Space City Lights is the best Landscape Lighting Houston Design and Implementation company in the area. Space City Lights also offers Outdoor Lighting warranty and maintenance contracts on new and existing systems to preserve the life of our exterior lighting systems.
"Have used them twice since moving in several years ago. Second time was because I’d redone the back yard so needed to redo the lighting there. Brent and his crew did a great job at a reasonable price. They came when they said they would and cleaned up nicely when they were done. Highly recommend them for landscape lighting and putting in security lighting. Haven’t used them for holiday lighting but have seen some of their work and also recommend for anyone needing such."

"1) Trees were not trimmed satisfactorily per oral agreement at 7030 Krause, Missouri City, Tx 77489. The agreement was that all tree limbs from neighbors trees would be removed at the property line front and back of house. Provider only removed leaves that were leaning on my house (he said he misunderstood-I just let it go but new I would never use him or referrals from Angi's List again.) (2) At 4818 Callery Creek, Houston, Tx 77053 provider was instructed to remove any limps from neighbor's house leaning across property line, especially those in front leaning on roof. He only removed a few limbs that were leaning on house. He did not remove all of the limbs crossing the property line in front yard. At this same residence he was to kill weeds between two adjourning fences in back yard. Neighbor complained that provider came on their property w/o permission, removed pickets from their side of the fence to get to weeds (he did put the pickets back somewhat), sprayed weed killer that killed plants that she brought from native country that had been handed down from her Mother and Grandmother, pickets were not put back satisfactorily. When I asked how they would get this part of the job done, I was told he got to the weeds between fences by climbing and straddling the two fences. Now I was not present when they completed this job but I did drive around to see if jobs were completed satisfactorily - as stated above, only 1 of 3 were done to original agreement."

"I scheduled an appointment with Joey to give me an estimate for some landscaping work. He forgot about the appointment until I called him, resulting in him being 1 1/2 hours late. Following our meeting, he was supposed to provide me with a quote for the work we discussed, but I haven’t heard from him. I’ve since read reviews on Backyards Plus. He either is a 5 star, or a 1 or 2 star based on the reasons I’ve cited above. Not sure if he treats all potential customers this way, or maybe my project wasn’t enough $$$ for him. I was ready to have him do my landscaping project and take over my lawn service. Doesn’t seem to want the business."

"We just had our new Moisture Shield composite deck installed by The Deck & Patio Company and couldn’t be more pleased! From start to finish, this company is five star. From working with the Sales Rep, Tom, to the Project Manager, Martin, the owner, Jed and installers Jimmy and Pedro, these guys are all perfectionists and know what they’re doing. They tore out our existing deck that was only 7 years old, already rotting and a liability to walk on. They had to start from scratch to rebuild our 455 sq. ft. deck. The installers cleaned up every day before they left and never left anything laying around the yard. They worked hard every day for 14 days and worked in everything from 83 degree weather to temps in the low 40’s (this is Texas, after all ?). These gentlemen cared about their work and it showed in their craftmanship and attention to detail. We highly recommend The Deck & Patio Company for your outdoor needs. They are a well-oiled machine and the entire process was smooth and painless. We would hire them again for future projects."

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.
Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design.
While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.
Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.
Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
