Complete Landscaping Renovation Company in the Woodlands Texas
Renovated landscaping, driveway, & turf
Supported by a proper Irrigation & Drainage infrastructure
The Sullivan Project
The Sullivan Project was a complete transformation of how this home looks, functions, and feels—from the street to the backyard. By replacing the concrete driveway and walkways with brick pavers and pairing them with cohesive landscaping, the home gained instant curb appeal and long-term durability. Strategic turf inlays solved ongoing planting challenges while expanding usable patio space. At night, integrated landscape and path lighting bring the entire property to life while enhancing safety and security.
This project focused on elevating both hardscape and landscape to create a polished, welcoming exterior with year-round beauty. The existing concrete driveway and sidewalks were removed and replaced with a three-piece pattern brick paver system that immediately upgraded the home’s appearance and durability.
The renovation extended seamlessly from the driveway to the front door and through the side yard walkway leading to the backyard. To complete the entry experience, the front porch tile was replaced with a neutral, earth-tone natural stone that ties together the new pavers and the home’s existing architecture.

new landscape design with stellar curb appeal
The primary goal for the Sullivan Project was dramatic curb appeal, and landscaping played the starring role. The front yard was redesigned with layered plantings, strong focal points, and custom pottery urns that anchor the space and guide the eye toward the entry.
In the backyard, planting areas were thoughtfully balanced with hardscape and turf to maximize function while maintaining a clean, refined look throughout the property.
Patio turf inlays
One of the most unique elements of this project was the turf inlays installed between the separate patio areas in the backyard.
Previously, planting beds occupied these spaces but struggled to thrive year-round. By replacing them with turf, we created:
-
A consistently green, low-maintenance surface.
-
Expanded usable patio space.
-
Flexibility for additional space & functionality for outdoor furniture.
-
A cleaner visual connection between outdoor living areas.
This solution improved both the functionality and longevity of the space.
Outdoor & landscape lighting
After dark, the Sullivan Project truly comes alive. Carefully placed landscape and path lighting highlights plant textures, walkways, and architectural features throughout the property. Beyond aesthetics, the lighting adds a meaningful layer of safety and security—making the home feel welcoming and protected at all hours.
Drainage & irrigation infrastructure
A critical part of the Sullivan Project was rebuilding the irrigation and drainage systems to support the new landscape design and protect the property long-term. With major changes to planting areas, turf inlays, and hardscape, the existing systems were no longer sufficient or properly aligned with how the yard now functions.
Irrigation Updates
The entire irrigation system was redesigned to accommodate the updated landscape layout. Zones were adjusted to deliver the right amount of water to landscape beds and lawn areas, ensuring healthier growth, improved efficiency, and reduced water waste. The result is a system that supports the landscape without overwatering or creating runoff issues.
Drainage system
To address water management across the property, we installed a comprehensive drainage solution that captures and redirects water safely away from the home. This system collects:
-
Pool overflow
-
Gutter downspouts
-
Multiple low areas in the backyard with catch basins
Water is captured and transported underground using commercial-grade PVC piping, ultimately discharging to the street. This approach prevents standing water, protects hardscape and landscaping investments, and ensures the property performs just as well during heavy rain as it does on dry days.
Together, the upgraded irrigation and drainage systems provide the unseen foundation that allows the Sullivan Project to remain functional and worry-free for years to come.
client testimonial
“We would highly recommend Justin and his team for landscaping. Envy is a very professional landscaping company that delivers quality landscaping and more. We had a very extensive landscape job done that required taking a 25 year old landscape down to the bones and starting completely over. Their design was amazing and they were very accommodating to our taste. The Envy team responded quickly to our asks! When we were out of town for an extended period of time they sent us regular updates with pictures of the progress. The communication was outstanding. The quality of the work and plants were excellent. In today’s world where few deliver what they promise, we were extremely pleased with Envy Landscaping!”

Top-Notch Construction Team
The construction phase of the Sullivan Project was carefully planned and executed to ensure a smooth experience for the homeowner and a lasting result. With multiple systems being rebuilt at once, hardscape, landscaping, irrigation, and drainage, our team coordinated each phase to minimize disruption while maintaining quality and precision throughout the process.
We began with proper grading, and base preparation was completed to support the new brick paver driveway and walkways, ensuring long-term stability and drainage performance. Every paver was installed with attention to alignment, pattern consistency, and edge restraint for a finished look that will stand the test of time.
Once hardscape construction was complete, our crews transitioned into landscaping and turf integration. This step-by-step approach allowed each system to work together seamlessly rather than compete for space or performance. The project concluded with detailed finishing work, lighting adjustments, and final walkthroughs, delivering a cohesive outdoor environment built with precision, professionalism, and pride.
