Landscape Design Southlake, TX

Where Luxury Outdoor Living Meets Texas Scale

Southlake doesn't whisper. When your driveway is longer than most people's yards and your backyard could host a wedding (and probably will), your outdoor design needs to match that scale. This is resort-living territory—where outdoor kitchens rival Michelin-starred restaurants, custom pools demand sophisticated engineering, and "just a simple patio" means 2,000 square feet of travertine.

We design landscapes for the ambition Southlake demands.

What Makes Southlake Landscape Design Different?

You've got 1-2 acres, maybe more. A custom home that photographs like a magazine cover. Kids who need yard space to roam, adults who need entertainment areas, and a lifestyle that happens as much outdoors as in.

The challenge isn't fitting everything in—it's creating functional zones that feel intentional, not empty. That front yard approach needs curb appeal drama. The pool and patio area should feel like a destination resort, not just "the back forty." Those massive side yards aren't dead space; they're opportunities for sport courts, garden design, dog runs, or the bocce court your spouse keeps mentioning.

We've designed Southlake landscape projects long enough to know the pattern: custom diving pools with water features, spa jets, and tanning ledges. Waterfront properties requiring pond dredging and comprehensive drainage solutions. Outdoor living complexes with eight-layer lighting designs—moonlights in trees, path lighting, architectural uplights, string lights over patios. Outdoor kitchens that make the indoor one jealous. Multiple fire features and seating areas because one gathering spot isn't enough.

And yes, we make it cohesive—resort luxury without looking like a country club had a yard sale on your property.
