The firm has deep roots in the communities we serve with many clients that have worked with us for decades – often on multiple properties. Our continued success is built on the ability of our team of experienced professionals to provide a full range of services to create, construct and manage exceptional gardens that enhance the natural setting and the built environment.

Our work is characterized by its enduring appeal and its fresh interpretation of classic garden design principles. With meticulous attention to detail, we oversee every aspect of our projects, from design through construction. Our clients appreciate the personal attention they receive, as well as the comprehensive level of service that we bring to every assignment.

VISION

In every project we undertake, McDugald-Steele brings an appreciation for each client's vision and resources as well as an abiding respect for the land, climate, and surrounding architecture. While every garden we design is unique, each reflects inspiration from the surrounding natural and built environments, often incorporating historical references as well as the latest innovations in landscape design and materials.

We continue to value working with clients who appreciate the "attention to detail" we bring to every project as well as our ability to manage each landscape as it grows and matures towards our ultimate vision. With a commitment to design excellence, we aspire to become an enduring and trusted resource for all of our clients.

HISTORY

McDugald-Steele marks the founding of its landscape architecture design and construction practice to 1975 as the first comprehensive design/build firm in Houston, Texas. From its earliest inception, McDugald- Steele was envisioned as a collaborative team of professional designers, project managers and construction experts delivering exceptional outcomes in the built landscape environment.

That original vision is still the basis for all we do today at McDugald-Steele. The firm has grown from a small partnership to a thriving business with more than 100 landscape professionals, offices in Houston and Austin, and projects throughout Texas and the Southwestern U.S.

McDugald-Steele has consistently led the industry with works of outstanding design and craftsmanship. Our practice continues to be defined by the strength of our teamwork, the creativity of our designs and the unequalled excellence of the work we construct.

PHASE I PHASE II PHASE III

PROCESS PHASE I

CONCEPT DESIGN &PRELIMINARY BUDGET ANALYSIS

We begin each project by reviewing your specific program requirements followed by an initial site inventory and analysis. This information establishes the foundation for us to begin the conceptual design of your garden.

Our staff creates illustrative drawings, sketches and models that communicate our design concepts for your review. Once the concepts are refined and receive your approval, we prepare and present a detailed preliminary budget for all anticipated costs to construct your garden.

PROCESS PHASE II

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DRAWINGS & CONSTRUCTION

The conceptual designs are converted into detailed development documents and specifications that enable us to procure competitive bids and ultimately contract, permit and build your garden.

We supervise, coordinate and oversee all subcontractors and in-house personnel assigned to complete the construction of your garden. Our contract administration service provides thorough accounting of all project expenses and payments along with managing the related insurance requirements

PROCESS PHASE III

MANAGING

Your landscape is one of our living creations. Upon completion of each landscape installation, we recommend one of our maintenance programs to protect and nurture your landscape investment.

Each client is assigned a Maintenance Account Supervisor who personally directs our team to professionally service and sustain your garden. As your landscape matures, the entire McDugald-Steele team continues to monitor the garden to ensure that it develops per the original design intent.
