Elite Exterior Makeover handles landscaping, lawn maintenance and fencing for homes in McKinney. We are based in Royse City and cover Collin County, so McKinney is a regular stop. This page explains how we approach the range of properties here, from older lots near downtown to newer neighbourhoods on the west side.
McKinney covers a lot of ground. Near the historic downtown you get older lots with grown-in trees, narrow side yards and landscaping that has been added to in layers. Out west the neighbourhoods are newer, the lots more uniform, and the planting often still the builder's minimum.
Those are different jobs. Older yards usually need editing, taking out what has outgrown its spot and rebuilding the beds. Newer yards usually need adding, because there is space that was never planted. We tell you which situation you are in at the estimate.
The soil across this part of Collin County is heavy clay. It holds water after a storm and then goes hard and cracks in a dry summer, which is why beds that were mounded when they were planted often end up sitting low and holding water against the foundation side.
We deal with that when we rebuild a bed: correct the fall away from the house, amend the soil so roots have somewhere to go, and choose plants that will tolerate both the wet spell and the dry one. Mulch depth matters more here than people expect.
We install and replace wood fencing on McKinney properties, including runs that follow an HOA-standard style already set by the neighbourhood. On newer builds the original fence is often the cheapest option the builder could put up, and posts are the first thing to go.
We set posts properly for clay ground, which moves seasonally, and we walk the line with you first so gate placement and height are settled before anything is dug. Estimates are free.
