Landscape Design
Landscape Design That Fits Your East Texas Property
Landscape design plans built around East Texas soil, sun, and seasons, backed by a free consultation before any work begins.
What Landscape Design Includes and When You Need It
Landscape design is the planning stage that comes before any digging, planting, or hardscaping begins. It's where we map out plant placement, drainage flow, walkways, lighting, and hardscape features so the finished property functions well and looks intentional, not thrown together.
Squatch Co.'s landscape designers build practical, good-looking outdoor spaces for homeowners, builders, and commercial property owners throughout the Lufkin area, using plans that work with East Texas soil, sunlight, and seasons instead of against them.
You need a landscape design plan any time you're starting fresh on a new build, renovating tired or overgrown beds, or trying to solve a recurring problem like standing water or bare patches that never seem to fill in. A solid design also matters before adding patios, retaining walls, or walkways, since those features need to work with the grading and drainage already on your lot.
Our landscape designers spend time walking the property, checking sun exposure, soil drainage, and existing vegetation before drawing anything up. That groundwork is what separates a design that lasts from one that needs redoing in two years.
Why Choose Us
Why a Real Design Plan Makes a Difference
A landscaping project without a design plan often ends up costing more in the long run. Plants get placed in the wrong spots, drainage gets overlooked, and hardscaping features end up fighting the natural slope of the yard instead of working with it.
Working with professional landscapers on a real design plan gives you:
- A layout that accounts for East Texas heat, humidity, and clay-heavy soil
- Plant and tree placement based on actual sun and drainage patterns, not guesswork
- A clear plan for tying together lawn areas, beds, walkways, and hardscaping
- Fewer surprises and change orders once landscape installation begins
- A property that holds its value and curb appeal for years, not just one season
- A phased plan if you want to spread commercial landscaping or residential landscaping work out over time

Homeowners and commercial property owners across Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Diboll, and the surrounding area trust us because we treat design as the foundation of a good landscaping project, not an afterthought.
Local Knowledge That Shows in the Design
We know how East Texas clay soil drains, which plants hold up to Deep East Texas summers, and how pine trees and native vegetation factor into a design. That knowledge shapes every plan we draw up.

You won't need to hire a separate designer and a separate landscaping contractor. Our team handles the plan and the labor, so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the dirt.
Straightforward Pricing, No Pressure
Our free landscaping estimate spells out costs upfront. We'll tell you honestly if a feature isn't worth the investment for your property instead of upselling you on something you don't need.

Common Questions
Landscape Design Questions From Lufkin Property Owners
How much does landscape design cost?
Cost depends on the size of your property and the scope of the plan, from a simple bed redesign to a full residential or commercial landscaping layout. That's why we start with a free landscape design consultation and a detailed estimate before any work begins, so you know the investment upfront.
Do you handle both the design and the landscape installation?
Yes. Our team designs the plan and carries out the installation, including grading, planting, sod, mulch, and any hardscaping features. You work with one landscaping company from the first sketch through the final walkthrough.
What should I expect during the free landscaping estimate visit?
Our landscape designers will walk your property, ask about your goals, and check things like sun exposure, drainage, and soil condition. Afterward, you'll receive a written plan and estimate with no obligation to move forward.
Can landscape design help fix drainage problems in my yard?
Often, yes. Many drainage issues come from poor grading or plant placement that blocks natural water flow. Our designers factor drainage into every plan and can pair the design with drainage solutions, French drain installation, or erosion control if your property needs it.
