Under the leadership of principal designer Melissa Gerstle, the firm provides comprehensive landscape design services aimed at enhancing residential properties.

For a recent project in Highland Park, the team implemented a meticulously curated plant selection, introducing rich layers of greenery that harmoniously contrast with established mature trees in the area. This approach not only highlights the natural beauty of the surroundings but also establishes a serene atmosphere.

The firm emphasizes collaboration, working hand-in-hand with clients and their respective architects, designers, and builders. This teamwork ensures the development of outdoor spaces that invite enjoyment, whether it be areas for gathering, dining, playful activities, or relaxation. From structured formal gardens and entertaining pickleball courts to secluded koi ponds, Melissa Gerstle Design creates enchanting environments that extend beyond mere aesthetics, offering clients magical settings for outdoor living.
In the Dallas region, From the Ground Up Landscape has been revitalizing outdoor spaces since 2005. Founders Dan Houchard and Ryan Burkhart harness their combined expertise to operate this full-service landscape design firm. Their services encompass a wide range of enhancements, from the installation of elegant pools, stunning pergolas, and soothing fountains to the implementation of critical functional features such as irrigation systems, fences, walkways, and driveways.
Each project is tailored to complement the unique aesthetic of the home. For instance, a contemporary residence might feature a striking infinity-edge pool, while a more traditional estate could benefit from a beautifully designed tree-lined terrace.
