Dave Hunchik
Dave Hunchik is a landscape designer in Dallas, Texas, and a co-founder of Original Landscape Concepts Inc., a residential landscape design-build firm working in the Dallas luxury market.
Hunchik founded the firm in 2008 with his partner Mike Dickerson. Both men had worked in the Dallas residential landscape business for years before going into partnership, and together they bring more than 50 years of combined experience to the company. As a principal, Hunchik stays involved across the life of a project, from the hand-drawn concept sketches the firm starts with through construction and installation.
His work centers on the affluent neighborhoods of Dallas and the suburbs to the north and west, among them Preston Hollow, Highland Park, University Park, and Lakewood, along with Southlake, Keller, Colleyville, Frisco, McKinney, and Plano. Projects range from small gardens and custom pools to estate master plans on large lots.
With Dickerson, Hunchik organized the firm around the "Design, Build, Install" approach, in which the company that draws a landscape also builds and plants it. The two principals hold that keeping design and construction under one roof produces a closer match between the plan and the finished result than splitting the work between separate firms.
