Tight urban lots, dramatic vertical builds.
Dallas projects — especially Highland Park, University Park, Lakewood, and Preston Hollow — solve a different problem: small lots, tall fences, and neighbors twenty feet away. We build vertically here. Outdoor fireplaces with chimneys that double as privacy walls. Pergolas with full louvered roofs. Vertical garden walls behind the grill.
Dallas urban backyards force every element to multitask. A fireplace also becomes the privacy wall. A bar counter also becomes the seat back. A planter also becomes the lighting plinth.
Compact lot sizes reward vertical design and clever screening.
Park Cities and Lakewood have strict tree preservation ordinances — we work around protected canopy.
Older homes often need utility upgrades (gas line resizing, panel capacity) before the outdoor build can start.

Built-in grills, pizza ovens, refrigeration, and stone counters — sized to Dallas lots.

Gas and wood-burning features designed for Dallas Proper winds and material vernacular.

Shade structures, pavilions, and full outdoor living rooms for the Dallas climate.
City of Dallas permitting and HPP/UP municipal review are separate processes with distinct rules. Highland Park and University Park have their own tree ordinances — we obtain tree surveys before design finalization.
Free consultation, on-site walk-through, and a fixed-scope proposal — usually within two weeks.
