For Builders & Developers · DFW
Godoy's Wolves is a licensed and insured landscape subcontractor working with builders and developers across Dallas–Fort Worth. Final grade, drainage, irrigation, beds, trees, and sod run by one crew on your schedule, so the exterior is finished and inspection-ready before the walkthrough.

Landscape is the last trade on the lot and the one most likely to hold up a walkthrough. We schedule backward from your CO date, work around concrete, fence, and utility crews, and tell you early if weather on clay is going to move us — instead of going quiet and letting you find out on the day.
One sub covers the whole exterior scope: final grade, drainage, irrigation, beds, trees, sod, and hardscape. That is one number to call, one crew to let onto the lot, and one company on the hook if something needs to come back.
Grounds and landscape contracts we hold year-round. The same crews and the same standard go onto your lots.
We start where the concrete and fence crews finished. The pad gets shaped to positive fall away from the slab, the beds and turf lines get marked out, and utilities get located before a shovel goes in the ground. Everything after this depends on getting it right here.
The step that generates callbacks when it gets skipped. French and channel drains go in where the lot needs them, tied to daylight, while the ground is still open — because the cheapest time to fix water is before sod hides where it goes.
Zones laid out to how the lot actually gets sun, valves and wiring set, heads placed for head-to-head coverage. Texas requires a licensed irrigator to install a system for compensation and ours is current. This goes in while the ground is open — it is the cheapest it will ever be.
Beds shaped and cut to a clean edge, shrubs set to spacing, trees sized to the elevation and planted at the right depth rather than dropped in a hole. If the development sets tree counts or minimum caliper, we plant to the packet.
St. Augustine, Bermuda, or Zoysia over prepared soil — not laid straight onto compacted construction clay, which is why so much new-build turf is dead by August. Seams tight, rolled, and watered in before we hand it over.
We walk it with you before the buyer sees it. Punch list handled, edges cut, mulch topped, the street and the neighbouring lots swept, and every pallet and off-cut hauled away. You should not be finding our mess on a finished street.
One custom home gets the crew for as long as the house needs, without being pulled to another address mid-job. A phase release gets resourced to the schedule you give us. Either way it is one point of contact, not a different sub per street.
The same two new-construction lots the whole way through: what the builder handed us, the work going in, and the day we handed it back.

Yes to both. Godoy's Wolves is licensed and insured, and our irrigation licensing is current — Texas requires a licensed irrigator to install or repair a system for compensation. Ask and we will send a certificate of insurance naming you as additional insured before we set foot on the lot.
Either, and they are scheduled differently. A custom home gets a crew that stays on it rather than being pulled to another address halfway through — on a house like that the finish is the whole point. Volume work gets resourced to the release schedule you give us. Send either one and we will tell you honestly what we can hold, because a sub who overpromises capacity is the one who misses your date.
Yes. On a custom home the plan usually already exists and the job is installing it faithfully — right species, right sizes, right spacing, set where the drawing puts them. If something on the plan will not survive the soil or the exposure on that lot, we say so before it goes in the ground rather than after it dies.
Common on the work we do. Give us the access process and we follow it. Crews keep the street and the neighboring lots clean, stage material where you tell us to, and haul off at the end of the day rather than leaving pallets and spoil sitting on a finished street.
Yes. Private neighborhoods usually set tree counts, minimum caliper, screening and bed standards, and the committee has to sign off before a closing. Send us the packet and we design and install to it, because failing that review delays your closing and that lands on you.
After final grade is set and the exterior trades are clear, before the walkthrough. Landscape installed while concrete and fence crews are still working gets driven over and paid for twice. Give us the closing date and we schedule backward from it.
Because everything downstream sits on it. Trenching a system into a pad that still has to be reshaped means digging the same ground twice, and drainage pipe has to be under finished grade to work at all. We shape the lot and mark the lines first, then the system goes in once and stays where it was put.
We come back. Plants and sod are living material and North Texas clay is unforgiving, so some replacement is normal rather than a dispute. Tell us what failed and we will get out there. Callbacks cost you a homeowner conversation you should not have to have.
Either. Plenty of builders start with sod and irrigation and keep their own hardscape sub. We would rather do one part of the scope well than take work we are stretched on.
Yes. Most North Texas developments set minimum tree counts, sod coverage, and bed standards before final approval. Send the packet and we design to it, because failing that inspection delays a closing and that lands on you, not the sub.
Rafael Godoy, the owner, walks the lot and prices the work, and you have his number. You will not be handed to an account manager who has never seen the site.
Send the plot plan and the landscape requirements, or just get us the address. We walk it, price the whole exterior as one job instead of a stack of separate trades, and come back with a written number.
