Lubbockscape offers landscape design in Lubbock, TX 79424 for homeowners who want a front yard, backyard or full property plan before spending money on plants and hardscape. Our designs combine layout, plant selection, irrigation, lighting and hardscape into one scaled plan, built around how you use the yard and what actually survives on the South Plains.

Spring winds usually come from the south and southwest, while winter cold fronts arrive from the north. We use evergreen screens on exposed sides, place patios where structures break the wind and avoid light mulch that blows away.
Afternoon sun hits hardest on west-facing walls and patios. A shade tree, pergola or shade sail on the west side can make a backyard usable on summer evenings.
We group plants into hydrozones (high, moderate, low) so each irrigation zone matches what's planted there. Mixing thirsty and drought-tolerant plants on one zone wastes water and kills one or the other.
Lubbock is in USDA Zone 7, and local Master Gardeners note that plants must handle sustained temperatures near 0°F to be considered hardy here. We only specify plants proven in Lubbock yards.
We probe planting areas for caliche and choose trees and shrubs that tolerate high pH. Planting holes are dug wide and, where needed, through caliche so roots and water can move.
Keep grass where people and pets use it, and switch hard-to-water strips, slopes and shady corners to beds, rock, xeriscaping or artificial turf.
| Category | Examples |

| Shade trees | Chinese pistache, cedar elm, bur oak, chinquapin oak, lacebark elm |

Landscape design in 79424 or 79423 often starts with a nearly blank builder yard and a question about where shade and privacy should go. In 79410, 79411 and 79413, designs usually work around mature trees, older hardscape and established beds.
