Start Your ProjectWhat Backyard Landscaping Covers
Backyard design starts with how you want to use the space. A yard for young kids looks different from one built for entertaining, or one meant to be low-key and private. We map out zones, a place to sit and grill, open lawn to play on, beds and plantings, so the whole yard works together instead of feeling like leftover space.
We work with what North Texas throws at a backyard. Shade matters when summers run hot, so we plan around your trees and add plantings that hold up. Heavy clay means we think about where water goes before we plant, so you are not left with a muddy low spot every time it rains. A backyard that ignores the heat and the clay does not last.
We can tie the yard into a patio or deck, carve out a private corner with the right plants, define the beds and get the lawn full and even. The result is a backyard that feels finished and pulls your family outside, instead of one you look at through the window.

Why Plan the Backyard Around Your Life
Most backyards get treated like an afterthought, a strip of grass that nobody really uses. That is a waste of space you are already paying for. When a backyard is planned around how your family actually lives, with a spot to sit, room to play and shade for the hot months, you end up using it instead of avoiding it. In North Texas that also means planning for heat and for where the water goes, so the yard stays usable instead of turning into a mud pit half the year.

Why Homeowners Pick S&L Out Back
Designed Around Your Life
We start with how you want to use the yard: kids, pets, grilling, quiet. Then we build the layout to fit, so you end up with a backyard you actually spend time in.
We Plan for the Clay and Heat
Before we plant, we look at where water sits and where the shade falls. That way your new backyard holds up through a wet spring and a hot summer instead of turning into a mud spot.

What Backyard Landscaping Costs
A backyard can be a simple cleanup and planting or a full redesign, so the price follows the scope. The size of the yard, how many plants and beds go in, and how much we clear or level first all move the number.

Call (469) 340-2030How much does a backyard makeover cost in Irving?
It depends on the scope. A cleanup and some new plantings cost far less than a full redesign with new beds, shade plantings and sod. The size of the yard and whether we have to fix a wet low spot matter too. We will look at it and give you a free quote.
How do you start a backyard design?
We start with how you want to use the space, not with plants. Once we know whether it is for the kids, for entertaining or for quiet, we map out the zones and plan the lawn, beds and shade around that. Then we build it in a way that fits your yard and your budget.
Can you fix a backyard that stays wet or muddy?
Often, yes. North Texas clay holds water, so a low spot can stay soggy long after the rain stops. We look at where the water comes from and where it needs to go, then grade or route it away from the areas you use. If the yard needs a drain, we will tell you straight.
What plants hold up in a North Texas backyard?
Plants that take heat and ride out dry spells do best here. We lean on tough, well-adapted shrubs, grasses and trees, and we place shade-lovers under your existing trees. We match the plants to the sun, shade and water each part of your yard gets.
Do you work around an existing patio or deck?
Yes. We design the landscaping to tie into what you already have, whether that is a patio, a deck or a grill area. The point is a backyard that works as one space, so the planted areas and the hard surfaces feel connected.
