The Summerwood™ community was built to last. Not just the homes themselves, but the grounds on which they rest. And the parks in between them. And the lakes beside them. That's why the Texas Council of Engineering Companies awarded Summerwood the Silver Medal for our ongoing efforts to preserve 150 acres of wetlands that enhance open spaces and provide habitat for native species.

Walk
We've made getting exercise and being green even easier with walking trails that connect you to everything within Summerwood. It's a great way you can take steps to reduce your carbon footprint.

Plant
Houston's climate lends itself to lush landscaping. And the Summerwood community does its part to keep it green by using organic fertilizer. So not only are your surroundings beautiful, they're kind to the planet.

Conserve
Every single one of our builders works to exceed Energy Star® home requirements. That means better windows, precise duct work, and high grade insulation. It saves more than money, it preserves our climate.

Recycle
Not only do we pick up commonly recycled items, Newland Communities in Houston provides opportunities for difficult hazardous waste recycling like batteries and paint cans.

Storm Sewers
We make spotting storm sewers easy with signs on each one. This educates and encourages people to eliminate liquid or solid substances from flowing untreated into area waterways.
