Premier Landscape Design and High-End Fencing | The Dominion

The Dominion is arguably the most prestigious, ultra-exclusive gated community in San Antonio and the entire Texas Hill Country. Known for its custom-built mansions, adherence to strict architectural standards, and its championship golf course, the neighborhood demands the absolute highest tier of landscape design, construction, and security fencing. 

Our services are exclusively reserved for The Dominion’s elite clientele, focusing on projects that require seamless integration with existing architecture and full compliance with the community's rigorous Architectural Review Committee (ARC) guidelines. We don't just build landscapes; we create masterpieces that enhance the considerable value of a Dominion estate.

In The Dominion, every exterior modification is scrutinized to ensure it maintains the community's visual harmony and property values. Our landscape design process is inherently tied to the HOA's Exterior Project Requirements and the original vision of the development, providing peace of mind and streamlined approval for our clients.

We start every project with a deep dive into The Dominion Homeowners Association's regulations, a vital step that prevents costly delays and redesigns:

• Foundation Screening and Grading: We address specific requirements, such as the mandate that exposed foundation for the main dwelling must be properly screened and that the grade must be raised to meet maximum exposed heights (often 12 inches), utilizing retaining walls, raised planter beds, or fill to achieve the proper look.

• Architectural Harmony: Our designs emphasize materials and color palettes that are consistent with the approved masonry and finish of the existing dwelling, ensuring the landscape, hardscape, and structures (like pergolas) act as a true extension of the home’s architecture.

• Master Tree Plan Compliance: We strictly adhere to The Dominion’s Master Tree Plan, ensuring all planting and construction respects the health and integrity of mature oak trees, utilizing non-invasive techniques during any excavation.

Our landscape construction for The Dominion focuses on unparalleled quality and luxury features that are built to last:

• Elite Patios and Stone Work: We design expansive outdoor terraces using premium materials like imported marble, granite, or high-grade architectural stone. These patios are built to host significant social events, often surrounding the private golf course views.

• Bespoke Outdoor Kitchens: Our custom outdoor kitchens are truly professional-grade, featuring full utility hookups, integrated lighting, commercial appliances, and detailed masonry work that includes elegant brick ovens and stone-clad outdoor bars.

• Water and Fire Features: We construct stunning water features, such as multi-tiered fountains and reflection pools, that serve as visual centerpieces. Custom-built, residential-grade outdoor fireplaces are finished with the same high-quality stone and mortar used on the main house, providing an upscale gathering place.

• Structural Integration: We custom-build pergolas and pavilions to the highest standards, ensuring they are positioned and architecturally detailed to complement the Mediterranean, Traditional, or Contemporary styles common in The Dominion.

Fencing within The Dominion is not about simple privacy; it is about defining and securing an estate while adhering to rigid aesthetic controls. The Architectural Review Committee carefully scrutinizes all exterior enclosures.

Where permitted by the HOA, our custom cedar fences provide the utmost in sophisticated privacy and durability.

• Concealment and Aesthetics: We specialize in board-on-board cedar construction that maximizes privacy, often finished with a dark, rich stain that complements the natural surroundings. We ensure construction is discrete and adheres to approved height and setback requirements.

• Trash Enclosures: A critical, often overlooked detail is the custom trash enclosure. We build these of solid wall construction using the same masonry materials as the dwelling, with a wrought iron gate that has a solid backing to obscure containers from view, ensuring no unsightly element mars the curb appeal.

For the high level of security expected in this community, we install custom-fabricated, heavy-duty wrought iron and masonry-clad automated driveway gates that seamlessly integrate with the property’s architectural style and access control systems.

Serving The Dominion requires intimate knowledge of the community's standards and proximity to key amenities:

• Key Landmark: The community is centered around The Dominion Country Club, whose immaculate golf course and clubhouse set the aesthetic benchmark for all surrounding residential properties. Our work reflects the precision and luxury of this core amenity.

• Useful Resources: Our team manages the entire ARC approval process, from submitting the initial survey and design plans to securing the construction permit and final approval before the Compliance Deposit is refunded—a necessary and complex service for all modifications in this neighborhood.

• Great Restaurants: The residents of The Dominion have access to the finest dining, whether within the private club itself or nearby world-class restaurants along the Loop 1604 corridor (e.g., Silo Terrace Oyster Bar or J-Prime Steakhouse), confirming the high standard of living that our outdoor creations seek to enhance.
