Inspiration for a mediterranean front yard landscaping in Dallas.

The owners of this beautiful Westport residence wanted to renew their 100 foot long perennial border. We reimagined both garden spaces and planted them exclusively with white-blooming annuals and perennials that bring a calm, classic, and cohesive look to the oasis-like property. In the front, we installed custom iron trellises provide the perfect backdrop for roses and other vines trained gracefully against the brick portico. Each year, the property gets a seasonal refresh with custom container plantings throughout, including the parterre.

…they provide access from one space to another but should always provide a sense of beauty or interest along the way. Getting to where you are going should be half the fun of any destination.

Design ideas for a traditional full sun front yard landscaping in Oklahoma City for summer.

A rustic walkway of irregular bluestone and a garden space heavily dependant upon texture: the robust foliage of Hosta and the feathery fronds of Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris), contrast well with the delicacy of the Variegated Ribbon Grass (Phalaris arundinacea var. picta) across the path. A lot of interest can be generated within a small plant palette.

View of the house, main patio, pool and spa area, lawn and seat wall with trellis. Throughout the landscape, we mixed formality with touches of whimsy -- spiral topiary boxwood, bright dashes of colorful flowers, contrasting textures. Poolside trellises frame the greenery and visually link the surrounding area back to the trellised main patio. A set of striped chaise lounges provide outdoor relaxation and a view of the lawn.
