We Provide Services to Create the Outdoor Space of Your Dreams

Alterra Landscape Design concentrates on two main areas: landscaping design and outdoor living. Your family can benefit from improving your outdoor space and creating an outdoor living area. You and your family can spend more time outdoors in the fresh air, and it gives your children a safe place to play and be kids. It also expands your living space.

Our team can help you create a backyard oasis where you can enjoy spending time with family, indulging in a meal outdoors, or, reading your favorite novel. By updating your outdoor space, you increase your curb appeal and increase the property value of your home. When you go to sell your home, this can make it easier to find a buyer at the price you want.

Outdoor Living

Landscape Design

We believe in our exploration-focused design process. During this process, we take the time to get to know you and your family. This helps us understand your unique needs and the things that matter most to you. It gives us a great starting point to create a design that's more than functional; it's your dream outdoor space.

We delve deep into the wants and desires of our clients to find that thing that can make their outdoor space special and meaningful to them. Once we find it, we incorporate it into the design and build your dream.

Outdoor Living

Once you get the design of your space committed to blueprints, it's time to build that outdoor space. Our team loves working on themes, such as a perfect outdoor kitchen or a hidden oasis. We're ready to build you a resort-style outdoor space that you and your family can enjoy for years to come. We can help you maintain the outdoor space and provide upgrades as your family grows and needs change.

Our team has years of experience helping others create stunning landscape designs while our landscape builders make those designs come to life in your yard. We want to make your outdoor space more functional for your next staycation or Friday night family meal. We help you find your ideal layout, materials, and furnishings for your lifestyle.

It's possible to concentrate on plants and flowers that are native to the area or opt for something a little more exotic. We're ready to help you navigate these decisions, so you get what you want from an outdoor kitchen that rivals a restaurant's set up to a sanctuary of peace and quiet.

What Our Customers Say

We know that you're looking for someone to listen to your dreams and turn them into an outdoor space you can enjoy. It's our goal to partner with you in your vision. It's okay to be doubtful. Here are some things our customers had to say about our services:

"It was a fantastic experience working with Jeff. He was able to differentiate between true requirements and crazy design wants, and helped us explore through the design process, so we could land on the right mix. He was transparent about pricing, responsive to questions and changes, and kept the project on schedule. His crews were very respectful of our property and obviously proud of their craftsmanship. We are thrilled with the results and would work with Jeff again in a heartbeat!" — Ruth Farrar on Google Review

Let’s Get Started!

We Invite All of Our Clients to Explore+Design+Build With Us to Redefine Their Dallas, Texas, Property

Creativity is the keystone of our landscaping services. Every project is built to highlight your design preferences, expectations for your outdoor space, and plans for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. We use our three-step Explore+Design+Build process to create signature landscapes for every client. At every step of the journey, we strive to bring you joy, unlimited possibilities, and luxurious design.

Explore: Concepts and Ideas

This step begins with our first visit to your site. We dig deep into your personal story through an interview-type conversation. We also begin to understand your home, the soil, sun condition, potential barriers, and other details that will become important. We go over the Design/Build Agreement and discuss how things work moving forward.

Our initial conversation flows into a "photo conversation," which consists of a Pinterest Board that we use to help us gain an idea of what landscaping elements you love. We want to discover something special about you and include it in your landscape design. Based on the photos you liked, our design team will draw sketches of a proposed design, always looking for your approval and interest.

Design: Details and Drawings

During this phase, we transform your concepts and ideas into one of our innovative designs. Our designers create detailed drawings, renderings, animation, and virtual modeling to show you the scope of what we are planning to build for you. We present it to you at a design meeting at your home. We respect your opinions, and therefore we take your design ideas and requests seriously.

The complete design package includes pricing, materials, labor, and subcontractors. We have been working with our installation teams for a long time, and they are competitive with their pricing. They do some of the highest quality work in the Dallas area. That's why we hire them. That being said, we work hard to match your budget.

A deposit is due upon the signing of the proposal. Alterra then facilitates the necessary permits and HOA approvals that are needed.

Build: Continuity and Implementation

The same manager you work with during the Explore and Design phases also manages the Build phase to ensure continuity within your project. Our goal is to build your landscape flawlessly in a coordinated manner while staying on schedule. During the build, we keep a standing meeting with you every day to keep you informed on the progress of your landscape. You are encouraged to keep close tabs along the way. In fact, we usually invite you to join us as we select materials. The placement of major elements, such as trees or walkways, require your direct approval.

As a professional landscaping company, it's our duty to build a safe and effective place for you and your family to spend quality time outdoors. During the build process, we remove trash and debris from your site daily. If a problem arises, we take care of the problem. It's our job to remain positive throughout the build phase and make sure you are completely satisfied with the final result.

