Building a new landscape — whether a full backyard transformation, large-scale commercial installation, or a simple design upgrade — can dramatically enhance the beauty, functionality, and long-term value of your property. But many homeowners and commercial clients in Dallas–Fort Worth aren’t fully aware of how the landscape build process works or what to expect when hiring a professional design-build team.
A well-executed landscape construction project should feel organized, clear, and exciting from start to finish. At Lawns of Dallas, we’ve refined a proven design-build process that takes the guesswork out of outdoor construction and delivers high-quality, enduring results tailored to the unique climate and soil conditions of North Texas.
Here’s a step-by-step guide that walks you through what happens during a professional landscape build in Dallas.
