The owners of this new home, situated in the esteemed Park Cities, envisioned a transitional architectural style that gracefully melds classic elements with fresh, bright features. From the outset, our office was integrally involved, which, as we’ve underscored previously, invariably culminates in superior outcomes due to our meticulous site planning analysis conducted during the home’s pre-construction phase. This planning scrutinizes every condition that might influence construction integrity and the long-term enjoyment of the home.

As Park Cities Landscape Architects, we collaborated with architect Christy Blumenfeld, interior designer Tracy Hardenburg, and home builder Tatum Brown, playing a pivotal role in all facets of this University Park project. However, the outdoor entertainment space was a focal point of particular interest. This versatile space can be screened off from two directions, crafting a secluded gathering space, or opened up to the pool and spa to accommodate larger assemblies. It features a year-round climate control system, discreetly integrated into the wood-paneled ceiling, and floors adorned with black and white hand-painted tiles, crafted in South America. All electronic iron gates within and surrounding the property, as well as handrails, were designed, custom-built, and installed by our office, ensuring a cohesive and elegant aesthetic throughout. As Dallas landscape architects, we seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring every outdoor space is not only beautiful but also perfectly tailored to the client’s lifestyle and entertainment needs. Our reputation as one of the best landscape designers in Dallas is upheld by our commitment to excellence, meticulous attention to detail, and our ability to create spaces that are both visually stunning and inherently functional.

Services from Park Cities Landscape Architects

For the Baltimore project, Harold Leidner Landscape Architects provided comprehensive design and installation services, covering custom perimeter security gates, a pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, outdoor recreation areas, exterior lighting, and drainage. Our team meticulously planned every detail to ensure the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces was both functional and aesthetically pleasing, reflecting our commitment to excellence as Park Cities Landscape Architects.

Outdoor Kitchen Construction

The outdoor kitchen at the Baltimore project perfectly blends transitional architectural style with functional layout. We harmonized traditional and contemporary design elements to create a dynamic space suitable for both casual family dinners and entertaining guests. The design reflects Baltimore’s architectural charm and includes shade structures to provide relief from the sun. By using similar materials and design elements, we created a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments, complemented by greenery to soften the hardscape and add a touch of nature to the area.

Park Cities Custom Pool and Spa Design

Our pool and spa design for this Park Cities project combined classic elegance with modern appeal. We incorporated ornate detailing and symmetrical lines to complement the architectural nuances of the home, ensuring a perfect fit within the context. The layout ensures a flow between the pool, spa, outdoor recreation area, and surrounding landscape, creating a unified space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Modern features, such as elegant fountains and sophisticated lighting, enhance the visual appeal and create a serene atmosphere. Learn more about our custom pool design services.

Outdoor Recreation Areas

The outdoor recreation area was a focal point of the Baltimore project. We created a versatile space that can be screened off from two directions for a secluded gathering space or opened up to the pool and spa for larger assemblies. Features include a year-round climate control system, discreetly integrated into the wood-paneled ceiling, and floors adorned with black and white hand-painted tiles from South America. Transitional-style pavilions provide functional and aesthetically pleasing structures for shade, entertainment, and outdoor gatherings. Discover our outdoor recreation services.

Exterior Lighting

Modern lighting fixtures were strategically placed to illuminate key features of the outdoor space during the evenings, enhancing the transitional design elements and creating an inviting atmosphere. Customized lighting designs highlight architectural features and create a magical ambiance during evening hours, improving the usability of the pool and spa area after sunset. Downlighting techniques illuminate trees, shrubs, perimeter walls, and pottery, complementing the timeless and classic appeal of Park Cities architecture. Learn about our exterior design services.
