Custom Pool Design

A custom-designed pool is often the centerpiece of a luxury outdoor space, and our pool design services in Dallas deliver results that are as functional as they are striking. Original Landscape Concepts designs swimming pools that range from sleek modern infinity pools and geometric lap pools to classically shaped recreational pools with integrated spas. We handle every aspect of pool design, including water features, sun shelves, beach entries, raised spas, fire bowls, and custom coping and decking materials. Our Dallas pool designs are always conceived as part of the larger landscape plan, ensuring seamless transitions between pool, hardscape, plantings, and outdoor living areas.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Dallas homeowners increasingly want to extend their living space outdoors, and Original Landscape Concepts designs outdoor living environments that rival the comfort and sophistication of interior rooms. Our outdoor living design services include custom outdoor kitchens with built-in grills and pizza ovens, covered pavilions and pergolas, comfortable seating areas with fireplaces and fire pits, dining terraces, and entertainment zones with integrated audio and lighting. We design each outdoor living space to complement the home's architecture and the client's entertaining style, creating inviting environments that are equally suited for intimate family evenings and large-scale gatherings. Every patio design considers sun exposure, prevailing winds, views, and privacy to ensure year-round enjoyment in the North Texas climate.

Hardscape Design & Construction

Hardscape is the structural backbone of any landscape, and our hardscape design services in Dallas deliver craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Original Landscape Concepts designs and oversees the construction of custom stone walls, walkways, driveways, motor courts, patios, retaining walls, steps, and raised planters using the finest natural stone, cut stone, brick, and concrete materials. We select materials that complement each home's architectural style, whether that calls for rustic Oklahoma flagstone, elegant limestone, modern concrete pavers, or hand-laid antique brick. Our patio contractors and stone masons execute every detail with precision, from perfectly laid mortar joints to expertly graded surfaces that manage drainage invisibly. The result is hardscape that looks effortless but performs flawlessly for decades. Browse our Historical Tudor in Lakewood and Modern Spanish Colonial projects to see our hardscape craftsmanship.

Garden Design

Beautiful gardens transform a property from a house with a yard into a true estate. Our garden design services in Dallas encompass formal gardens with structured hedging and parterre beds, English-inspired perennial borders, contemporary native plantings, shade gardens, culinary herb gardens, and cutting gardens. Original Landscape Concepts selects plant material that thrives in the North Texas climate, considering soil conditions, sun exposure, water requirements, and seasonal interest to create gardens that look stunning year-round. We design layered planting schemes that provide structure in winter, vibrant color in spring and fall, and lush texture throughout the summer months. Our garden designs often incorporate specimen trees, ornamental grasses, flowering shrubs, and groundcovers that reduce maintenance while maximizing visual impact.

Estate Master Planning

For large properties and luxury estates, a comprehensive master plan is essential. Original Landscape Concepts creates estate master plans that address every aspect of the outdoor environment, from entry drives and motor courts to pool complexes, gardens, sport courts, guest houses, and service areas. Our master planning process considers phased implementation, allowing homeowners to develop their property over time while maintaining a cohesive vision. We coordinate with architects, builders, and engineers to ensure the landscape plan integrates seamlessly with the built environment.
