Houston neighborhood
Landscape designer in Spring Branch
Mid-century ranch lots ready for a second life.
Spring Branch sits north of I-10 and west of 610, with many ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s alongside newer townhomes and rebuilds. Lots are often generous, but the yards have settled over decades and drain poorly.
A renovation here usually starts by regrading the yard and replacing old flatwork, then adding the patio, shade and planting the original builder never included.
What we plan for in Spring Branch
- 1
Settled grades
Decades of settling leave low spots against the slab and along fences. Regrading and drain lines come first so new hardscape doesn't trap water.
- 2
Old driveways and walks
Original concrete is often cracked and heaved by clay soil. Replacing it is a chance to fix slope and add drainage at the same time.
- 3
Room to grow
Larger lots can fit a full outdoor living area. A master plan lets you build it in phases without redoing earlier work.

FAQ
Spring Branch questions most often.
Should I fix drainage before redoing my backyard?
Yes. New patios and beds built on a yard that doesn't drain fail early. Drainage is assessed on every TUE project before surface work is designed.
Can a renovation be done in phases?
Yes. A master plan sets the grades, drainage and utilities first, so later phases like a pergola or outdoor kitchen slot in without tearing anything out.
Do you charge for the on-site consultation?
The discovery call is free. The on-site consultation has a $150 work scope fee, credited to your project if you move forward.
Who designs and who builds?
The same team does both. A Home Scout walks the property, the design is drawn in CAD with optional 3D renderings, and our crews build it. No subcontractor hand-offs.
