River birches and weeping cedars make a strong statement. In the background to the right are three green Japanese Maples and an Oak Leaf Hydrangea.

Dallas Landscaping Rule of Three: River Birches and Cedars.  This is a perfect example of how you can take a large home’s landscape design and incorporate it into your smaller landscaping palette.

Oak trees are the most important landscaping decision in Texas and Dallas that you will make. Nothing will add more value to your landscape than an oak. This features holly fern and caladiums, a classic combination.  Japaneses maples and a crape myrtle add focus and are almost guaranteed to do well in Texas.

An oak tree grounds this landscape with holly fern and mahonia, another classic combination.  The caladium bulbs can be dug up each fall and replanted in the spring.
