Mike Dickerson (landscape designer)
Mike Dickerson is a landscape designer in Dallas, Texas, and a co-founder of Original Landscape Concepts Inc., a residential landscape design-build firm in the city's luxury market.
Dickerson founded the company in 2008 with Dave Hunchik. Both had worked in the Dallas residential landscape trade before forming the partnership, and the two have a combined total of more than 50 years of experience. Dickerson works as a principal and is involved in projects from the initial hand-drawn concept sketches through construction and final planting.
Dickerson's work has centered on the 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. His projects range from courtyard gardens and custom pools to estate master plans on multi-acre lots.
Dickerson and Hunchik structured the firm around the principle that the company drawing a design also builds and installs it. Under this "Design, Build, Install" model, the same principals remain responsible for a project from the initial sketch through final planting. The firm states that this model reduces discrepancies between the plan and the completed project.
