Landscape Contractor in Highland Park

Highland Park is a 2.2-square-mile enclave north of downtown Dallas featuring early 1900s Mediterranean and Tudor estates on tree-lined boulevards with strict architectural preservation codes. Heavy clay soils and mature oak canopies dominate the landscape, requiring specialized drainage solutions and careful root management around heritage trees.

Highland Park

Landscape Contractor

Landscape Expertise Built for Highland Park's Unique Challenges

Highland Park's compacted clay soils and flat terrain create persistent drainage issues that standard landscaping approaches miss. We design grading and drainage systems that protect foundations and root health while maintaining the manicured aesthetic the neighborhood demands.

Mature oak canopies and heritage trees define Highland Park's streetscape, but they compete with turf and limit planting options. We work within the town's strict architectural guidelines to refresh planting beds, install shade-tolerant species, and manage root competition without compromising tree health.

Smaller lots and high visibility from multiple street frontages mean every design decision shows. Our landscape installations, patio work, and hardscape repairs are executed with the precision and attention to detail that Highland Park's premium properties require.

Robert did a fantastic job creating my black tejas gravel driveway with quarter inch steel borders. Reasonable price and high quality work.

I can’t say enough about Robert and his team from Green Matters Outdoor Design. From the very first contact with him to the very end was beyond my expectations. Excellent communication and so accommodating to my requests. I am so thrilled with the outcome. Better than I envisioned. My favorite part of the renovation is the addition of drip irrigation to this flowerbed which is full afternoon sun. I 100% recommend him for any landscaping projects and personally plan on more projects with him in the future!

We had Robert install a French drain for us. The work was done quickly and cleanly. Yard looks like he was never there. He was polite and communicated well. We felt the pricing was fair and within what we expected. I would contact him for future projects.

Robert did a great job with our sprinkler repair and maintenance. He also installed a new zone and a new controller so we can use it remotely through WiFi. He is very professional, reliable and does what he says. I will use them again and highly recommended Green Matters Outdoor Design.

Daniel Barron Google review · August 2026

Very professional, craftsman quality, they take pride in their work and it shows up in the final product. Made an ugly drainage issue in my yard the most attractive feature of the home exterior. Highly recommended,

Baxter2003a Google review · August 2026

I have a water feature in my yard that needed to be redone and Robert with Green Matters was responsive to my call and came to see the project the same day. He completed the job on the time he scheduled and had everything cleaned and back in place when he finished. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Excellent work, professional and great communication.

Tom Waters Google review · July 2026

Wonderful experience with installing a French drain. They came out for a quote quickly, scheduled the work within a few days, and got the job completed in one day and also made sure to clean up the area well before leaving. Work was clean and communication was very timely and transparent. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Tiffany Heredia Google review · July 2026

We had an amazing experience with Green Matters Outdoor Design. Robert was incredible to work with from start to finish. We communicated daily throughout the project, and he always kept us updated on the progress and made sure all of our questions were answered. From the first conversation, it was obvious he genuinely cared about doing the job right—not just getting it done. Isaac (My Husband) and I both enjoyed working with Robert. Isaac had plenty of laughs with him while Robert was working at our house, and that says a lot. It’s not often you find someone who’s knowledgeable, dependable, and makes the whole process enjoyable. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait for the next big rain to see these French drains in action! Based on our experience, we have every confidence they’ll do exactly what they’re supposed to. We were so happy with the experience that we’ll definitely be working with Robert again on future outdoor projects. We highly recommend Green Matters Outdoor Design to anyone looking for honest, quality work. Thank you, Robert!

Landscape Contractor FAQ for Highland Park

Common questions from Highland Park customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Highland Park's heavy clay soils and flat terrain cause water to pool near foundations and lawn areas. Poor grading fails within two seasons. We design grading and drainage systems that shed water safely away from structures while supporting healthy plantings.

Mature oaks create dense shade and root competition that kills standard turf. We select shade-tolerant plants, amend soil with organic matter to reduce compaction, and design planting beds that work with—not against—established root systems.

Highland Park's Mediterranean, Tudor, and Colonial estates call for pavers, stone, and masonry that complement 1920s–1940s architecture. We install patios, retaining walls, and landscape lighting that enhance curb appeal while respecting the town's design guidelines.

Yes. Clay soils require careful irrigation design to avoid overwatering and root rot. We install and maintain sprinkler systems and drip irrigation that deliver water efficiently while accounting for the soil's slow drainage and summer heat stress.
