Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is that amazing landscaping is not only visually beautiful but also draws you in through all five senses.

Sight

Color, light, movement, shadow. We create picturesque views from all angles and throughout the season to make sure you’ll see your property through new eyes every single time.

Smell

It’s more than just taking time to stop and smell the roses. We create an inviting space where you will want to relax and savor the fresh air, sweetened by our plants and flowers.

Sound

Attracting birds through various blooms and berries can brighten your getaway with birdsong, and features like a fire pit or a pond can add soothing sounds to your sanctuary.

Touch

Take off your shoes and make yourself at home in your outdoor home, feel the grass under your feet, touch the velvety flowers and leaves, or splash around in a cooling water feature.

Taste

We add a little flavor to your life with fresh herbs and vegetables to incorporate into your favorite recipes.

Benefits

Benefits

Improved Health

Improved mental and physical health through therapeutic relaxation and time spent outdoors.

Home Enhancement

The enhancement of your home through a work of art that you can walk into and enjoy from within brings the sense of excitement and accomplishment of adding to your home and the anticipation of each new element as your garden grows and changes through the seasons and with each new visitor.

Privacy + Security

The privacy and security created through subtle, natural placement of plants and materials.

Spiritual Connection

The spiritual connection and tranquility of being “one with nature.”

Pride

A sense of pride in the appearance of your home and business and the good impression others take away from that appearance.

Quality of Life

An opportunity and place for time with the family and increased quality of life.

New Interests

New hobbies and interests in gardening, horticulture, and collecting plants and garden art.

Seasonal Excitement

We blend plants with various colors and textures to incorporate interest for every season. We like to ensure that there is always something exciting to look at, even when the garden is dormant.

Beautiful Spaces

As you walk through the garden, each step will reveal a new view into the garden and to the spaces created within.

"We want to thank all of you for a job that is so pleasing, not only to us, but also to our friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers who come along and ask to take a peek. Each day there seems to be something else in bloom that catches our eyes. We have had many comments on the variety of plants, the lighting, the water feature, the stone planter, and the layout of the entire outdoor space. Thank you for all that you have done to put the finishing touches on the project and your patience in coming back to tweak a few things. We now know why "Landscapes by Dallas Foster" needs no further explanation when we tell people who did our yard. We're going to miss seeing all of you, and we look forward to working with you again."
