Enhancing Your North Texas Curb Appeal with Thoughtful Landscaping
Good landscape design is more than just placing a tree here or a pathway there. It’s about taking into account your entire landscape and the role it plays in your property. We create designs that enhance your North Texas property’s curb appeal and warrant a second glance.
Hardscape & Softscape Integration
Softscapes include plants and soil, while hardscapes include stones, rocks, brick, concrete, wood, and metal. Our designers know how to combine the natural beauty of softscaping with the practicality of hardscaping. Imagine sitting on a porch overlooking a beautiful garden. We’ll create a balance between hardscapes and softscapes so that one doesn’t overwhelm the other.
Sustainable & Low-Maintenance Landscaping Design Options
Creating a dream-like landscape doesn’t have to be bad for the environment, and it doesn’t have to take a lot of work to maintain. We can utilize native plants, xeriscapes, zeroscapes, and hardscapes to create a landscape that benefits the environment and doesn’t require a great deal of water. Xeriscapes are landscapes that feature plants that require minimum water, while zeroscapes typically feature only a handful of plants, if any. By utilizing materials like stones and hardscapes, you’ll spend less time mowing or trimming.

FAQs
While what is included in professional landscape design may differ based on the designer/company, the following includes common elements:
A Consultation and Site Analysis
A landscape designer should hold a consultation with a prospective client and conduct a site analysis of the area in which they will be designing the landscape. This allows the landscape designer to learn the prospective client’s ideas and goals for their property and see the property for themselves to understand it better.
Designing
Based on what the landscape designer has learned about the client’s preferences and what they observed during the site analysis, they’ll create drawings or digital designs of landscape options. These illustrations or digital images will allow the client to understand what the final landscape design will look like. During this phase, you can discuss the design and possible changes after viewing the design.
Construction Plan
Once the design has been finalized following a meeting to present the design to the client, the landscape designer will create a construction plan. The landscape designer may be part of the company that creates the landscape, or you may need to hire another company. Small changes to the design may still be possible during this phase. This plan will need to be given to the landscape installation company if you are working with a separate company.
Maintenance Plan
The designer can explain the maintenance needs of your new landscape, and may give you a written plan for you or your landscape maintenance company. Topics like plant care and how to prevent erosion may be covered.
When it comes to selecting the best landscape design for your yard, there are several factors you need to keep in mind. These factors include the following:
Who Will Use the Yard
Take into account who will use the yard and how they’ll use it. Do children or pets play in it? Does it get used for hosting social gatherings? Depending on the size of your yard, you may be able to utilize spaces in your yard for different purposes.
Take Plant Growth and Maintenance Needs Into Account
Over time, plants and their roots grow, taking up more space. A plant’s growth rate, full size, and maintenance needs must be taken into account. Please note that a plant’s full size tends to be based on ideal growth conditions, and the plants in your yard may be larger or smaller. These plants must be carefully placed to avoid damaging homes, underground pipes, and crowding out other plants as they grow and their roots expand.
Themes
Planning a theme can help unify your landscape design. A theme doesn’t have to be complex; it can be as simple as using certain forms, shapes, or colors in your yard. It can also be more detailed, like an Oriental garden.
Hiring a professional landscape designer offers several benefits. The following are a few examples.
Budgeting
A reputable landscape designer can design a landscape that stays within your budget. They can also help you understand the maintenance costs associated with your landscape.
A Plan Based on Knowledge and Experience
A reputable landscaping professional can create a plan that combines details with the big picture. They can guide you in selecting plants, materials, colors, and other design elements.
Save Yourself Time
Creating a landscape design can be time-consuming. A landscape designer can dedicate the time it takes to create and refine a design.
While the amount of time it takes to design a landscape can vary, the following are a few estimates based on the complexity of the designs.
-Small and basic designs: one to two weeks
-Medium-sized designs: three to six weeks
-Large and complex designs: two to four months
