About Durascapes
One crew. The whole yard. Built to last.
Durascapes LLC is an owner-operated residential landscaping and hardscaping company based in McKinney, Texas. Owner Justin Cross and his core team personally manage grading, drainage, hardscape construction, and climate-durable plantings — so one team handles the whole project instead of three crews that never quite line up.
We bridge heavy civil and grading work with fine horticultural design, choosing climate-appropriate plants and structural hardscaping designed to handle North Texas heat, drought, storms, and freezes — not the delicate installs that die in the first August or heave after the first February freeze.
Durability over quick aesthetics
Climate-appropriate flora and structural hardscaping designed to handle North Texas heat, drought, storms, and freezes — not plants picked only for instant curb appeal.
Owner-operated quality control
Justin Cross and his core team personally manage project execution for consistent build quality and customer satisfaction on every job.
Comprehensive end-to-end scope
We bridge heavy civil and grading work with fine horticultural design, so one team handles grading, drainage, hardscape, and plantings instead of three crews.
Built for McKinney clay & weather
Heavy Collin County clay, freeze-thaw cycles, and 100-degree summers are exactly the conditions we design and build for on every job.

Our Process
A connected build, not three crews that don't talk
On-site consult & grade walk
Justin walks the property, reads the slope and soil, and pinpoints the drainage, sun, and freeze issues that will decide what actually lasts here.
Design, grading & build
One team handles grading and drainage, then hardscape construction and plantings — so the build matches the design instead of fighting it.
Final walkthrough & care plan
We walk the finished project together, confirm drainage and levels, and hand you a no-fluff care plan for the first freeze and first drought.

Based on 47 verified reviews across McKinney & the 20-mile radius
“Our paver patio survived last summer's 100-degree stretch and the February freeze without a single shifted stone. Justin graded the drainage right the first time.”
“Three other landscapers planted things that died the first August. Durascapes picked drought-tolerant plants that actually look better now, two years in.”
“The retaining wall holds back a slope that two walls before it couldn't. Clean work, honest crew, and they explained every decision.”
