How Splendid Gardens Became a Top Choice for Landscape Design in Dallas

Tuesday, April 01, 2025 | By: Splendid Gardens LLC

At Splendid Gardens, we don’t often stop to reflect—we’re too busy designing, building, pruning, planting, and problem-solving across Dallas and North Texas. But recently, we had a moment that made us pause and smile: we were featured in Synkd magazine, a publication that celebrates innovation, creativity, and leadership in the landscape industry. It’s an honor—and it’s also a story worth sharing.

From the cleanliness of their equipment, to the quality of their work, no detail escapes Elizabeth's keen eye

Creativity, Grit, and a Little Bit of Dirt Under the Nails

The Synkd feature tells the story of how our founder, Elizabeth Hark, took a leap of faith in 2008, stepping away from a corporate landscaping job to start something entirely her own. With encouragement from her husband, Phillip Becker, and a vision to create beautiful, sustainable outdoor spaces—her way—Splendid Gardens was born.

But this isn’t just a tale of humble beginnings. It’s a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of doing business with heart.

As the Synkd article shares, early marketing at Splendid Gardens didn’t involve big budgets or flashy campaigns. It was three people hauling handmade floral arrangements around Dallas, knocking on doors, and introducing themselves.

That kind of hands-on, boots-on-the-ground spirit still fuels our work today. Whether we’re designing a 3D landscape plan for a Highland Park estate or customizing xeriscaping for a Coppell family home, every detail reflects our drive to stand out—not just with beauty, but with purpose.

The high-touch service keeps their customers coming back, many of the finest homes in the Dallas area trust their landscaping to Splendid Gardens

Built for Texas. Built to Last.

Sustainability isn’t just a trend for us—it’s a core value. Long before Texas’s climate challenges became front-page news, Elizabeth made the commitment to water-conscious design and plant selection. Today, our landscapes are not only stunning but also resilient—engineered to withstand the extremes of North Texas weather, from drought to deep freeze.

Being recognized by Synkd as leaders in sustainable design affirms the decisions we’ve made from day one.

Building Relationships with Professional Excellence

One of the highlights of the feature is how Elizabeth and Phillip now run Splendid Gardens together. What began with Elizabeth heading out before dawn with a crew and a clipboard has grown into a company with six professional crews, a dedicated office team, and long-time employees who treat each client’s yard like their own.

Clients often tell us they love seeing the same familiar faces caring for their property season after season. That’s by design. We don’t just build landscapes—we build relationships.

Being featured in Synkd means more than publicity. It’s recognition from our peers. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come. And it’s a chance to share what we’ve learned with other landscape professionals and clients who care about quality, sustainability, and integrity.

We hope our story inspires others to think bigger, work smarter, and never give up on a dream—no matter how small the first trailer might be (yes, even if the HOA complains).
