MEET JASON OSTERBERGER
OUR TEAM

JASON OSTERBERGER
FOUNDER + PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Meet Jason, the creative mastermind and heart behind our exceptional landscapes. From the vibrant state of Louisiana, where he's almost as passionate about crawfish as he is design, Jason brings a unique Southern charm to every project he touches.
His journey began at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge (Geaux Tigers!), where he earned his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) degree. After graduating, Jason found his way to Dallas, where he kickstarted his career as a landscape designer and project manager for a residential design-build firm.
In 2004, fueled by determination, a single paycheck, and just two weeks' worth of vacation, Jason turned his living room into his namesake firm. From its humble beginnings, the firm has grown into an award-winning powerhouse in luxury landscape architecture.
Jason's talents haven't gone unnoticed; his work has appeared on HGTV and has caught the discerning eye of publications like Architectural Digest, D Magazine, LUXE, The Scout Guide, and the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association (TNLA). But what truly sets Jason apart is his impeccable eye for design, a talent that's bolstered by his innate creativity, genuine compassion for others, and unwavering leadership. Jason doesn't just create outdoor spaces—he breathes life and soul into them.
The oldest of five, Jason spent a lot of time caring for his siblings. He attributes his tenacious spirit, compassionate heart and work ethic to his mom, who owned a dance studio for 50 years, and his dad, who worked at Dow Chemical for 40 years in environmental reporting. Both of his parents were deeply artistic and passionate about community and family. Stop by Jason's office, and he'll show you his Daddy's alligator head and regale you with stories about Biscuit, his Granddaddy, who taught him what it takes to become invaluable in your industry.
When he's not crafting dream landscapes, you'll find Jason at home in Coppell, where community is close to his heart. Jason's a proud member of St. Ann's Catholic Parish, where he actively participates in various local ministries. Professionally, he's a driving force in his TNLA chapter, and he even holds the esteemed position of Chair on the organization's Education Committee.
Amid all his titles, Jason's most cherished role is husband to his beautiful wife, Brandy, and father to their four wonderful children: Tanner, Landon, Addison and Ava. Jason spends most of his free time with his family and friends. You can find him outdoors, almost always, on the boat or relaxing on the beach, toes in the water . . . well, you know how the song goes.
Jason isn't just an acclaimed designer; he's the guy next door, the family man who turns outdoor spaces into havens of beauty and connection. Join us in experiencing his touch of luxury—it's like having a piece of Louisiana charm in your own backyard.
