CORYELL COUNTY
AGAVES LANDSCAPE IN COPPERAS COVE, TX
Copperas Cove is a city of about 36,700 people (2020 census), mostly in Coryell County with parts in Bell and Lampasas counties, on the western side of Fort Hood. It grew from a cattle and railroad town into a military community after Camp Hood opened in 1942, and much of its housing was built for Fort Hood families.
About 35 miles west of our Temple base, past Killeen on US-190 (I-14), roughly 40–45 minutes.
The ground
Copperas Cove sits about 1,125 feet up in the hilly Limestone Cut Plain, the “Five Hills” area between the Lampasas River and Cowhouse Creek, so soils are often thin and rocky with mesquite and live oak on the lots.
Homes and lots
Established neighborhoods such as Colonial Park, newer builder subdivisions like House Creek North (built mostly 2004–2012 on lots around a fifth of an acre), and acreage subdivisions on the edges of town.
Good to know
Permits inside the city go through the City of Copperas Cove, lots outside it fall under the county, rentals are common, and it is the far western end of our area, so visits are planned around the drive.

SERVICES IN COPPERAS COVE
Everything we do in Copperas Cove.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN & BUILD
Thin, rocky soil in Copperas Cove favors native and drought-tolerant plantings and raised beds over deep-soil plants that struggle on limestone.
CONCRETE & HARDSCAPE
Limestone close to the surface in the Five Hills area means excavation for patios and driveways often involves cutting rock rather than just digging soil.
IRRIGATION
Hilly Copperas Cove lots with thin soil need sprinkler zones split by slope and short cycles so water soaks in instead of running off.
PAVERS & HARDSCAPE
Native limestone and retaining walls fit Copperas Cove’s hilly lots, where terraces are often needed to make level outdoor space.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Many Copperas Cove homes are in newer subdivisions with modest backyards, so outdoor kitchens and seating are usually compact patio-based layouts.
OUTDOOR STRUCTURES
Footings for pergolas and patio covers in Copperas Cove are often set into rock, and higher ground can be more exposed to wind.
TURF, FENCES & COURTS
Rocky ground makes setting fence posts harder in Copperas Cove, and artificial turf is a practical option where thin soil will not hold a lawn.
