Empire Landscaping was founded in 1994 by Patrick Wilson and has grown into one of the most trusted landscaping installation providers in Plano and the surrounding North Texas communities.
With a focus on quality, thoughtful design, and long-lasting results, we work closely with homeowners and businesses to build landscapes that look great — and perform great — in the Texas climate. Our reputation is built on reliability, craftsmanship, and customer-first service.
Patrick Wilson started Empire Landscaping after moving from Iowa to the Dallas area in the early 1990s. With a background in technical drafting, he began mowing lawns while developing a deep interest in plants, landscape structure, and outdoor engineering.
What started with small mowing jobs evolved into a passion for designing landscapes that thrive — not just look good for a season. Patrick invested years into studying soil conditions, shade patterns, irrigation, and plant behavior in Texas, eventually expanding into full installation and construction work.
Today, Empire Landscaping continues that same mission — helping homeowners enjoy beautiful, functional outdoor spaces built to last. The foundation of our work remains unchanged: quality materials, honest recommendations, and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
Our mission is simple — listen first, recommend wisely, and build with care.
We guide you through plant selection, materials, layout, and installation options so your landscape fits both your vision and your budget. Customer experience matters to us as much as the work itself, and we take pride in clear communication from first contact to final walkthrough.
Empire Landscaping exists because outdoor spaces matter. They bring families together, enhance curb appeal, and add lasting value to a home. We’d be honored to help create a space you’re proud of.
Transform your property with fresh landscape installation, stone edging, plant redesign, and more.

Our process begins by carefully removing your existing grass using a sod cutter. Subsequently, we install nutrient-rich additives and till them into your existing soil. Moreover, we lightly regrade your lawn, ensuring a suitable slope. Then, we lay the sod and use a sod roller to even the grade. Finally, we conduct a thorough check of your sprinkler system for 100% coverage of your new lawn. In this way, our step-by-step approach ensures the meticulous installation of your new sod and a healthy, thriving lawn.
