Creating Outdoor Spaces That Function
Landscape Installations in Dallas for properties requiring new landscape beds, sod, and planted features
Properties without established landscaping lack visual appeal and functional outdoor areas, whether due to new construction or complete landscape removal. Burnt Hickory Landscape Service Inc installs landscape beds, shrubs, sod, and decorative features for residential and commercial properties in Dallas, Cartersville, Rockmart, and surrounding areas. Installation projects focus on creating finished landscapes rather than ongoing maintenance, using proper plant selection and installation techniques to support long-term establishment.
Landscape installation begins with site preparation—grading soil, amending beds with organic material, and establishing proper drainage to prevent water pooling around new plantings. Plants are selected based on sun exposure, soil conditions, and intended use, then installed at correct depths with spacing that allows mature growth. Mulch and edging complete beds, and sod is rolled and secured to create immediate ground cover.
Arrange a property consultation to discuss landscaping goals and site conditions.
What Changes After Installation Completes
Installation transforms bare or cleared ground into functional outdoor areas with defined beds, planted shrubs, and established turf. Projects include soil preparation, plant and sod installation, mulching, and initial watering to settle roots. Quality installation requires matching plant types to site conditions—shade-tolerant shrubs for areas under trees, drought-resistant species for exposed beds—and spacing plants to allow airflow and growth without overcrowding.
Once installation is finished, you see defined landscape beds with mulched surfaces, planted shrubs positioned at mature spacing, and sod coverage that creates uniform turf across graded areas. Newly installed landscapes require initial establishment care—regular watering for several weeks—but are designed to grow into the intended layout without requiring replanting or repositioning.
Installation services include site preparation, plant and sod selection based on conditions, installation at proper depths and spacing, mulching, and edging. The service does not include ongoing maintenance, fertilization schedules, or seasonal pruning, which property owners manage after establishment. Projects are tailored to new construction sites, property renovations, and complete landscape overhauls where previous features have been removed.

What site preparation is completed before planting?
Soil is graded to prevent water pooling, amended with organic material if compacted or nutrient-poor, and cleared of debris or roots that interfere with new plantings.
How are plants selected for specific areas?
Selection considers sun exposure, soil drainage, mature plant size, and intended function—foundation plantings differ from border shrubs, and areas with poor drainage require species that tolerate wet conditions common in Dallas clay soils.
When is the best time to install new landscapes?
Fall and early spring offer moderate temperatures that reduce transplant stress and allow root establishment before extreme heat or cold, though sod can be installed year-round with appropriate watering.
What should property owners do immediately after installation?
Water new plantings daily for the first two weeks, then transition to deeper, less frequent watering as roots establish, and avoid heavy foot traffic on new sod until roots anchor into soil.
How does installation differ for residential versus commercial properties?
Commercial projects often involve larger plant quantities, irrigation coordination, and phased installation to minimize disruption, while residential work focuses on detailed bed design and feature placement tailored to homeowner preferences.
