Send us the plans. We will bid the whole outdoor scope.

Irrigation, landscape and hardscape are usually split across three subs, three schedules and three sets of excuses about who was supposed to set the grade. We bid and self-perform all three, which is why the punch list at the end tends to be shorter.

We work commercial sites and residential community developments across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex — entries and medians, amenity centres, detention basins, common areas, model home parks, office and retail sites, and phased build-outs where the landscape scope stretches across years rather than weeks.

Irrigation is performed under our own TCEQ licence, in house. That is the piece most contractors are quietly subbing out, and it is the piece that gets a project red-tagged at inspection if it is done wrong.

Scope we bid

Irrigation, landscape and hardscape

Take the full package or the divisions you need us for. We are happy to bid a single scope on a project where the rest is already let.

Irrigation systems

Design-build or plan-and-spec. Mainline, point of connection, backflow assemblies, master valves, flow sensing and central control. Permitted and inspected where the city requires it, under our own licence.

Landscape installation

Trees, shrubs, ornamental beds, groundcover and seasonal colour, installed to plan and to spec, with the plant material sourced to the sizes actually called for.

Hardscape

Retaining and seat walls, paver and stone flatwork, boulder work, decomposed granite paths, steel and concrete edging, and the grading that has to be right underneath all of it.

Sod and hydromulch

Turf establishment across large areas — sod, hydromulch and seeding — scheduled against irrigation start-up rather than ahead of it.

Drainage and erosion

Area drains, French drains, swales, inlets and erosion control sized for how North Texas clay actually sheds a storm, not for how the plan assumed it would.

Establishment and turnover

Watering, mowing and warranty replacement through the establishment period, and a clean handover to whoever maintains it afterwards — including us, if the owner wants it.

Community development

The parts of a community people judge it by

On a residential development, the landscape scope is the marketing. Buyers form an opinion at the entry monument and the amenity centre long before they walk a house.

Entry monuments, feature walls and monument landscaping
Medians, parkways and right-of-way plantings
Amenity centres, pools and gathering areas
Detention and retention basins, and the slopes around them
Trail corridors, open space and greenbelt
Model home parks and sales-office frontage
Phased common-area build-out across multiple sections

Because we also hold grounds maintenance contracts, we build these knowing who has to mow around them in three years. It is a useful discipline — it keeps designs out of the ground that look good on a plan and are impossible to maintain.

How we bid and run work

What to expect from us as a sub

1Send plans and specs

Civil, landscape and irrigation sheets, plus the spec sections and the schedule. PDF is fine. Tell us the bid date and whether you want the scopes priced separately.

2Line-item bid

You get the scope broken out — irrigation, landscape, hardscape, sod, drainage — with exclusions stated plainly rather than buried. If something on the plan will not work, we tell you at bid time, not at rough-in.

3Submittals and permits

Product data, plant material sources and irrigation submittals turned around promptly. Where the city permits and inspects irrigation, we pull it and see it closed.

4Scheduled against your trades

Sleeving before paving, mainline before final grade, sod after irrigation start-up. Landscape is last on the site and takes the schedule compression — we plan for that rather than complain about it.

5Walk and punch

We walk the site with you before you walk it with the owner. Coverage tested zone by zone, plant material checked against the schedule, hardscape inspected.

6Warranty and establishment

Plant warranty and irrigation warranty per the spec, with a real service channel behind it rather than a phone number that stops being answered after final payment.

An option worth putting in front of the owner.

We can hand a project over with its irrigation controllers on our remote water management system. The owner or the HOA gets weather-based scheduling, leak alerts and remote adjustment from day one — which means the water bill starts low instead of being discovered to be high a year later. It is a straightforward line item at bid time and a much harder sell after turnover. More on how that works →

FAQs

Contractor questions

What do you need to put a number together?

Landscape, irrigation and civil sheets, the relevant spec sections, the bid date and the anticipated schedule. If there is a geotech or a grading plan that affects drainage, send that too — it usually changes our number.

Do you self-perform, or will we be managing your subs?

We self-perform irrigation, landscape and sod with our own crews. That is the point of using us for the whole outdoor scope. On specialist hardscape items we will tell you plainly at bid time if any part is being subbed.

Is the irrigation work licensed?

Yes. Texas requires a TCEQ licence to sell, design, install, alter, repair or service an irrigation system, and ours is held in house — TCEQ Licensed Irrigator LI5654. Ask every irrigation bidder for their licence number; it is the cheapest quality control available on this trade.

Can you bid a single division?

Yes. Plenty of our commercial work is irrigation only, or hardscape only, on projects where the rest was let elsewhere.

What about bonding and insurance requirements?

Tell us the requirements with the bid documents and we will address them directly rather than leave you to find out late.

Do you take on the maintenance after turnover?

Often, yes — and it makes us a better installer, because we are the ones who have to live with the decisions. See grounds maintenance.

How far do you travel for commercial work?

Our core is {COUNTIES_PHRASE}, and commercial and development contracts take us further across the Metroplex. Ask.
