Do you design the whole backyard or just plantings?

The whole backyard. A complete backyard design ties together patios, plantings, drainage, lighting, and outdoor living into one cohesive plan, so every element works together instead of being added piecemeal.

Why does a complete landscape cost more in Frisco?

Pricing in Frisco reflects the quality homeowners expect and the engineering North Texas soil demands. Cheaper bids usually skip the base, drainage, or reinforcement that keep the project from failing, which costs far more to fix later.
