Landscaping & Outdoor Living Services in Tarrant County

The Best Landscaping & Outdoor Living Services in Tarrant County

Ellis Landscape Services offers a full spectrum of landscaping solutions for homeowners and businesses throughout Tarrant County. From front yard refreshes that elevate curb appeal to comprehensive backyard transformations, our team handles design, preparation, installation, and finishing with equal care. Every project is planned around North Texas weather and soil, using regionally appropriate plants, durable hardscape materials, and efficient irrigation practices so your landscape looks great from day one and continues to perform season after season.

Our approach is straightforward and detail driven. We begin with a thorough site walk to understand how you want to use the space, study sun and shade patterns, and evaluate drainage and grade. Based on those findings, we recommend plant palettes, hardscape finishes, and lighting that complement your home and suit your maintenance preferences. Crews arrive prepared, keep the jobsite tidy, and build to manufacturer specifications, which protects warranties and ensures long-term reliability. You can expect clear communication, accurate timelines, and workmanship that stands up to daily use as well as the brutal Texas heat and storms.

Whether you are seeking a simple flower bed refresh, a new patio with shade and seating, or a cohesive outdoor living area that ties your property together, our experienced team delivers consistent quality and measurable value. We proudly serve neighborhoods and business districts across Tarrant County and provide tailored landscape enhancements for surrounding areas like Westlake, aligning each project with local styles, HOA guidelines, and site conditions.

Comprehensive Landscaping Services in Tarrant County

Landscape Design & Installation

• Custom Landscape Design Tailored to Your Property — We start with a site walk to understand how you use your yard, then create a design that fits your architecture, layout, and budget. Plans account for sun and shade patterns, views from inside the home, traffic flow, and HOA guidelines so everything feels intentional and cohesive.

• Professional Plant and Material Selection — Our team recommends plant palettes that thrive in North Texas, along with complementary mulch, stone, and edging. We help you choose textures and colors that look good year round, and specify hardscape materials that balance appearance with durability.
• Native and Low-Maintenance Options Available — Prefer a water-wise landscape? We offer native and adaptive plants, drip irrigation, and soil improvement strategies that reduce watering and upkeep while still delivering seasonal interest.
• What the Installation Includes — Grading and soil preparation, bed layout and edging, sod or seed, shrubs and trees set at proper depth, and clean, accurate irrigation tie-ins where needed. We finish with a tidy cleanup and provide a care guide so your new landscape establishes quickly.

Whether you only need a few shrubs and flowers planted or want a full design and build from scratch, we can scale to your goals. Explore our approach to landscape design and outdoor living for more ideas.

Outdoor Living Spaces

• Custom Patios, Pergolas, and Outdoor Kitchens — Add usable square footage outdoors with patios sized for dining and lounging, shade structures that make summer comfortable, and cooking spaces with counters, storage, and appliance cutouts.
• Fire Pits and Fireplaces for Cozy Outdoor Entertaining — Extend the season with gas or wood-burning features, built to current safety standards and positioned for comfort, views, and wind considerations.
• Hardscaping Including Walkways and Retaining Walls — Define movement and solve grade changes with walkways, steps, and retaining walls engineered for stability. We match finishes to your home for a seamless look.
• Thoughtful Details That Make the Difference — Conduit runs for future lighting, gas, or audio; proper base preparation for long-term stability; and drainage solutions that move water away from structures and planting beds.

From a simple patio to a complete outdoor living area with seating, shade, and a cooking zone, Ellis Landscape Services designs and builds spaces that look great today and hold up to Tarrant County weather for years to come.

Irrigation Systems

• Smart Irrigation Installation and Repairs — We design and install efficient sprinkler systems that match plant needs and site conditions. Zones are balanced for sun, shade, and slope so turf and beds receive the right amount of water. Smart controllers, rain and freeze sensors, and pressure-regulated heads help prevent runoff and dry spots.
• Seasonal Checks and Tune-Ups — Consistent performance comes from routine care. Our seasonal service includes spring start-ups, mid-season audits, and fall shut-downs. We test each zone, adjust arcs and nozzles, verify pressure and precipitation rates, inspect wiring and valves, and flag any repairs before they become costly problems.
• Water-Efficient Designs That Save Money and Support Sustainability — Drip lines in beds, matched-precipitation nozzles in turf, and soil amendments that improve infiltration help you use less water while keeping plants healthy.

Water Features

• Custom-Designed Fountains, Ponds, and Waterfalls — From compact, pond-less waterfalls to statement fountains and naturalistic ponds, we design water elements that fit your architecture, sound preferences, and maintenance goals. Each feature is sized for the space and integrates with surrounding stone and plantings.
• Adds Tranquility, Movement, and Sound to Your Landscape — The gentle sound of moving water creates a relaxing atmosphere and masks street noise. Properly positioned features become focal points by day and, with subtle lighting, a dramatic highlight at night.
• Professionally Installed for Long-Term Performance — We build on stable bases with the right liners, pumps, and filtration to keep water clear and equipment protected. Auto-fill options and accessible skimmers simplify ongoing care.
