Landscape Design in Weatherford, TX
The Parker County seat and L&L Landscape and Design's home base. We know this community because we live and work here every day.
Weatherford's Trusted Landscape Design Partner
Weatherford is where L&L Landscape and Design calls home. Based just minutes from the Parker County courthouse, we have spent years building relationships with homeowners across every corner of this growing city. Weatherford is the seat of Parker County, a community of approximately 35,000 residents that continues to grow at 5.46% annually. That growth means new construction, new neighborhoods, and a steady demand for professional landscape design services that match the character of this region.
The soil beneath Weatherford properties tells a story that matters for every landscape project. Parker County sits on the Tarrant-Bolar-Purves soil association, which means black clay dominates most residential lots. This clay expands when wet and contracts during drought, creating challenges for foundation stability, drainage planning, and plant root development. We design every Weatherford project with this soil profile in mind, engineering proper drainage gradients and selecting plant species with root systems that thrive in heavy clay rather than fight against it.
Weatherford's USDA Hardiness Zone 8a classification means our growing season is long and generous, but summer heat regularly exceeds 100 degrees. We select plantings that tolerate both the July extremes and the occasional hard freeze that drops below 15 degrees in winter. Native and adapted species like Texas sage, flame acanthus, Mexican feathergrass, and cedar elm form the backbone of our planting palettes. These selections reduce irrigation demand while providing year-round visual interest, a combination that matters in a region where water conservation is increasingly important.
Neighborhoods and Areas We Serve in Weatherford
We work with homeowners throughout Weatherford's diverse neighborhoods. The Walsh Ranch area on the city's southeast edge features newer construction on generous lots where homeowners are building outdoor living spaces from scratch. Established neighborhoods near Lake Weatherford offer mature trees and existing landscapes that benefit from renovation and hardscape additions. Properties near the historic downtown corridor around the Parker County courthouse often have smaller lots that demand creative, space-efficient designs. South of town along the FM 51 corridor, larger properties provide opportunities for comprehensive landscape transformations including grading, drainage systems, and expansive natural stone installations.
Chandor Gardens, Weatherford's own historic garden estate, has long set a standard for what thoughtful landscape design can achieve. While our projects are residential rather than public, we draw inspiration from the same principles that made those gardens legendary: intentional plant placement, natural stone integration, and outdoor rooms that flow naturally from one space to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Weatherford sits on the Tarrant-Bolar-Purves soil association, which is predominantly heavy black clay. This clay expands significantly when wet and shrinks during drought, creating movement that can crack hardscape, shift retaining walls, and stress plant roots. We engineer our installations with proper base preparation, compaction, and drainage to account for this soil behavior. For plantings, we select species with root systems adapted to heavy clay rather than fighting it.
Because Weatherford is our home base, we can typically schedule an on-site consultation within a few days of your initial contact. Project start times depend on our current schedule and the scope of work, but local projects often begin sooner than those in outlying areas. We prioritize clear communication about timelines from the initial estimate through project completion.
Yes. We work extensively with homeowners in Walsh Ranch and other new Weatherford developments. New construction lots often have minimal builder-grade landscaping that needs significant improvement. We design complete outdoor environments from scratch, including grading for proper drainage, soil amendment, custom planting beds, hardscape features, and outdoor living spaces that transform a new house into a finished home.
