Plano landscaping lives and dies by water. Collin County-area watering restrictions are common in summer, so drought-tolerant natives (Texas sage, lantana, buffalo grass) and efficient irrigation pay off. Sprinkler and irrigation work requires a TCEQ-Licensed Irrigator — verify that license before hiring.
Spring (March–May) brings Plano's hail and the busiest contractor backlog — schedule ahead when you can.
