Why Backyard Boys
Built by athletes. Backed by hustle.
Built for North Texas conditions
We plant species that can survive Tarrant County summers: drought-tolerant, heat-hardy selections that don't require constant replacement.
Design with function in mind
We think about drainage, sun exposure, and long-term maintenance before recommending a single plant.
Crew-installed, not sub-contracted
Every landscape project is handled by our own crew, not handed off to a third party. You get the same quality control on installation day as you do on mowing day.

How Landscaping works.

Walk the site to assess sun exposure, drainage patterns, soil condition, and existing plants.
- 2
Recommend a plant plan tailored to your lot, HOA requirements, and irrigation setup.
- 3
Source plants from reputable local nurseries after the plan and pricing are approved.
- 4
Prepare bed edges and soil before any planting begins.
- 5
Install trees, shrubs, and perennials at the correct depth and spacing for each species.
- 6
Apply mulch around new plantings and blow all hard surfaces clean before leaving.
Pricing
What determines your price.
Landscape project pricing depends on the number of plants, selected species, bed square footage, soil preparation requirements, and whether mulch and edging are included. We provide written estimates after a site walk — no quote is given before we see the property.

What this means for your property.
Landscaping in DFW requires plant selection suited to two competing conditions: summer heat that routinely exceeds 100°F and the heavy clay soils found across Tarrant County. Plants that thrive in other Texas regions often struggle here without soil amendment. We select species with established North Texas track records: drought-tolerant natives, proven ornamentals, and cultivars that handle the clay drainage profile common in Southlake, Grapevine, and Keller neighborhoods. Every planting decision accounts for USDA hardiness zone 8a, typical freeze windows between November and March, and the irrigation constraints many cities impose during drought.
Landscaping: Common Questions
Answers to what homeowners in Southlake and Northeast Tarrant County ask most.
Drought-tolerant native and adapted species perform best in Tarrant County's clay soils and summer heat. Reliable choices include Texas sage, Indian hawthorn, dwarf yaupon holly, ornamental grasses like muhly and inland sea oats, and perennials such as black-eyed Susan and salvia. We select based on your specific sun exposure, irrigation availability, and HOA requirements.
Fall planting (October through November) is ideal for most trees and shrubs in North Texas. Cooler temperatures reduce transplant stress and allow root establishment before summer heat. Spring planting (late February through April) works well for warm-season plants. We avoid planting during peak summer heat when possible.
Yes, we do both. The process starts with a site walk to understand sun patterns, drainage, existing plants, and your goals. We then recommend a planting plan before ordering materials. Installation follows after you approve the plan and pricing.
Most residential landscape installs are completed in one to two days depending on scope. A full front-yard re-bed with new plantings, edging, and mulch typically takes one full crew day. Larger projects run longer and are quoted with a specific timeline.
Yes. Many neighborhoods in Southlake, Westlake, and Colleyville have HOA guidelines covering approved plant species, bed dimensions, and materials. We ask about HOA requirements before quoting and confirm selections comply before ordering. Bring your HOA architectural guidelines to the consultation and we'll work within them.
We handle both. We source plants from reputable local nurseries after the plan is approved, and materials are included in the project quote. If you have specific plants you have already purchased or prefer a particular nursery, let us know. In most cases it is simpler for us to source everything so we can stand behind the quality of what goes in the ground.
