids and pets can enjoy without sacrificing drainage performance or the long-term investment in your Cypress home.

Builder finish grades, compacted construction soil and incomplete drainage routes can create low spots, poor plant establishment and water movement toward the house. Landscape construction should begin with the property elevations and finish with coordinated systems.
Unfinished Grade
Bare soil may be uneven, excessively compacted or too high near the foundation, patios and gates.
Uncontrolled Runoff
Roof water, neighboring flow and hard surfaces need defined collection and discharge paths before lawn installation.
Missing Infrastructure
Irrigation sleeves, zones, drainage lines and lighting conduits are easier to coordinate before finished surfaces are installed.
Disconnected Features
Walkways, patios, beds and lawn areas require compatible elevations, stable bases and practical transitions.
BUILD EACH SYSTEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER
The sequence protects completed work and reduces the chance that a later trade must reopen finished lawn, pavers or planting areas.
Exterior systems we construct
FROM BARE LOT CONDITIONS TO A COMPLETE RESIDENTIAL EXTERIOR
The final scope can be phased or completed as one coordinated project. Recommendations depend on the site, construction stage, homeowner priorities and future plans for a pool, patio, outdoor structure or play area.
Grade and Drainage
Elevation correction, surface flow, catch basins, downspout connections and solid-pipe conveyance where appropriate.
Irrigation
New zones, valves, heads, drip irrigation, controller installation and coverage matched to lawn and planting areas.
Lawn and Soil
Soil preparation, final hand grading, sod installation or artificial turf systems built over a prepared base.
Hardscape
Paver patios, walkways, gravel areas, concrete work, landscape borders and retaining construction as required.
Trees and Planting
Planting plans coordinated with mature size, irrigation, sunlight, drainage and usable lawn space.
Lighting and Fencing
Low-voltage lighting, gates and wood fencing integrated with access, circulation and the overall site plan.
THE FINISHED LANDSCAPE DEPENDS ON THE WORK BELOW IT
These photographs show the progression from unfinished or compacted ground through grading and base preparation to a completed exterior. Proper elevations, drainage and subsurface infrastructure support every visible finish.
DESIGN THE YARD AROUND HOW THE PROPERTY MUST FUNCTION
Newer Cypress homes often require decisions about roof runoff, narrow side-yard access, builder soil compaction, irrigation coverage and future outdoor improvements. Planning those conditions together helps protect finished work and avoids installing lawn or beds where later excavation is expected.
PLS Landscaping has served Houston-area homeowners since 2011. We focus on residential outdoor construction and explain which systems should be completed first, which can be phased and how each portion connects to the home.

NEW CONSTRUCTION LANDSCAPING FAQ
When should landscape planning begin?
Planning can begin before closing or while exterior construction is being completed. Installation timing depends on builder access, final elevations, utilities and remaining trade work.
Should drainage be installed before sod?
Yes, when drainage is needed. Collection boxes, downspout lines and underground conveyance should generally be completed before final soil preparation and sod installation.
Can the exterior project be completed in phases?
Yes. The phases should follow a logical sequence so future excavation does not damage completed hardscape, irrigation, lawn or planting areas.
Do builder grades always need correction?
Not always. We review actual elevations, foundation clearance, low areas and runoff routes before recommending fill, removal or grading work.
Can you prepare for a future pool or patio?
Yes. Future access and construction areas can influence irrigation routing, drainage placement, planting locations and where permanent finishes should be installed.
What should be ready for the site review?
Provide the property address, survey when available, HOA requirements, builder plans and a list of the exterior features you are considering.
