Transforming a Dallas Backyard into a Functional Family Retreat

When a local contractor contacted us about an exciting backyard project in Dallas, Texas, we were eager to bring their vision to life. The homeowners had recently built an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to create a welcoming space for their in-laws. To complement this new addition, they wanted a backyard that was as practical as it was inviting.

Our process began with an in-depth concept development phase, where we worked closely with the homeowners to uncover how they intended to use the space. Was it a place for family gatherings, tranquil mornings, or easy access between the main house and ADU? Every detail was carefully considered to ensure the final design would align with their lifestyle and needs.

Landscaping Designed for the Dallas Climate

For the landscaping, we relied on our comprehensive database of U.S. native plants, focusing on species well-suited to the Dallas climate. By selecting plants adapted to local conditions, we created a low-maintenance, resilient landscape that could withstand Texas summers while offering year-round beauty.

The design included flowing pathways that naturally connected the main house to the ADU, comfortable seating areas shaded by thoughtfully placed greenery, and a mix of native flowering perennials and grasses that brought texture and color to the space. The result was a backyard that felt intentionally crafted and deeply tied to the environment.
