Professional Landscaping Services in Roanoke, TX

Ellis Landscape Services provides custom landscape design and installation, outdoor living and hardscaping, irrigation and drainage, landscape lighting, water features, and year-round maintenance for homes and businesses across Roanoke, TX. Locally owned and licensed since 2011, we build outdoor spaces designed for the clay soil, heat, and fast-growing new-construction neighborhoods that define Roanoke.

Known as the Unique Dining Capital of Texas, Roanoke is one of the fastest-growing communities in southwestern Denton County, where new master-planned neighborhoods like Fairway Ranch sit minutes from Texas Motor Speedway and the Alliance corridor. Many homes here are newer builds that came with basic builder-grade landscaping — a blank slate that needs proper design, drainage, and planting to become a finished outdoor space. That is exactly the work we do.

Landscaping Challenges Unique to Roanoke

Roanoke's rapid growth means most properties fall into one of two camps: brand-new homes with bare, builder-grade yards, or established lots that need a refresh. Both sit on the same heavy North Texas clay, and both benefit from a plan built around local conditions rather than a generic package. Here is what we account for on every Roanoke project.

New-Construction and Builder-Grade Yards

Production builders in communities like Fairway Ranch typically finish a home with minimal sod, a few starter shrubs, and a basic sprinkler system. It looks fine on move-in day and thin within a year. We turn that blank slate into a finished landscape — design, bed layout, tree and plant installation, and irrigation adjustments — so your yard matches the home you bought.

Clay Soil and Drainage on New Lots

Newly graded lots often drain toward the house or pool in low spots once the fresh sod settles. On Roanoke's expansive clay, that means standing water and stressed plants after every storm. As TCEQ Licensed Irrigators, we correct grading, install French drains, and route downspouts so water moves away from your foundation and beds stay healthy year-round.

HOA and Master-Planned Community Standards

Many Roanoke neighborhoods are master-planned with HOA guidelines covering approved plants, lawn appearance, and hardscape materials. We design and maintain landscapes that clear those standards the first time, so you get the curb appeal your community expects without the approval headaches or violation notices.

Heat, Drought, and Watering Restrictions

Roanoke summers push well into triple digits, and watering restrictions limit when your irrigation can run. We plan for it with drought-adapted and native plantings like Texas sage, lantana, salvia, and ornamental grasses, paired with efficient irrigation and smart controllers that keep your landscape alive and compliant without wasting water.

Year-Round Landscape Care

A Roanoke landscape needs different attention each season: pre-emergent weed control and irrigation start-up in spring, deep watering and mowing-height adjustments through the summer heat, leaf cleanup and fall fertilization, and dormant pruning and drainage checks in winter. We build a schedule around your property so it looks its best all twelve months.
