The masterplan, working drawings for paved areas and rockwork along a natural creek, and planting plans for all areas--including a newly designed parkland--transformed this large property in Dallas, Texas. Our design features a creek running through the garden with waterfalls and a grotto, a large parkland lake, sweeping parkland drive and extensive tree planting. A series of interconnected formal gardens around the house leads to a herb garden, rose garden, a hedged kitchen garden and greenhouse.
The understanding and learning about the local climate and flora was of major importance, achieved by exploring natural landscapes, visiting other gardens and detailed observation.
