Refined Turf Installations for Highland Village's Lakeside Estates

Highland Village is a community that occupies a geography of genuine distinction — the elevated Denton County terrain above Lewisville Lake, with views that extend across the water to the Flower Mound ridgeline and the Cross Timbers uplands beyond. The residential character reflects that geography: custom homes built to take advantage of the views, outdoor living programs oriented toward the lake, and an HOA culture that maintains the community's aesthetic standards with genuine consistency.

Artificial Grass of Flower Mound's work in Highland Village is informed by that context. The properties here are not large by Denton County acreage standards, but they are maintained and designed at a level that makes the quality of every exterior detail visible. A synthetic turf installation that does not hold its color register through the summer season, or whose drainage creates puddling near the pool deck, or whose transitions are poorly finished at the hardscape margins, will be noticed — by the homeowner, by the neighbors, and by the ARB reviewer at the next architectural modification review.

A homeowner in The Highlands of Lewisville Lake section engaged us to address a front lawn situation where the grade between the street and the elevated front entry created a mowing challenge that their landscape crew had been managing with a push mower on an irregular basis. The elevation change — approximately six percent from the street edge to the entry walk — was modest enough that a standard residential installation could address it, but the drainage at the base of the grade had been directing water toward the foundation during heavy rain. We regraded the base profile, installed a perforated collection channel parallel to the foundation approach, and specified SYNLawn HD in a single-tone color register that the homeowner's ARB approved on the first submission.

In Brookside — Highland Village's lakeside master-planned section where the lots back directly to the water in some areas — we have completed installations that include both a residential lawn area and a slope-to-lake transition that requires careful product selection for drainage performance. The proximity to the water table in these properties affects how aggressively the backing needs to drain, and we specify accordingly.

Highland Village's Lewisville Lake proximity also means that the outdoor entertaining program is almost universally oriented toward the view — back patios, outdoor kitchens, and terraced landscaping designed to preserve and frame the water view while providing a finished foreground. Synthetic turf in these contexts functions as the primary ground plane of the view composition, and we treat it as such — selecting products whose color register and blade height contribute to the overall visual composition rather than simply filling the ground plane.
