Landscaping & Drainage Solutions That Look Good—and Work Hard
Landscaping is more than curb appeal—it’s how your outdoor space functions, drains, breathes, and grows. At Thackery Living, we take a construction-first approach to landscape design, ensuring your investment is not just beautiful, but sustainable and water-smart for years to come.
Drainage That Actually Works
North Texas clay soils, flash flooding, poor grading from builders—it’s no wonder so many homeowners struggle with standing water, erosion, or wet basements.
We solve these issues with real, engineered solutions—not just guessing where the water goes.
The two most common systems we install are:
- Surface Drains: These catch basins and grates collect water from low spots like patios, lawns, and side yards—redirecting it safely away before it becomes a problem.
- French Drains: Installed below ground, these systems use gravel and perforated pipe to collect and move water that saturates the soil, helping to protect foundations, landscaping, and hardscapes from long-term damage.
Each drainage problem is unique. That’s why we evaluate slope, soil type, runoff volume, and structures before recommending the right approach. Installing the wrong system—or skipping proper design—can make problems worse instead of better.
We also implement:
- Swales and grading corrections
- Downspout extensions and water routing
- Dry creek beds and decorative redirection solutions
- Retaining walls for grade management
And because we understand how homes are built, we ensure everything is installed to protect your foundation, your siding, and your long-term value.
Smart, Low-Stress Landscaping
We’ll help you select regionally appropriate plants that thrive in Texas heat, clay soil, and drought conditions. Prefer modern and minimal? Or lush and layered? We can build around any aesthetic—but always with performance and maintenance in mind.
We also consider:
