Sometimes the only direction we get from a new client is “I really like so & so’s landscape.” In this instance, the client desired a classic parterre garden, a concept with which we are familiar as a prominent Dallas landscape design company. The challenge with this type of landscape often pertains to scale. Our office, backed by experts in Dallas landscape architecture, discerned that the boxwoods needed to be meticulously sculpted and positioned at the proper distance from this Highland Park house to establish a cohesive connection to the residence. If there had not been sufficient space in front of the boxwoods, the effect would have translated as cluttered and unorganized instead of stately and elegant, a testament to the expertise of top landscape architects in Dallas. The custom pool design with a spa in the middle of the house creates a serene view throughout rooms of the house and provides a relaxing outdoor environment for the home owners.

Gardens sculpted with this caliber of precision undeniably require meticulous maintenance, which we proudly provide as part of our comprehensive service offering, ensuring the sustainability of our Dallas landscape design. The project, from design through installation, spanned about a year and was a collaborative effort with residential architect Richard Drummund Davis, showcasing the harmonious blend of architecture and landscape design that our Dallas landscape architects are renowned for.

Lakeside Landscape Architecture Services

We take our clients’ vision and needs into account, creating a unique design that complements the Lakeside property and lifestyle. Our comprehensive services included landscape and garden design, custom pool and spa, and an outdoor pavilion kitchen. Our work also encompassed mature tree acquisition, classical garden design, and drainage solutions.

Dallas Custom Pools Design in Lakeside

Our expertise in creating custom pool and spa designs is evident at Lakeside. The pool features a distinctive oval design, carefully crafted to complement the property’s aesthetics, creating a visually stunning focal point. We used high-end materials for the pool and designed a custom stone hardscape around it, ensuring connectivity between the house interior and the pool. The custom pool design with a spa in the middle provides a serene view from the house and a relaxing outdoor environment. Surrounding the pool, lush green plants and trees add a natural touch to the landscape. We created dedicated relaxation areas beside the pool, offering serene spaces for lounging, with tanning benches strategically placed for sunbathing and enjoying the poolside atmosphere.

Custom Garden Design in Dallas

Our classical garden design features formal layouts with mirrored elements on either side of a central axis, creating a sense of order and harmony. We incorporated geometric shapes in pathways, hedges, and planting beds for a structured and elegant feel. Adding fountains and a custom pool and spa adds a touch of tranquility and movement, reminiscent of Roman and Greek gardens. Using natural stone, brick, or pavers for walkways, patios, and edging creates a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. Strategically placed plants add formality and classical elegance, while sourcing and transplanting established trees creates an instant sense of maturity and grandeur. We optimized plant selection and placement based on sunlight, ensuring proper soil drainage and fertility to promote healthy plant growth.

Dallas Outdoor Kitchens Design Services

Our custom design plan considered factors like the scale of the Lakeside property, tree placement, pool, and the home’s architectural style. We created a stunning pavilion kitchen, incorporating elegant roofing and open-air elements for a luxurious and functional entertaining space. Expertly installed fireplaces within the outdoor kitchen add warmth, ambiance, and a beautiful focal point for gatherings, allowing year-round enjoyment. We incorporated classic design elements like support columns, creating grandeur and architectural interest. Durable and stylish tile and stone flooring options ensure a beautiful and weather-resistant surface. Classical seating arrangements and furniture exude elegance and comfort, creating a truly inviting outdoor living space. Discover our outdoor structure design services.
