30 years building landscapes across Northwest Houston — designed for this soil, this climate, and your family for generations. Thoughtful work, built to last.
We specialize in full-service landscape design and installation — from the first site visit through final planting. Every project is planned and installed by our team, start to finish.
Site-specific designs using plants selected for NW Houston's clay soil, heat, and rainfall. Every composition is built around your property and how you want to use it.

Walkways, dry creek beds, boulderwork, and stonework. Structures that earn their place — functional, considered, and built to look like they belong on the property.

Keep your lawn healthy with irrigation systems built for NW Houston's clay soil and climate. We also design drainage solutions — French drains and dry creek beds — to move water away and protect your landscape.

From shade trees and ornamentals to privacy hedges and palms, we source species that are proven in NW Houston's soil and climate — then plant them correctly so they establish and last. The right tree in the right place makes a property.

The landscape around your pool determines how the entire property feels. We handle planting, stone edging, boulder work, stepping stones, and privacy screening — the complete picture.

We recommend a spring and fall refresh to keep your landscape healthy and looking its best — but we work on your schedule. Whether it's a seasonal cleanup, mulch refresh, or bed prep before a planting, call when you're ready.

We start with a conversation, not a quote. John calls to understand your project — what you're hoping to create, what's not working, and whether it's a good fit. No pressure, no pitch.
We come to you. Our team walks the property in person — reading the drainage, the light, the soil, the existing growth. This isn't a sales visit. It's where the real design work begins.
This is what sets us apart. You come out to our property at 40911 FM 149 in Magnolia — our working showcase — and walk through plants, trees, stone, and rock with our team. You point to what you love and what you don't. That's how we build the plan.
We take everything we've learned — your taste, your property's conditions, your goals — and build a landscape plan around it. Every plan is specific to your property and how you want to use the space.
Before anything goes in the ground, we walk the site with you and show you exactly where everything will be placed. Beds, trees, plants — you see the plan in real space before we break ground.
We build it. Then we walk it with you. Every project ends with our team on-site making sure the work matches what we agreed on and that you're happy with it.
Every project in NW Houston. Every image a real yard — no renderings, no stock photography.
"I've spent thirty years learning what works in this soil. Not design trends — this specific land, these species, this climate. That's what I bring to your property. Every time."
New Yards Landscaping was founded in 1994 by John Rueda with one straightforward belief — do it right the first time. Over 30 years, our team has built hundreds of landscapes across Magnolia, The Woodlands, Tomball, Conroe, and Montgomery. We know this soil, this climate, and what it takes to build an outdoor space your family will enjoy for generations.
The clay composition here, the seasonal flooding, the species that hold up through Texas summers and the ones that don't. Thirty years working this specific terrain shapes every plant selection, drainage decision, and grade we consider.
Your project is planned and installed by the same team. No miscommunication between who walked the site and who broke ground. What we agree on during the consultation is what gets built.
If a species won't survive your drainage situation, we say so. If a design looks beautiful but requires constant intervention, we offer an alternative. Honest counsel before the project starts is part of what you're hiring.
We design with a 10-year vision. How a tree canopy matures, how plant volumes fill, how stone settles into the land. The day-one photograph is not the goal — a landscape your family enjoys for generations is.
"We have worked with this team for over 20 years. Excellent design, exceptional plants, impeccable execution. You can trust them with any landscape project — large or small. They are the only call we make."
"Professional, hands-on, and genuinely informative throughout the entire process. The quality of the plant selection was outstanding. We learned more about our yard in one consultation than in years of trying ourselves."
"Our new landscape looks absolutely beautiful. The team communicated every step, delivered exactly what was designed — on time, on budget, with no surprises. Highly recommend without reservation."
Based at FM 149 in Magnolia, TX — we design and install landscapes for residential properties throughout Northwest Houston. Our work spans Magnolia, The Woodlands, Tomball, Conroe, Montgomery, Pinehurst, Plantersville, and Todd Mission.
Whether you're in a wooded acreage in Montgomery or a luxury home in The Woodlands, we bring the same 30-year knowledge of NW Houston's soil, drainage, and climate to every property. Not sure we cover your area? Call us directly.
