We maximized the front space of this lot by adding thick, lush plantings with a stone slab parking area and stone steps up to the front door. Plants at the front included various Sedge, Yew, Aralia, Hellebore, Rosemary and Japanese Maple to bring the space to life. Next to the swimming pool, a mixture of Arizona Cypress and Podocarpus were used to give extra privacy.

The stone slabs at the front of this house function as extra parking space, transitioning to a walking path to the front door. We softened the modern lines of the home with arching plant beds, a water feature and fire pit area. The pool in the courtyard was designed to complement the house and enhance the varying grade levels of the interior space. Lush planting beds and stepping stones were used again to soften the view.

The clients wanted some clean and modern additions to their home. Two arbors were built, one as a invitation over the main entry as well as a shelter for an outdoor kitchen. A pool was added to accentuate the views of the lake from the site along with a fire table to warm up the space.

A modern three-story townhome in the heart of Dallas ( Oak Lawn / Uptown/ Park Cities area) that had basically no landscape exterior character, is transformed to have multiple Outdoor Rooms – including a front entry with water feature and bench; and a 3rd floor terrace that greatly expands the living area year round.  A once inhospitable space, the 3rd floor terrace was converted into a year round entertaining space, with views out over the neighborhood including a covered dining space, with a glass ceiling that has the ability to be shaded by the sun with Sunbrella fabric shade – and ceiling fans to cool the space in the heat of summer. Also added are a built-in Ipe Wood Lounge area around a Cocktail Table/ Firepit; a Restoration Hardware Zinc fountain ( a favorite of the owner) and a Wood Bar added to the existing stone counter to give more options for dining and cocktails at the outdoor grill area.

This brand new construction was in need of a landscape to soften and shape the wide, spacious lot. The back of the house is full of floor-to-ceiling windows, so the pool and spa serve as perfect focal points to lead the eye outside. Planters delegate various outdoor living spaces, adding texture and depth.
