Basic lawn maintenance runs $100-$250/month. Landscape design and installation varies widely: basic plantings $1,000-$5,000, full landscape renovation $5,000-$15,000+, and hardscaping (patios, retaining walls) $2,000-$10,000+. Get detailed quotes specifying plants, materials, and labor.

Hire professionals for: irrigation installation, large tree planting, retaining walls, drainage solutions, or designs requiring permits. DIY is fine for small plantings, basic maintenance, and simple mulching. Poor drainage or grading can cause foundation problems—get expert help for these issues.

Texas-adapted plants include: native grasses, lantana, sage, yucca, agave, and drought-tolerant shrubs. Ask landscapers about xeriscaping to reduce water usage. Proper plant selection and mulching can cut irrigation needs by 50%+ compared to traditional lawns.

Water deeply but infrequently (1-1.5 inches weekly), mow high (3-4 inches for St. Augustine), and water early morning to reduce evaporation. Summer dormancy is normal for some grasses—don't overwater trying to keep them green. Consider warm-season grasses like Bermuda or Zoysia.
