Landscape Design & Build in Westlake, TX

Westlake is a town of distinct estate communities, from the guard-gated, golf-centered setting of Vaquero to the wooded homesites of Glenwyck Farms and the gated enclave of Terra Bella. The Town of Westlake notes that most of its communities are governed by HOAs. Blooming Colors Nursery & Landscape Design designs and installs landscapes, custom Desjoyaux concrete pools and outdoor living spaces for estate properties like these, working from our garden center in Grapevine, roughly 8 miles from Vaquero.

Outdoor kitchen and patio contractor in Westlake, TX

Blooming Colors Nursery & Landscape Design is an outdoor kitchen and patio contractor for Westlake homes, including Vaquero, Glenwyck Farms and Terra Bella, and has designed and built North Texas outdoor living spaces since 1994. In-house designers plan outdoor kitchens with grills, refrigerators, mini fridges, sinks, bars and counter seating, along with pergolas in wood, steel or aluminum, patios and walkways in pavers, porcelain, travertine or natural stone, and fireplaces, fire pits and landscape lighting. All of it is drawn as one plan that can be submitted for HOA review. Our own installation teams build it, and every outdoor kitchen, patio, pergola and fire feature carries the Best in Texas Warranty: one year, replaced once, labor included.

Designing within community guidelines

Neighborhoods such as Vaquero are known for strong architectural and landscape guidelines that keep the community cohesive. A good design respects those guidelines from the first drawing. We plan materials, plant palettes, lighting and structures with your HOA's review in mind, and we can prepare the plan you need to submit. You are responsible for confirming your HOA's current requirements, and we build to the approved plan.

Landscapes in the Cross Timbers

Westlake sits in the Eastern Cross Timbers, where native woodland of post oak, cedar elm and other hardwoods meets open meadow; the town is even home to the Cross Timbers Ridge Conservation Area. Many Westlake homesites are wooded, with mature oaks and pecans. We design around those trees, choose plants suited to North Texas clay, summer heat and sudden cold snaps, and use drainage planning, guided by our in-house Soil & Water Engineer from Texas A&M, where grading and runoff are a concern on larger sites.

Estate-scale outdoor living

On an acre or more, a backyard can hold several connected spaces. We design and build custom Desjoyaux concrete pools with pipe-less filtration (salt water optional) and a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty from Desjoyaux, poolside pavilions and pergolas in wood, steel or aluminum, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and fire pits, and landscape lighting that ties the whole property together after dark, all with Certified Belgard hardscape products, Artistic Pavers, Daltile Xteriors porcelain pavers, travertine and natural stone.

Ongoing estate management

Large properties need consistent care. Our Estate Management team handles detailed mowing, edging and weed removal, fertilization and pre-emergent, detailed pruning, bed detailing, hardwood mulch, leaf collection, seasonal color changes and seasonal irrigation adjustment.

Plan the property before choosing individual features

A Westlake landscape can be planned as a sequence of spaces rather than a collection of separate additions. Share your community guidelines early, along with the features you want to retain and the outdoor areas you use most. The design can then consider planting, walkways, patio layout and lighting together. Confirm current city and HOA requirements for your particular project before work begins.

  • How should the entry and backyard feel connected?
  • Which mature trees and views should shape the layout?
  • Will the project be built together or in coordinated phases?
