Texas summers are no joke. With temperatures frequently topping 100°F, it’s critical to protect your plants from extreme heat and drought stress. The right strategies can mean the difference between a thriving landscape and a wilted mess. At Texas Landscape Creations, we build landscapes that survive—and thrive—through our toughest seasons.
Heat Risks for Central Texas Landscapes
- Scorched Leaves: Sunburn damages plant tissue.
- Wilting & Root Burn: Caused by intense sunlight and dry soil.
- Increased Pest Activity: Stressed plants attract bugs and disease.
Pro Tips to Beat the Heat
- Mulch Generously: Retains soil moisture and regulates temperature.
- Water Early or Late: Avoid midday evaporation.
- Drip Irrigation Systems: Direct water to roots with minimal waste.
- Shade Structures: Pergolas or shade cloth for vulnerable beds.
- Drought-Tolerant Plants: Native species like Texas Sage, Lantana, and Red Yucca.
Landscape Design That Works with the Climate
We design low-water, heat-tolerant landscapes that are as beautiful as they are resilient. Raised beds, decomposed granite paths, and proper grading make a big difference.
