BELL COUNTY
AGAVES LANDSCAPE IN MORGAN’S POINT RESORT, TX
Morgan’s Point Resort is a small lake city of about 4,600 people (2020 census) on the eastern shore of Belton Lake, bordered by Temple to the south. It was developed on land owned by the James E. Morgan family and incorporated in 1970, and today it mixes lakefront, lake-access, and inland lots on wooded streets.
About 8–10 road miles northwest of our Temple base, roughly 15–20 minutes.
The ground
The city sits on wooded ground with limestone bluffs above the lake, so many lots are sloped and rocky, and some carry federal flowage easements near the shoreline.
Homes and lots
Older homes in the original Morgan’s Point sections, newer HOA neighborhoods such as Rancho Del Lago, Sobrante Ridge, Holly Oaks Landing, and Cliffs at Lake Belton, and a mix of lakefront and off-water lots, with no citywide HOA.
Good to know
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns the land around Belton Lake out to marked boundary lines and private docks are not allowed, so work stays on the private side of the line; the city issues minor project permits for things like fences, and some neighborhoods have their own HOA rules.

SERVICES IN MORGAN’S POINT RESORT
Everything we do in Morgan’s Point Resort.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN & BUILD
Lake lots in Morgan’s Point Resort need a plan that stops at the Corps of Engineers boundary and works with existing trees and slopes toward the water.
CONCRETE & HARDSCAPE
Sloped, rocky lots above Belton Lake often need excavation into limestone and careful drainage so patio runoff does not wash soil toward the shoreline.
IRRIGATION
Shallow soil over rock dries quickly here, so sprinkler zones need to be matched to slope and sun rather than run on one schedule.
PAVERS & HARDSCAPE
Retaining walls and stepped paver terraces are the usual way to create level space on the bluff and lake-slope lots in Morgan’s Point Resort.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Outdoor kitchens and seating on lakefront and lake-view lots are usually oriented toward Belton Lake and kept on the private side of the Corps boundary.
OUTDOOR STRUCTURES
Pergolas and pavilions cannot go on Corps land or in restricted easement areas, so placement on lake lots starts with knowing where the boundary monuments are.
TURF, FENCES & COURTS
Fences need a city minor project permit, and fencing toward the lake has to follow the Corps rules for the government boundary and flowage easements.
