Frequently Asked Questions
What does complete outdoor environment design include?
A complete outdoor environment integrates all hardscape and landscape elements into a cohesive design that functions as an extension of your home. Rather than treating each feature separately, Selah coordinates every component as one unified vision. The Higginbotham project in Haslet demonstrates this approach, where every element reinforces the overall design concept while serving specific family needs. This integrated methodology ensures your investment creates genuine outdoor living space—not just a collection of individual features assembled without architectural intention.
How do you coordinate multiple disciplines in one project?
Selah's design-build methodology places one team in charge of architecture, engineering, construction, and project management across all outdoor living disciplines. This eliminates the coordination challenges that arise when clients manage separate contractors. The Higginbotham project exemplifies this approach—every trade operates from the same architectural drawings and material specifications. Single-source accountability means timeline consistency, material continuity, and warranty coverage that protects your entire investment rather than individual components.
What makes Haslet properties suited for outdoor living?
Haslet's established neighborhoods feature mature landscaping and larger lots that provide excellent foundations for comprehensive outdoor environments. The area's residential character supports significant outdoor investments while maintaining neighborhood harmony and property values. The Higginbotham project takes advantage of Haslet's spacious properties to create distinct zones that feel generous rather than crowded. North Texas climate conditions allow for extended outdoor use with appropriate design considerations for seasonal comfort and material performance.
How long does a complete outdoor environment take to build?
Timeline depends on project scope, but Selah's integrated approach often reduces overall duration compared to managing separate contractors, since coordination happens internally rather than between multiple companies. The Higginbotham project followed Selah's design-build process, with design development preceding construction to ensure every detail was resolved before groundbreaking. Weather can extend construction phases, but integrated project management minimizes downtime and ensures every trade stays properly sequenced throughout the build for consistent quality.
Do you work with existing landscape or start fresh?
Every project assessment considers existing landscape assets—mature trees, established sight lines, and drainage patterns that influence design decisions. Selah's team evaluates which elements enhance the new outdoor environment and which might limit optimal functionality. The Higginbotham property's existing features informed the overall design strategy, preserving valuable mature landscaping while introducing new elements that complete the vision. This approach respects your property's established character while achieving the transformation you envision for your outdoor living space.