Our high level of professional integrity insists that we stand behind our work. To ensure the longevity of your landscape, we offer lawn care, grounds management services, and more to keep your outdoor areas perfectly tailored to your home for years to come.

Explore +

Every journey starts with creative exploration. Our designers will meet with you and walk through your site to see and hear your vision firsthand. Following the visit, we'll create an initial plan and budget as part of our Design/Build Agreement. If you're ready to move forward and commit to a design deposit, our design team will create a personalized Pinterest board to start crafting a detailed plan. On this board, we'll work together to find just the right plants, fixtures, and exterior details to bring your vision to life. We have thousands of beautiful images of plants, layouts, and materials available, and no detail is too small to get our full attention.

Design +

At the design stage, we transform your selections into a complete design drawing that's tailored to flawlessly match your outdoor space and exceed your expectations. Our designers will plot out every square inch with exquisite hardscapes, lush plants, and the foundational irrigation and drainage systems to keep your outdoor oasis beautiful for years to come. We welcome you to make modifications, identify changes, and give candid feedback every time we meet to discuss the landscape design. We'll revise again and again until we get every detail just right. We want you to be overjoyed with the designs before we think of moving forward.

Build +

Before construction starts, we'll send the final designs to be vetted by experienced build teams we trust. They'll propose detailed, competitive pricing and scheduling options so the project stays in budget and on schedule. Once we've found the right builders for your unique landscape, we give you a completed design package with all the pricing details and available options regarding sizes, finishes, and landscape features. Once you're in love with the plan, we'll move forward with the signed Quote/Agreement and schedule your build for completion!

Let's Get Started!

Great job. Rain cased some delays but they were overcome. Jeff from Alterra created the backyard from design to execution with our involvement from a vision we had which we were able to verbalize. Personally seeing and picking out the individual plants with the owner of the company was an example of the personal attention we received. It was my wife’s project and she acted as Project Manager. But I got the majestic palm tree that I wanted!

Tim Gaffney - Murphy, TX

My wife and I recently worked with Jeff and Alterra to design and build a new deck and patio. Our previous deck was old and very unsafe for our son to play on. Jeff and his team were very easy to work with and Jeff’s main goal was to ensure our satisfaction. The final project came out great!

Nick Combe - Dallas, TX

We worked with Alterra on our backyard project and couldn’t be happier. Jeff and his crew were true professionals and so friendly. They incorporated all our “must-haves” with an amazing modern design and made sure we were happy with every detail of the project. Our backyard is now our favorite “room” in our home! We highly recommend them for any landscape renovation.

Nate Lane - Plano, TX

Jeff and his team did a fantastic job creating the perfect mid-century modern, front yard – all with water and sun-friendly, low water / low maintenance plants. We met with him once and he has was able to translate our style and decor inside our home and extend it to the front or our home. The work took less than a week and his team were professionals and they care and take pride in the work that they do. I can’t wait to do phase 2!

Beth Martin - Dallas, TX

Easy from beginning to end. After an initial design consultation and a few revisions to the original plan we landed on a design and plan that we were all excited about. A one day demo and installation was all it took for our yard to look better than it ever has. We had a party a few weeks later where we received so many compliments on it that it reassured us that it was money well spent. Thanks for all the help Jeff!

Craig Cardwell - Dallas, TX

Jeff with Alterra is awesome! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the job that he and his team did for our home. He came out and listened to our likes, dislikes and needs and put together a plan for us that fit our lifestyle and budget. The finished product is excellent. We highly recommend Jeff.

Kelly Forman - Dallas, TX

We are so happy we found Jeff and his team to redo our small backyard, which included taking down 2 huge trees. Jeff listens and very tactfully orients our suggestions (because sometimes they are unrealistic :p-) when necessary. From the initial planning to on-time delivery we felt confident and very comfortable. We love our new backyard!

Marguerite Storm - Addison, TX

I found my forever home but the yard looked like a wild jungle!!!! I searched and found Jeff, told him what I wanted and POOF! My dream house had a dream yard! He listens. He keeps you up to date. The workmen are fantastic! I started with the backyard. New deck, new fence, landscape. Couple of months later we fixed up the front. My neighbors can’t stop talking about it. I can’t recommend him enough.

Gillian Blaylock - Dallas, TX

I found these guys working in the neighborhood while jogging… I needed some serious work done on my front yard, including a retaining wall. Talked to Jeff on the job they were working on near by and he dropped by later that day… we made a plan and these guys executed with brilliance on time and on budget!!
