Benefits of Professional Landscaping
Increased Property Value
A professionally designed landscape can boost your property’s market value by up to 15%. In high-demand areas, aesthetic curb appeal and functional outdoor spaces attract buyers and increase resale opportunities. A thoughtfully landscaped yard often signals quality maintenance and pride in ownership. For real estate investors, landscaping can offer high ROI with relatively low upfront costs.
Improved Curb Appeal
Attractive landscaping enhances the visual appeal of your home or business. From tree-lined entryways, a well-maintained landscape makes a strong first impression on guests or clients. Lush greenery and well-placed accents create an inviting environment. Whether it's a residential driveway or a commercial storefront, good landscaping sets the tone before someone even steps inside.
Enhanced Outdoor Living Spaces
Functional landscaping adds usable square footage to your home. In warmer areas, shaded patios, outdoor kitchens, and garden seating extend comfort and living space outdoors. These spaces are perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying meals al fresco. Thoughtful layouts also increase privacy and improve overall livability.
Better Water Management
Smart irrigation and native plant selection help conserve water while keeping landscapes lush. This is especially crucial that experience dry summers and water restrictions. Drip systems, moisture sensors, and rain-efficient designs reduce waste. Proper drainage solutions also prevent erosion and protect your property’s foundation.
Reduced Energy Costs
Strategically planted trees and shrubs can reduce heat absorption in your home. In sun-exposed neighborhoods, this leads to lower cooling costs during peak summer months. Shade trees on the south and west sides of a house can significantly reduce HVAC usage. Proper landscaping even helps protect roof and wall surfaces from UV damage over time.
Stress Relief and Wellness
A beautiful landscape can offer a peaceful retreat from daily stress. Whether it’s a tranquil backyard garden in Irving or a koi pond, green spaces promote mental well-being and relaxation. The sights and sounds of nature have been proven to reduce anxiety and boost mood. Creating a serene outdoor environment can also improve sleep and encourage outdoor activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of plants do best in the Dallas climate?
Plants like Texas Sage, Lantana, Blackfoot Daisy, and Live Oak thrive in Dallas’s hot, dry climate due to their drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements. These species resist pests and adapt well to North Texas soil. We also recommend using native grasses and perennials for long-term sustainability.
How often should I water my landscape in Dallas?
In most Dallas neighborhoods, landscapes should be watered 1–2 times per week during summer, depending on city water restrictions and soil type. Sandy soils may require more frequent watering than clay-heavy soils. We also install smart irrigation systems that adjust watering based on weather conditions.
Do you use native plants in your designs?
Yes, we prioritize native and adaptive plants that are well-suited to Dallas soil and weather. This approach reduces water usage and promotes healthier ecosystems. Native landscaping also supports local pollinators and minimizes the need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
How long does a typical landscape project take?
Most landscape projects in the Dallas area take 2–4 weeks, depending on size and complexity, including design, materials sourcing, and installation. Custom features or hardscapes may add time. We always provide a detailed timeline before beginning work to ensure transparency.
Can you help with drought-tolerant landscaping?
Absolutely. We design low-water landscapes using xeriscaping principles to create beautiful, sustainable yards in areas impacted by water restrictions. Gravel beds, native shrubs, and drip irrigation are commonly used. These methods reduce maintenance while enhancing visual appeal and water efficiency.
Do you offer commercial landscaping services?
Yes, we provide professional landscaping for commercial properties in Dallas and surrounding cities, including office parks, retail spaces, and multi-family developments. Our team ensures your exterior spaces are welcoming, well-kept, and aligned with your brand image. Maintenance packages are also available for businesses.
Will you maintain my landscape after installation?
Yes, we offer ongoing maintenance packages for clients in Plano, Garland, and throughout the Dallas metro to keep your landscape healthy and vibrant year-round. Services include lawn care, pruning, fertilization, and seasonal plantings. We tailor maintenance schedules to your specific property and preferences.
Are your irrigation systems efficient and city-compliant?
All systems are designed for efficiency and meet local Dallas water regulations, helping reduce waste and ensuring your landscape thrives under varying conditions. We install smart controllers, rain sensors, and zone-specific heads for precision watering. Our systems also qualify for local water conservation rebates in some areas.
HAPPY CUSTOMERS!
What our customers say
I recently hired Cornerstone to demolish a swimming pool, and I was very impressed with the results and customer service. The owner, Warren, was very professional, and he has a very good crew working with him. I’m a fan of Cornerstone and plan to engage with them on future projects!
Harold P.
We had a deep leak in our irrigation system and several other items that needed adjustment. Warren Hammett came out at the appointed time, identified the primary problem, and spent several hours making the repairs we required. The system has worked as it should since. A very positive service experience--fair bill, respectful of plants he was working around, pleasant to deal with.
Jan W.
These guys are the best!!! If I could give them 10 stars I would. I’ve had 2 other companies try and fix a drainage problem we have in our yard and it didn’t work. Cornerstone fixed it from a different perspective and we couldn’t believe the difference. For the first time since we have lived here we don’t have standing water when it rains. Very pleased with the work they did for us. Highly recommend them!
Maryellen M.
I contacted Cornerstone for drainage and irrigation services. A member of their team quickly responded, came out and quoted within a few days. I had water that was flowing and sitting around my foundation which was slowly damaging my foundation. Cornerstone quickly put together a plan to drain the water away from the foundation. I am extremely pleased with the work and would highly recommend them as the work was efficient, done extremely well and at a reasonable price point.
