Owner

Keith Pulliam was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He holds a B.S. in Plant Science from Texas A&M Commerce and an A.A.S. in Golf Course Construction & Horticulture from Grayson College. Keith started his learning in 1992 while in College, he began working part time for many local golf courses. He began to see and appreciate the natural flow of local terrain and how man made design can and should work naturally within the environment. He also learned that there is a science to plant life and an impact to maintain it if it is not natural.

Following 6 years of College and on site learning, Keith embarked on a career in the Golf Course industry. He teamed up to build and maintain such golf courses as Twin Creeks, Ridgeview Ranch and a new nine holes at Stonebridge Country Club. Keith managed large crews and completed extensive projects. He monitored daily course conditions and communicted with club professionals to keep the course in optimum playing condition and the customers happy!

In 2002, Keith started up Appealing Gardens Landscape, LLC, a design and build landscaping company based in Allen, TX focusing on Native Softscapes and Natural Hardscapes. From the beginning, Keith has been a hands on owner. He believes strongly in good communication, education and understanding of client needs and wants. He is actively involved with each individual project and there for his clients before, during and after the project. Keith is a Certified Paver Installer, member of the BBB, Green Building Council and Native Plant Society of Texas.

When not landscaping, Keith enjoys working out, riding his bike, playing golf with his Dad, having great conversations with his Mom, spending time with his girlfriend, cooking new and different meals, salsa dancing, learning more Spanish and gardening in his own home in Allen, Texas.

Mission

Purpose, Integrity, Function, Form and Aesthetics all work together. Our philosophy of Design & Construction is that of creating a natural looking and feeling area, water wise, truly sustainable and using recycled products whenever possible.


Keith and Appealing Gardens helps clients by creating a unique, well thought out, custom and natural landscape/garden for clients. We accomplish our Mission by really getting to know our clients and their needs first hand. We are about Quality not Quantity.



 

Services

There are many good and professional companies in DFW.  A rare breed, there are companies like ourselves that specialize in "Design/Build" and then there are companies that are mainly maintenance.  In other words, their bread and butter is maintenance and they design & build landscapes around their maintenance programs.  We Design and Build based on Sustainability.    

When you hire Keith and Appealing Gardens you are considered a "Client" and not a "Customer".  We provide all of our landscaping services "In House".  Keith works one on one with clients all the way from the design phase through the construction/installation phase, personally oversees every project and encourages an open door policy and free lifetime advice for clients during and upon project completion.  We look forward to being of service to you ...
