  • Ann H Kelsey5.0

    Chris Helms just built a Pickleball court for our family out in the country just north of Katy Texas and did an exceptional job. He took care of all details, both involving the court, the net, the fencing, and the lights as well as smoothing out the area outside of the fence. We highly recommend him and his company.<br>Ann K.

  • Andrew shadrach5.0

    Chris and team did a great job. Leveled and graded whole lot. Full sod replacement front and back yards. Black star gravel installed all throughout back yard. BBQ bad installed with limestone pavers. Limestone boarders in back yard with boxwoods planted in backyard beds. Drainage with basins and gutter drains installed running to street. Work was professional and we are very happy with the final product. Would recommend. Thanks Chris!

    Chris and his team did an excellent job. He is super responsive from proposal to the end of the job and addressing any last items.<br>He’s super easy to work with and comes with good ideas and suggestions. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their outdoor space.

  • Adrienne Murry5.0

    Chris and his team did such a wonderful job on our driveway and sidewalks! The entire process was fairly seamless and they very promptly got the job done after all the paperwork was signed. Chris, the owner, was also very good at giving us updates almost daily about the progress and any timeline changes. I highly recommend this company!!

  • Annie Hurst Koehn5.0

    Chris and his team did an excellent job on the design and installation of turf, flowerbeds, and raised planters in our backyard. The crew worked efficiently, kept the site clean, and stayed on schedule with clear communication throughout.<br><br>We’re adding plants this spring and can’t wait to see the finished product come to life. Even now, the space feels completely transformed. We highly recommend Chris and his team.

  • Matteo Gasparini5.0

    Wanted to wait through a couple of seasons to see how everything held up. We are so pleased with the attention to detail, precision, and finished product with Chris Helms and team. The communication throughout the project was easy and clear. The estimate for our project was on the higher end from others, but ultimately you get what you pay for, and we got high end, top notch, excellent quality work. We’d no doubt use him and his team again.

Company Background

About Helms Landscape Design, LLC

Helms Landscape Design is run by its owner, Chris Helms, who the company says oversees every project from the first walk of the yard to the last. The studio works out of an office at 710 North Post Oak Road, Suite 103, and the website says visits are by appointment, Monday through Saturday. It describes itself as a design-build team, so one crew handles drawings, 3D renderings, construction and lighting instead of passing the job between trades.

The specialty is the backyard that does more than look good: custom pools and spas, basketball and pickleball courts, putting greens, synthetic turf, travertine and paver patios, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and pergolas. Its synthetic turf work earned the Synthetic Turf Council's 2023 Residential Project of the Year award, which the company displays on its site. Reviews show a wider range, including full sod replacement, leveling and grading, limestone borders and a driveway and sidewalk job. Service area pages name Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Cypress, Pearland, Memorial, Spring and Bellaire.

Homeowners praise the owner's involvement. Erica says Chris helped finalize a vision for a blank-slate yard and that Helms offered the best value of three quotes. Annie mentions a clean site and clear communication, and Adrienne says the driveway job moved quickly once the paperwork was signed.

Helms Landscape Design holds 4.8 from 127 Google reviews, read November 5, 2026.

It suits homeowners planning a pool, court or turf project who want one accountable team. It suits people who need regular mowing or tree work less well, because the site lists no maintenance program. Before booking, ask for an itemized written proposal, ask who handles permits for pool or electrical work, and if sprinklers are included, ask for the Texas irrigator license number and check it with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Helms Landscape Design, LLC FAQs

  • Is Helms Landscape Design licensed in Texas?

    Texas has no statewide license for landscape design or installation, so there is no license number behind most of this work. Sprinkler installation requires a Texas licensed irrigator registered with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and pool or electrical work usually needs permits. Helms displays the Synthetic Turf Council 2023 Residential Project of the Year award but publishes no license numbers, so ask who holds the permits and licenses for your job.

    Google lists Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM (Wednesday from 7:30 AM), Saturday 7 AM to 3 PM, and closed Sunday. The website says the office at 710 N Post Oak Rd, Suite 103 is open Monday to Saturday by appointment, so book a time before you visit. Emergency service is not advertised.
