After we design your landscape with the perfect trees, shrubs, ground covers and flowers to match your design taste and maintenance preferences, we select the healthiest plant material from the finest growers and nurseries in the Metroplex to ensure that your finished landscape is spectacular. We install all of your plant material using the correct root ball depth, perfect soil mixture, and recommended lighting that each plant needs to thrive. Moreover, Backyard Creations, LLC specializes in the installation of plants that are either native or well adapted to our growing region and climate. By using these plants, they are much more likely to maintain optimal long-term health, require less overall maintenance, and become more drought tolerant once established. After your landscape installation, we educate you on the ongoing fertilization, watering, and maintenance needs of your new landscape. Of course you can hire us to maintain it as well.

During the installation process, we go to great lengths on the initial preparation of the garden area. Depending on your native soil and plants selected, we use products such as expanded shale, peat moss, acidic mixes, landscaper mixes and finished organic compost. We will properly blend and grade the beds prior to planting ensuring the best drainage possible. Whether you have anything from black (gumbo) clay to red soil, our soil mixtures and bed preparation work will not only make your plants root in quicker, stay healthier increasing survival rate, but it can help decrease the grass and weeds in the beds as well.

Once your new beds are prepared, we pay very close attention to the proper spacing of the plant material. Through our years of experience and the research of the nurseries and growers which we buy from, we are able to predict the size of the plants at maturity. At Backyard Creations, we avoid the long-term pitfalls of making your landscape look initially full by planting material too close together. This common installation mistake will cause the beds to become over crowded in just a few short years thus increasing the plant's risk of succumbing to diseases and insects, thus causing your landscape to look unattractive, overgrown and higher maintenance.
