Our team implements sustainable practices that reduce water consumption while maintaining visual impact, serving both new construction and property enhancement projects.
Irrigation Systems
We design and install efficient irrigation systems tailored to Houston's climate conditions. Our solutions include smart controllers, drip irrigation, and rainwater collection systems that optimize water usage. Each system undergoes pressure testing and flow analysis to ensure proper functionality while meeting local conservation requirements, helping clients maintain healthy landscapes with reduced water waste.
Landscape Lighting
Our landscape lighting solutions enhance both aesthetics and security through strategic fixture placement. We use energy-efficient LED technology with customizable control systems for residential and commercial properties. Installations include pathway lighting, accent lighting for architectural features, and security-focused illumination that maintains property safety without compromising design integrity.

Report
I received a reference to Steve and the SWPL team to fix some serious grading issues in our backyard. He was very professional when coming out, taking detailed measurements for a clear proposal, and his team was on time and thorough in their work. They received some low quality sod from their supplier, and rather than install it and tell me it'll look better, he had that sod sent back and ordered in better looking sod - it meant a lot that they were on top of the quality of services being provided and put me first rather than any inconvenience it may have been for his team.
His team also had to fix some issues with mulch/soil being far too high against our foundation, and did a great job getting that replaced with gravel along the foundation. I would highly recommend these folks.

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Don't use this company. They are unprofessional and have the WORST crew members. Very bad attitude and clearly are unhappy. Look elsewhere for your landscaping needs.

Critical: Professionalism This is the worst place! One of the drivers hit my car and ran. I called the owner Jim Curtice and he basically told me that his driver admitted. But the company doesn't want to accept liability.
