Serving Todd Mission, TX

One of the most rural communities
in our service area.

Todd Mission sits in Grimes County, just south of Plantersville — a small, incorporated city with a character that reflects the land it's built on. Large custom properties, open terrain, and homeowners who chose this area specifically because it isn't like everywhere else.

Landscaping on properties like these requires a different pace and a different kind of thinking. The scale of the land means decisions about where to place trees, how to route drainage, and where to draw the boundary between cultivated and natural areas carry real weight. Get it right and the landscape belongs to the property. Get it wrong and you're fighting the land for years. We take our time on site visits out here because the walk earns the plan.

We serve Todd Mission properties including:

  • Colton
  • Todd Mission acreage & custom home properties
  • And surrounding rural Grimes County communities

If you're out here and wondering whether we travel this far — yes. Call us.

Acreage & Rural Properties

Landscape design
at the scale of the land

Todd Mission properties don't fit a standard residential landscape template. The lots are large, the terrain can vary, and the sense of privacy that drew most people here is something the landscape needs to reinforce rather than undermine. A plan built for a suburban quarter-acre lot simply doesn't translate to this setting.

Drainage on rural Grimes County land also works differently. Natural draws, low-lying areas, and terrain variation across an acreage lot require drainage solutions that work with the land rather than just redirecting water. We design French drains and dry creek beds scaled to the distances and conditions of larger rural properties — not the same solutions we'd use on a subdivision lot.

  • Landscape design built around the specific character and scale of your Todd Mission property
  • French drains and dry creek beds sized for rural acreage drainage distances and terrain
  • Privacy screening along long fence lines and open property perimeters
  • Naturalistic planting that works with the surrounding land rather than against it
  • Stone and hardscape anchors that read proportionally on larger lots

Trees & Long-Term Structure

Trees that give the land
a sense of place

On open rural properties, trees are the primary tool for creating structure, shade, privacy, and the feeling that a home has settled into its land. In Todd Mission, where properties tend to be open and the surrounding landscape is already part of the character, tree placement is one of the most consequential decisions in a landscape plan.

We source trees from our local family-owned tree farm and, on rural properties like these, typically install material that's substantial enough to make an immediate impact rather than waiting years for small-caliper trees to establish. If you'd like to walk the farm and choose your trees by hand, that's always an option.

  • Large canopy tree installation — shade trees selected for scale and long-term performance
  • Privacy trees along extended fence lines — Nellie R. Stevens holly and Claudia Wannamaker magnolias
  • Tree placement that considers sightlines, prevailing wind, and the surrounding terrain
  • Farm sourcing — walk the farm and choose your trees by hand if you'd like
  • Accent trees that connect the cultivated landscape to the natural land around it

How a New Yards project
in Todd Mission unfolds

01
The Phone Call

We start with a conversation, not a quote. We take the time 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.

02
Site Visit

We come to you. Our team walks the property in person — reading the drainage, the terrain, the existing growth, and how you want to live on the land. On rural acreage properties, this walk is the foundation of everything that follows.

03
The Nursery Visit

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.

04
The Design

We take everything we've learned — your taste, your property's conditions, your goals — and build a landscape plan around it. On Todd Mission properties, this often means thinking in terms of zones across the land, not just the area immediately around the house.

05
On-Site Preview

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.

06
Installation & Walkthrough

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.

Why Todd Mission homeowners call us

The right crew
for land like this.

Todd Mission isn't a market most landscapers bother with. It's far enough out, the properties are rural enough, and the projects are different enough from typical suburban work that many crews don't know how to approach them well. We've worked on rural acreage properties throughout Grimes and Montgomery County long enough to understand the difference.

Scale, drainage, tree sizing, the relationship between cultivated landscape and open land — these all require a different frame on a Todd Mission property. We bring that frame to every site visit. And we make the drive consistently — not just for the initial consultation, but through installation and beyond.

We make the drive — consistently
Site visits, sourcing, and installation on rural Grimes County properties. Not just the initial call — the full project, from first walk to final walkthrough.
Rural acreage experience
Large lots, open terrain, and the specific drainage and planting challenges of Grimes County land. We've worked on enough properties like these to know what this setting actually requires.
No handoffs, no runaround
The people you talk to at the start are involved throughout. No account manager handing you off after the sale — the same team that walks your property sees the project through.
Built to last
Every plant, tree, and drainage solution we install is chosen to perform in this climate for years — not to look good in photos on installation day and require revisiting in two seasons.
