Overview
For this home in Magnolia, TX, we rebuilt the front yard from the ground up: a clean lawn, stone-edged beds, layered plantings, and a tidy approach to the front door. The design frames the house, improves sightlines, and reduces weekly maintenance.
Challenges
- Patchy turf and compacted soil
- Overgrown or mismatched shrubs hiding windows and trim
- Bed edges bleeding into the lawn; mulch washing after rain
- Entry lacked a clear, welcoming feel
Our Solution
- Grading & Soil Prep: Corrected low spots and amended soils where needed for healthy rooting
- Defined Bed Geometry: Installed natural stone/steel edging to hold mulch and create crisp curves
- Layered Plant Palette: Foundation evergreens for structure, flowering accents for seasonal color, and groundcovers for neat edges
- Entry Emphasis: Clean approach with either a refreshed walk or edging/mulch treatment to guide visitors
- New Sod: Region-appropriate turf installed on a leveled, prepped base
- Clean Finish: Premium mulch, hand-cut edges, tidy transitions to hardscape and turf
Materials
Region-appropriate sod • Natural stone or steel edging • Premium mulch • Foundation shrubs • Accent perennials/ornamentals • Soil amendments
Results
- Strong curb appeal that complements the home’s architecture
- Lower maintenance: edges hold, plants sized for the space, lawn drains and mows cleanly
- Clear views to windows and entry for a bright, welcoming façade
Maintenance Tips
- Water new sod deeply for 2–3 weeks, then shift to a regular schedule
- Maintain mulch at 2–3″ and keep edging visible
- Light seasonal pruning to preserve plant shape and window clearance
