Swiss
An established garden on Swiss Avenue, enhanced rather than replaced. We reshaped the lawn into a clean oval, circled it with new brick paths, and tucked seating areas into the shaded corners. New layers of shade planting, including oakleaf hydrangeas, hellebores, ferns, and clipped boxwood, now surround the pieces that were already there: the tiered…

Riverview
A North Dallas garden completed in collaboration with Alair Homes and Advance Pools. A new pool and a deck with a fire pit had left the outdoor spaces feeling cut up, so we designed the garden to tie them back together. Rows of trees and hedges screen the property lines, a new paver drive and…

Kessler Park 2
A planting refresh for a mid-century modern home in Kessler Park. Along the house, the bed is narrow and shaded by the deep roof overhang, which made it right for a single line of cast iron plant. Its dark green reads cleanly against the stacked stone and holds up where little else will. In front,…

Kessler Park 1
A contemporary garden for a modern Kessler Park home. A new Ipe deck and steps lead to the entry through layered grasses and steel-edged beds. A raised Corten steel planter spills with Mexican feather grass and sedum, and agave sits in dark slate mulch, keeping the planting spare and sculptural against the home’s clean lines.…

Kips Bay 2021
Our garden for the 2021 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, on a Preston Hollow estate large enough to need definition and focus. Starting where the rear terrace and pool decking end, we built custom wood trellises, stained in Benjamin Moore Silhouette, to enclose a series of garden rooms and frame views into the rest…

Barberry
One of our favorite gardens. The clients came to us for a new pool, and the project grew into a complete redesign of the back garden and a new decomposed granite driveway. We used it as a chance to do something we had never done before: a round pool with brick coping. The brick carries…

Fouts
A 1950 Kessler Park bungalow transformed into a house with French and Louisiana character, in the spirit of A. Hays Town and Charles Dilbeck. The garden follows that lead with brick and limestone, fountains, and a series of rooms. The lot started as a tangle of bamboo and hackberry. The garage faced the street, so…

Devonshire
A new front garden for a low-slung modern home in Devonshire, designed to give the house a real sense of arrival. A gravel drive and parking area now handle cars. Along the street, a long Corten steel planter holds a row of trident maples over ornamental grasses, with a Corten steel block carrying the house…
[ Why clients choose Outside ]
One team. From design through care.
Design, construction, and long-term garden care — connected from the start and carried
through every phase.
Architecture-driven design
Every garden begins with the architecture — its lines, materials, and character. We design the landscape to strengthen the connection between inside and out.
Grounded in horticulture
Plants are chosen for our climate, site conditions, and how they’ll grow in relationship to the architecture and garden around them.
Clear process. Proactive communication.
Defined scope, transparent budgets, and honest communication at every stage.
Built with care
The same level of detail that goes into the design goes into how it’s built — materials, sequencing, and every decision that influences the long-term growth of the garden.
