In North Texas, where outdoor living is part of the lifestyle, landscaping has become more than an aesthetic upgrade. It’s an investment. For Daystar Landscapes, that philosophy has been at the heart of the company since its earliest days, shaping not only how spaces look, but how they function and endure.
Daystar Landscapes began in 1984 with a simple vision and a strong work ethic. Founder Jeff Canfield moved to Texas from Oklahoma and started the business with little more than determination, a rented wheelbarrow, and tools purchased on a Sears credit card. By day, he completed landscaping jobs. By night, he stocked groceries to make ends meet.
Growth came steadily and organically. “It started with knocking on doors and building trust one project at a time,” says Catherine Brooks, General Manager. “Those early relationships turned into long-term partnerships, and that’s really what built the foundation of who we are today.”
Over the decades, Daystar Landscapes expanded from residential jobs into partnerships with custom and production homebuilders, developing the systems and expertise required to handle projects at every scale. Today, the company offers full-service landscape design and installation for residential, commercial, and new construction properties across North Texas.
That full-service approach is central to the client experience. Rather than coordinating multiple contractors, homeowners can rely on a single, cohesive team from concept through completion. Services include design, installation, planting, irrigation, drainage, lighting, hardscape features, and more, all thoughtfully integrated into one plan.
“Professional landscaping is one of the few investments that improves your daily life while also increasing your home’s value,” explains Catherine. “It creates outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of your home, while also ensuring everything is built to last.”
That balance between beauty and function is where the company truly sets itself apart. Each project begins with a collaborative design process, often incorporating 3-D renderings that allow homeowners to visualize the finished space before construction begins. From there, every detail, from plant selection to grading, is carefully considered.
“Beautiful landscapes start below the surface,” says Catherine. “If irrigation, drainage, and grading aren’t done correctly, even the best design won’t hold up over time.”
This attention to infrastructure helps homeowners avoid common long-term issues like erosion, standing water, and plant failure, protecting both the landscape and the property itself. It also ensures that the finished space remains as functional as it is visually appealing.
Experience in commercial and builder projects also influences Daystar Landscapes’ residential work. The company brings a level of organization, efficiency, and precision that elevates the homeowner experience.
“Working at scale teaches you discipline,” says Catherine. “We bring that same structure and attention to detail into residential projects, so everything runs smoothly and the end result is something we’re proud to stand behind.”
That commitment is reflected not only in the finished product, but in the process itself. Clean job sites, clear communication, and a respect for the homeowner’s space are all part of the Daystar Landscapes standard.
“Landscaping isn’t just about adding plants,” says Catherine. “It’s about creating a space that fits how people actually live.”
Beyond individual projects, Daystar Landscapes is also deeply rooted in the North Texas community, supporting local initiatives and contributing to projects that extend beyond their job sites.
At its core, the company’s mission remains simple: to create outdoor environments that are as functional as they are beautiful. Spaces that grow, adapt, and add value over time.
For homeowners considering their next upgrade, the message is clear. Investing in your landscape isn’t just about today’s curb appeal. It’s about building something that enhances your home, your lifestyle, and your future.
