Your Property Becomes More Usable Outside

Landscape design and installation built for homes in Longview, Texas.

Your yard in Longview either works for how you live or it stays empty most of the year. Custom landscape design starts with how you use your property, then selects plants, trees, and shrubs that hold up under local conditions without constant replacement or watering adjustments.

Covington Hardscape prepares beds to proper depth, arranges plants by sun exposure and drainage needs, and applies mulch that stays in place through Texas storms. You get a layout that makes sense for foot traffic, seating areas, and property lines, with plants chosen for long-term survival rather than short-term color.

If your Longview property needs a new landscape or an upgrade to what is already there, reach out to talk through what fits your space.

What the Work Includes and How It Fits Together

The process starts with a site evaluation in Longview to identify drainage patterns, soil type, and sun coverage throughout the day. Covington Hardscape then builds a layout that places trees where roots will not interfere with structures, groups shrubs by water needs, and positions flower beds where they receive appropriate light.

After installation, you will notice defined edges where beds meet turf, consistent mulch depth that reduces weed pressure, and plants that do not lean or sink because they were set at the correct grade. The layout directs movement through the yard without forcing narrow paths or dead-end walkways.

Materials include native and adapted species selected for durability, amended soil where existing ground does not drain properly, and mulch that breaks down slowly. The service does not include irrigation system installation, though plant selection accounts for your current watering setup and any plans to add coverage later.

Questions People Ask Before Moving Forward

Homeowners in Longview usually want to know how plant choices hold up, how long installation takes, and what happens if something does not survive the first season.

How do you choose which plants to include?
Covington Hardscape selects plants based on your property's sun exposure, soil drainage, and typical maintenance level. You receive species that survive Texas heat and occasional cold snaps without requiring weekly attention.
What does bed preparation involve?
Beds are cleared of existing grass and weeds, then excavated to a depth that allows for amended soil and proper mulch coverage. This prevents settling and keeps plants at the correct grade relative to surrounding turf.
How long does a full landscape installation take?
Most residential projects in Longview take between three and seven days depending on property size and the number of plants installed. Larger properties with multiple bed areas and tree placements require additional time.
What happens if a plant does not survive?
Covington Hardscape discusses survival expectations during planning and provides guidance on watering and mulch maintenance. If a plant fails due to installation error, it is addressed directly.
Can you work around existing features?
Yes, the design incorporates existing trees, hardscapes, and structures, adjusting plant placement and bed shapes to work with what is already on your property. You do not need to remove functional elements to add new landscaping.

If your Longview property needs a landscape that fits how you use the space and survives local conditions, Covington Hardscape can walk the property and talk through what makes sense for your goals and budget.
