Local Landscaping in Stone Lakes, Southlake

Stone Lakes is a 1990s neighborhood on the west side of Southlake, just south of Southlake Boulevard and next to Southridge Lakes. Streets such as Stone Lakes Drive, Normandy Drive, Lakeway Drive, Nottingham Circle and Brighton Court wind around ponds, walking trails, a playground, tennis and pickleball courts and a community pool and clubhouse. Homes were built mostly in the early to mid-1990s, in both one-story and two-story brick plans, on lots with established shade trees and fenced back yards. Many have been remodeled inside while the landscapes outside are still close to the original builder layout, with small patios and narrow foundation beds.

After 30 years, many Stone Lakes yards have more shade than sun. Owners ask to replace patchy Bermuda with St. Augustine, convert dark side yards into mulch or stone paths, and turn small concrete patios into larger paver areas with a pergola or fire pit. Fence lines often need cleanup of volunteer hackberry, privet and vines. Spring and fall bed refreshes with new mulch and seasonal color are common maintenance requests, along with fall leaf cleanup from the mature trees.

Sandy loam here dries out fast between watering days, so mulch, deep watering and good sprinkler coverage matter, especially for new sod and shrubs in their first summer. Fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs here. HOA guidelines apply to visible front yard changes. Make one call and you are connected with a local pro who works Stone Lakes yards.
