Landscaping design and maintenance for apartment communities in Houston. Drought-tolerant plants, irrigation, hardscaping, and curb appeal.
Landscaping is the first thing visitors see and one of the most cost-effective ways to improve curb appeal. In Houston's climate, smart landscaping choices reduce water costs and maintenance while maximizing visual impact.
Choose plants rated for USDA Zone 9a: Live oaks, crape myrtles, Texas sage, lantana, Gulf muhly grass, and agapanthus. Native and adapted plants thrive without excessive irrigation or maintenance, reducing long-term costs 30-50% versus non-native landscapes.
Smart irrigation with weather-based controllers ($3,000-$10,000) reduces water usage 30-50% compared to timer-based systems. Drip irrigation for beds, rotary heads for turf. Include rain sensors and master shut-off valves.
Pavers, decorative concrete, stone borders, and retaining walls add structure and reduce maintenance areas. Hardscaping creates defined outdoor living spaces, dog areas, and gathering spots without ongoing plant maintenance.
Rotating seasonal flowers at entries and high-visibility areas ($2,000-$5,000 per cycle) creates a maintained, cared-for impression. Focus on property entrances, leasing office, and main walkways.
Houston's clay soils and storm risk require active tree management. Annual inspections, deadwood removal, and strategic trimming reduce storm damage risk and liability. Budget $3,000-$10,000 annually depending on tree count.
