Landscaping Westlake 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 estates and businesses across Westlake, TX. Locally owned and licensed since 2011, we deliver elite-level landscapes with the discretion and detail that Westlake's high-profile properties expect.

Westlake is one of the most prestigious communities in North Texas — an enclave of custom estates and gated, master-planned neighborhoods like Vaquero, Terra Bella, Glenwyck Farms, and Quail Hollow. Homes here sit on expansive, often rolling lots where landscaping is expected to match the architecture: refined, private, and immaculately maintained year-round. That takes an experienced team, not a one-size-fits-all crew.

What Westlake Estates Need to Thrive

Landscaping in Westlake goes well beyond routine lawn care. Large lots, rolling terrain, high design standards, and a strong preference for privacy all shape how an estate landscape should be planned and maintained. Here is what we account for on every Westlake property.

Estate-Scale Design and Privacy

Westlake's expansive homesites call for landscapes designed at scale — grand front-entry arrivals, large planting beds that suit estate architecture, and privacy-focused layouts using strategic greenery and screening. We are accustomed to working discreetly on high-profile, privacy-conscious properties, delivering a finished look that feels intentional from the street to the back of the lot.

Rolling Terrain, Grading, and Retaining Walls

Many Westlake estates sit on rolling, multi-acre lots that require professional grading and structure. We build natural stone and cut-limestone retaining walls, terraced gardens, and raised planters that control erosion, create usable space, and match the architecture — turning elevation changes into a designed feature rather than a problem.

Clay Soil and Drainage on Large Properties

Even the finest estate is only as healthy as its drainage. On Westlake's clay-heavy soil and larger lots, water has to be managed deliberately. As TCEQ Licensed Irrigators, we design grading, French drains, channel drains, and retaining-wall drainage that protect foundations and hardscape while keeping expansive beds and lawns healthy year-round.

Luxury Outdoor Living

Westlake residents put a premium on exceptional outdoor living. We design and build stone patios and terraces, pergolas, outdoor fireplaces and fire features, water features, and architectural landscape lighting in premium materials — creating resort-style spaces built for entertaining and relaxing, and set on proper footing to last.

Smart Irrigation and Native Plantings

Large landscapes and hot North Texas summers make water management essential. We install efficient, zoned irrigation with smart controllers calibrated for big properties, and pair it with drought-adapted and native plantings that keep an estate lush and water-wise through the hottest months and any watering restrictions.

Estate-Level Year-Round Care

A Westlake landscape stays immaculate only with consistent, detailed care. We provide estate-level maintenance — pruning and ornamental tree care, seasonal color, bed work, fertilization, and irrigation inspections — on a schedule built around your property, so it always looks manicured, private, and polished.
