Before: The Original Structure & Landscape Reimagined

Prior to installing the new landscape, the homeowner tore down the original structures and built an entirely new home on the property, creating a clean slate for a fresh native and organic landscape redesign in Grapevine, TX.

🌿 Project Overview: A Front & Back Yard Landscape with Local Inspiration

The homeowner wanted a natural yet refined garden modeled after the flowing, immersive feel of the Grapevine Botanical Garden — and wanted this aesthetic applied seamlessly across both outdoor living spaces. Our goal was to deliver a front and back yard landscape that feels rooted in the local North Texas environment while remaining easy to maintain.

Stone retaining walls designed and constructed by Marshall Grain wrap around the entire property to provide front and back yard continuity.

Grapevine, Texas Landscape Redesign Front Yard Highlights

• Texas native perennials and drought-tolerant adapted plants create structure, texture, and seasonal color that thrive in Grapevine’s soil and North Texas climate.

• Stone pathways improve movement and enhance the home’s arrival and curb appeal experience from the street.

• Low-voltage landscape lighting adds safety and gives the front yard evening curb appeal.

Backyard patio and retaining walls incorporate a fire pit and water feature.

Back Yard Highlights

• A redesigned garden layout creates a private, peaceful retreat behind the home for everyday living and entertaining.

• Expanded hardscaping adds functional outdoor living areas for relaxation or entertaining around the fire pit and water feature.

• Native shade and understory plants improve comfort, reduce water use, and support local ecology by attracting pollinators and beneficial wildlife.

• Integrated landscape lighting highlights key features and extends nighttime enjoyment across the entire back yard.

Together, the updated front and back yards form a unified, climate-resilient outdoor environment perfect for Grapevine and other North Texas living.

1. Design Visioning Session — Inspired by the nearby Grapevine Botanical Garden and tailored to the homeowner’s preferred style and maintenance needs.

2. Hardscape Installations — Stone pathways, garden borders, and patio elements were completed first to set the structural layout and ensure consistent grades and drainage.

3. Native & Adapted Planting Strategy — Carefully selected species thrive in Grapevine’s soil and climate conditions, with an emphasis on Texas natives and drought-tolerant adapted plants.

4. Organic-First Approach — All plantings were installed using organic methods and natural soil amendments, such as compost, wood mulch, and mineral supplements, to foster long-term soil and plant health.

5. Lighting Integration — Thoughtfully placed low-voltage lighting enhances visibility, ambiance, and nighttime beauty while emphasizing key plants and hardscape elements.
