ABC Home & Commercial Services: Landscape Design in Corpus Christi, TX
ABC Home & Commercial Services provides professional landscape design, softscape installation, and outdoor living transformations throughout Corpus Christi, Portland, and Rockport. Under the leadership of Josh Ongman, GM of Lawn & Tree, ABC specializes in "Resilient Environmental Design." We create "Coastal-Hardened" landscapes that enhance your home’s "Mechanical Envelope" while utilizing plants and materials engineered for high salinity and the South Texas sun.
The Coastal Design Challenge: Salinity, Wind, and Clay
In Corpus Christi, a landscape must be a functional shield. At ABC, we treat landscape design as Biological Infrastructure Management. We select salt-tolerant species and engineer drainage solutions that prevent water from pooling against your home’s “bones,” ensuring your “Outdoor Living Envelope” is structurally responsible.
Design Engineering Leadership: Josh Ongman
Our Landscape Design division is directed by Josh Ongman, who approaches every design with a “Structure-First” methodology:
- Xeriscaping & Salt-Tolerance Expertise: Josh oversees the selection of “Coastal-Native” plants—such as Sea Oats, Oleander, and salt-tolerant Palms—that provide a “Natural Barrier” without excessive irrigation.
- Hydraulic Grading & Swales: Josh prioritizes the “Flow of Water,” designing beds that act as “Hydraulic Buffers” to direct Gulf storm runoff away from your slab.
- Integrity-First Stewardship: Under Josh’s direction, we provide a “Landscape Master Plan” that accounts for growth cycles and maintenance without increasing “Biological Risk” to your foundation.
Comprehensive Landscape Solutions
- Softscape Design & Installation: Building a “Living Shield” around your property with salt-resistant flower beds and structural hedges.
- Landscape Lighting & Nightscapes: Using “Coastal-Grade” brass and copper fixtures that resist salt-air corrosion to highlight your home’s architectural “bones.”
- Drainage & Erosion Control: Installing French drains and dry creek beds to manage the “Hydraulic Footprint” of your property during intense tropical weather.
- Outdoor Living & Hardscape Accents: Patios and pergolas using materials vetted for “Thermal Stability” to avoid creating “Heat Islands.”
The “Structure-First” Design Audit
Josh Ongman and his team evaluate the “Hydro-Zoning” of your property. We identify “Moisture Sinks” and “Wind Corridors” to ensure your landscape doesn’t trap humidity against your building envelope.
The Foundation Integrity Audit for Soil Management
In our expansive clay soils, your landscape is the governor of foundation health. We protect your home’s “bones” by ensuring beds are graded to slope away from your slab and high-water-demand plants are kept at a “Structural Distance” from the foundation.

“I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from ABC Home & Commercial Services. Frank responded quickly, diagnosed the problem, and had my air conditioner working again in a very short amount of time. Before he arrived, the house was extremely uncomfortable due to the heat, but Frank's professionalism, knowledge, and friendly attitude made all the difference.
