Landscaping For Near Northside’s Old and New Homes
Near Northside is one of Houston’s oldest working-class neighborhoods, settled in the early 1900s and sitting just north of downtown. White Oak Bayou and Little White Oak Bayou run along its edges, and lots within a couple of blocks of the bayou can fall in the FEMA floodplain. Add heavy clay soil and flat ground, and drainage is the first thing we look at on many properties. We also plant, fence, and design for both the old cottages and the new townhomes going up here.
Full-Service Landscaping in Near Northside
Does my Near Northside yard flood because of White Oak Bayou?
It can. White Oak Bayou and Little White Oak Bayou run along the edges of Near Northside, and lots within a couple of blocks of the bayou can sit in the FEMA floodplain. Heavy clay soil and flat ground make low spots pond after storms. We fix it with regrading, French drains, and catch basins that route water off your property.
Can you landscape a new-construction townhome lot in Near Northside?
Yes. A lot of Near Northside is filling in with new townhomes on tight slab lots. We design small, low-maintenance yards, install sod and beds, add fencing, and make sure water sheds off the slab and away from the foundation. It is a good time to plan drainage before the landscaping goes in.
Do you install fences in Near Northside?
Yes. We build wood, iron, and privacy fences for older cottages, corner lots, and new-build townhomes. On tight infill lots a good fence sets the line between properties and adds privacy. We set posts to handle the clay soil so the fence stays straight over time.

Craftsmanship, Quality & Personalized Service
Near Northside has changed fast, but a lot of its early-1900s homes are still standing. We have spent more than 20 years working across Houston, so we know how the clay holds water, how close the bayou runs, and how to landscape both a restored bungalow and a new-build townhome. We show up, do clean work, and stand behind it.
How much does landscaping cost in Near Northside?
It depends on the scope. Near Northside runs the full range, from a simple front-yard cleanup on an older cottage to a full design on a custom new build. We give a written estimate after we walk your property, and the quote form has budget ranges so we can plan to what works for you.
Do you handle drainage on new townhome slabs?
Yes. New slab-on-grade townhomes shed water fast, and on a tight lot that runoff has to go somewhere. We tie downspouts into buried lines, add French drains where needed, and grade the yard so water leaves the foundation instead of pooling against it.
Can you put in sod and a new front lawn?
Yes. We prep the soil, level the grade, and lay fresh sod so your lawn takes hold instead of struggling in bare clay. We can add an irrigation zone and flower beds at the same time so the whole front yard comes together and holds up through Houston summers.
Lindale Park
A deed-restricted subdivision laid out in 1937, known for its oaks, magnolias, and cottage-style homes. An active civic club keeps up the restrictions, so we match our work to the neighborhood’s standards.
Northside Village
The historic core just north of downtown, where early-1900s bungalows sit next to new infill. We handle front-yard planting, fencing, and drainage on both the old and the new lots.
Moody Park Area
The family blocks around Moody Park, a City of Houston park since 1925. Older cottages here need honest, budget-friendly front yards, sod, and cleanup, which is a lot of what we do.
Fulton Street Corridor
The neighborhood’s Latino main street, lined with older homes and new townhomes near the Metro Red Line. We plant, fence, and grade lots on both sides of the tracks.
Landscaping Built For Near Northside Conditions
White Oak Bayou Drainage & Grading
White Oak Bayou and Little White Oak Bayou run near the neighborhood, and low lots pond after storms. We install French drains and catch basins, then regrade so runoff leaves your yard and foundation.
Older Bungalow Front Yards
The early-1900s cottages here have small, simple front yards. We freshen them with new sod, clean bed lines, and hardy plants that hold up in clay soil and Houston heat without a big budget.
New-Construction Townhome Landscaping
New townhomes are going up all over Near Northside. We design low-maintenance yards for tight slab lots, add turf, planters, and lighting, and set up drainage so the small spaces still drain right.
Fencing for Corner and Infill Lots
Corner lots and packed infill blocks need good fences for privacy and property lines. We build wood, iron, and privacy fences with posts set to stay straight in the shifting clay soil.
Landscaping That Works For Every Near Northside Budget
Near Northside is changing block by block. Some homeowners want a simple, affordable front yard on a cottage that has been in the family for years. Others are landscaping a brand-new custom home for the first time. We do both, and we start with drainage on the lots that sit low near the bayou.
Budget-Friendly Front Yards
Sod, fresh beds, and a cleanup can transform an older cottage front yard without a big spend. We scope the work to your budget.
Full New-Build Design
For custom new construction, we plan the whole yard: design, planting, hardscape, fencing, irrigation, and lighting on the fresh lot.
Drainage First Near the Bayou
On low lots near White Oak Bayou, we grade and drain before planting so water leaves the property instead of sitting in the beds.
