Smith County
Waterfront Construction in
Tyler, TX
Tyler is the largest city in our service area — Smith County seat, home of the Tyler Rose Garden, and the eastern anchor for our Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine work.
On the ground in Tyler
Inside Tyler proper, most of our work is high-end residential: retaining walls on the rolling South Tyler estates, outdoor kitchens around Cumberland and Hollytree, and pond construction on the larger acreage properties. East Tyler red clay drives heavier retaining-wall specs and longer drainage tie-ins than equivalent jobs to the west.
