Full-scale nursery, on site
A working yard in Graford holding large mature specimens and Texas-tough natives. You walk the rows and tag the tree, and that tree goes in your ground — not a caliper off a broker's list.
Graford, Texas · Ranch & Lake Properties
Ranches and lake homes across Palo Pinto, Young, Stephens and Parker counties. Design, construction, irrigation and stone — installed by the same crew that runs the nursery.
Who we are
Landscape contractor since 2003, focusing on ranches, lake house property, residential and commercial. Onsite nursery — the tree you tag is the tree that goes in your ground, and the crew that drew the plan is the crew that plants it.
A working yard in Graford holding large mature specimens and Texas-tough natives. You walk the rows and tag the tree, and that tree goes in your ground — not a caliper off a broker's list.
Ten trades under one crew — not subcontracted, not handed off. The company that designs your property is the company that builds it, so nothing falls through the gap between two contractors.
What we build
Most of what goes wrong on a large property is a handoff between contractors. We don't have any.
01
Full-property plans for ranch entrances, headquarters and homesites — drawn, staked and planted by the same people.
02
Designed around real well and pressure conditions, not a catalogue. Zoned for how North Texas actually loses water.
03
Grading, French drains and channel work for caliche, clay and the runoff a hard Texas rain delivers all at once.
04
Native stone patios, retaining walls, steps and entry columns built to the grade of the land rather than against it.
05
Sustainable planting for ranch communities — designed to hold up through a Palo Pinto summer without a water bill.
06
Kitchens, fire features and shade structures for lake homes where the outside is the reason you bought it.
07
Low-voltage lighting for drives, entrances and specimen trees — placed after dark, where it is judged.
08
Boulder waterfalls, ponds and pondless spillways — built so the rock reads natural and the water stays clear without a chemical habit.
09
Shade and specimen trees stocked and held at our own nursery, so what you choose is the tree that arrives.
10
For the places grass will never hold — slopes, shade, dog runs and high-traffic lake-house lawns.
How it goes
Not a price sheet over the phone. We walk it with you, in the afternoon, and look at where the water goes before we look at anything decorative.
Grade, drainage and irrigation are solved on paper first, because every one of them is buried under whatever gets built on top.
Walk the rows at the Graford yard and mark the trees. That specific tree is the one that arrives — not a caliper and a species off a broker's list.
The people who drew it install it, and the lighting gets aimed after dark because that is the only hour it can be judged.

The difference
Large, mature specimen trees held on the yard in Graford, and Texas-tough natives that establish easily and stay low-maintenance once they take. You walk the rows and tag the tree. It goes in the ground the way you saw it.
Where we work
