Sugar Land Corporate Campus Landscaping
Full landscaping installation for a 3-acre corporate office campus in Sugar Land, TX — including irrigation system design and installation, native drought-tolerant plantings, decorative concrete walkways, outdoor seating areas with shade structures, and turf establishment across 1.2 acres of common lawn.
The Challenge
The campus had significant grade changes creating drainage problems — ponding near the building entrance after every heavy rain. The client required low-maintenance plantings suited to Gulf Coast humidity, and the project had to be complete before a high-profile client event 6 weeks out.
Our Solution
We graded the entrance area with a 2% slope toward a new drainage swale and installed French drains to carry water to a retention area at the property's low corner. All plant selections were drawn from the Texas Department of Agriculture's adapted plant list — species that thrive in Gulf Coast humidity without constant irrigation once established. The irrigation system uses soil moisture sensors to water only when needed, projected to cut water use by 35% compared to timer-based systems.
The Results
The campus was complete and pristine for the client event. The entrance drainage solution has eliminated all ponding through two subsequent Gulf Coast storm seasons. The property manager reported irrigation costs dropped 31% in the first full year, and the native plantings have required only one supplemental fertilizer application in 18 months.
