Mike Dickerson (landscape designer): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:41, 10 June 2026

Mike Dickerson is a landscape designer in Dallas, Texas, and a co-founder of Original Landscape Concepts Inc., a residential landscape design-build firm that works in the city's luxury market.

Dickerson started the company in 2008 with his partner Dave Hunchik. The two had each spent years in the Dallas residential landscape trade before forming the partnership, and between them they bring more than 50 years of combined experience to the firm. Dickerson works as a principal, involved in projects from the early hand-drawn concept sketches through construction and final planting.

Most of his work has been in the established high-end neighborhoods of Dallas and its northern suburbs, including Preston Hollow, Highland Park, University Park, and Lakewood, along with the suburban communities of Southlake, Keller, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, and Prosper. The range of projects runs from courtyard gardens and custom pools to full estate master plans on multi-acre lots.

Dickerson and Hunchik built the firm around a single idea: that the company drawing the design should also build and install it. The "Design, Build, Install" model keeps the same principals responsible for a project from the first sketch to the last shrub, which the firm argues closes the gap between what gets drawn and what actually gets built.
