BELL COUNTY
AGAVES LANDSCAPE IN HARKER HEIGHTS, TX
Harker Heights is the third-largest city in Bell County, with about 33,000 people (2020 census), sitting between Killeen and Nolanville on US-190. It runs south to overlook Stillhouse Hollow Lake, and its housing ranges from 1960s-era neighborhoods to hillside executive homes with lake views.
About 25 minutes west of our Temple base, roughly 12 miles past Belton on US-190 (I-14).
The ground
Harker Heights sits in the rolling, stony uplands west of the Balcones Escarpment, so lots are often sloped with thin soil over limestone, especially on the ridges above Stillhouse Hollow Lake.
Homes and lots
Established neighborhoods such as Forest Hills, Highland Oaks, and Comanche Hills, newer subdivisions along Knights Way and FM 2410, and large homes on lots of an acre or more in The Ridge overlooking the lake.
Good to know
Permits go through the City of Harker Heights, lakeview subdivisions often have HOA design rules, steep lots can limit equipment access, and every dig starts with a Texas811 locate.

SERVICES IN HARKER HEIGHTS
Everything we do in Harker Heights.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN & BUILD
Sloped Harker Heights lots need a plan that handles grade and runoff first, with beds and plants chosen for thin, fast-draining soil over rock.
CONCRETE & HARDSCAPE
Patios and walks on hillside lots often need stepped pours or a cut into limestone to stay level, rather than a single flat slab.
IRRIGATION
On slopes, sprinkler zones need to be split by grade and run in short cycles so water soaks into thin soil instead of running down the hill.
PAVERS & HARDSCAPE
Retaining walls are common in Harker Heights because hillside lots near the lake need terraces to create usable, level outdoor space.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Lake-view lots in The Ridge are often laid out so outdoor kitchens and seating face the view across Stillhouse Hollow Lake.
OUTDOOR STRUCTURES
Pergolas and patio covers on hillside lots need footings set into rock and placement that works with wind exposure on the ridges.
TURF, FENCES & COURTS
Fence lines on sloped Harker Heights lots have to step with the grade, and artificial turf can be a practical answer where thin soil struggles to hold grass.
