Find a landscaper in Texas
From xeriscape designs in El Paso to St. Augustine sod in Houston, Texas landscaping is about surviving heat and water limits. Get matched with a local, insured landscaper who covers your ZIP — and a TCEQ-licensed irrigator for any sprinkler work.
Texas landscaping and lawn contractors — drought-tolerant design, sod, irrigation, tree work, and full yard installs.
Handyman work covers the smaller repairs that do not always need a specialty trade: drywall patches, door adjustments, trim, fixtures, fence sections, weatherstripping, and general punch lists.
Use this page when the project is practical and specific, but not clearly plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or roofing. If the request touches licensed work, it should be routed to the proper trade.

FAQ
Does irrigation work require a license in Texas?
Yes — installing or repairing a sprinkler/irrigation system in Texas requires a TCEQ Licensed Irrigator. General landscaping, mowing, planting, and hardscape do not require a state license. Verify the irrigator's credential before hiring; CallerSync does not currently verify it.
What's the best landscaping for Texas heat and water limits?
Native and drought-tolerant (xeriscape) design — native grasses, adapted shrubs, mulch, and efficient drip irrigation. It survives August, handles watering restrictions, and cuts your water bill. A good Texas landscaper designs around your specific sun and soil.
How much does landscaping cost in Texas?
Routine lawn maintenance runs about $50–$100 per visit. A full front-yard refresh (beds, plants, mulch, stone) often runs $3,000–$8,000; a complete design-build with irrigation and hardscape can reach $15,000+. Get a written scope and plant list.
