Distinctive outdoor living spaces designed with creativity, expertise, and purpose.

At Alterra Landscape Design, we know your outdoor space is more than a yard. It is where your family gathers, where friends are welcomed, and where you retreat for peace. Our landscape design services in Southlake, Texas are focused on creating meaningful spaces that look beautiful, function seamlessly, and reflect your lifestyle.

When you work with us, you benefit from a thoughtful process guided by three commitments: extraordinary designs, exceptional execution, and a best-in-class client experience. With our team, you get more than a plan on paper — you gain a space that enhances your home and becomes part of your life.

Why Landscape Design Matters for Your Home

Many homeowners struggle with a yard that feels unfinished or hard to use. A piecemeal approach to landscaping often leads to wasted money, mismatched materials, and plants that do not thrive in the Texas climate. Our design process solves these problems.

We create a master plan that brings together plants, hardscapes, and outdoor living structures so everything feels connected. Our local expertise means we recommend materials and plantings that stand up to Texas heat and grow healthier year after year. With Alterra Landscape Design, you do not need to juggle multiple contractors or worry about missing details — we handle design and build from start to finish, giving you confidence in both the process and the result.

We couldn't be happier with the landscaping project for our backyard done by Alterra Design. Everything went so smoothly from the initial meeting and design to the project execution. The result is just what I envisioned, perhaps even better. Communication throughout the process was excellent, too.
