a living institution
When Joe Lambert, Sr. founded Lambert Landscape Company in 1919, Dallas was just beginning to define itself. WWI had reshaped the world. The industrial revolution was remaking American life. The first irrigation sprinkler had only just been patented, and the profession of landscape architecture was in its infancy.
Into this moment, the Lambert brothers arrived and built something the city had never seen. They introduced azaleas, brought European design sensibilities to the Texas prairie, and established a standard of craft that would endure for generations.

lambert's leadership

Lambert Landscape Company, since 1919, has designed and created gardens and landscapes influenced by traditional and classical design. Founded by Joe Lambert, Sr. in Shreveport, Louisiana, he sent his son, landscape architect Joe Lambert, Jr., to open a Dallas office in the mid-1930s—becoming the city’s first landscape architecture firm. The firm has built a legacy of work across 38 states and abroad.
In 1985, Paul Fields began interning with the firm while earning his degree from Mississippi State University, joining full time upon graduation and rising to Director of Design and now managing partner, though his focus remains classical design. Raised in Tennessee with a love of antiques, art, architecture, and gardening, Fields refined his craft through study, travel, and history.
Over 35 years, Paul has focused on crafting gardens rooted in historical precedent, natural materials, and relationships with artisans. The firm’s work has received numerous awards, is archived in The Smithsonian Institution, and featured in many publications. Paul has received an outstanding alumni award, been named a distinguished fellow, and served on several boards. He resides in Grapevine, Texas.

With over 42 years of experience in the green industry, Dan brings deep operational, production, and plant knowledge to his role as Chairman and Director of Quality Assurance. Grounded in formal horticultural education, he is central to upholding the firm's commitment to exceptional performance and outstanding client service.
Dan blends modern science and technology with time-tested craftsmanship, working in harmony with nature to create beautiful, enduring gardens. As a lifelong Texan, he approaches each project with purpose and care, designing landscapes that are both visually striking and resilient in the demanding North Texas climate.
Dan's leadership has shaped Lambert Landscape Company into an award-winning firm, earning countless local, state, and national honors for excellence. More importantly, his work — and the lasting relationships he has built with employees and clients alike — has enhanced quality of life across Dallas-Fort Worth through thousands of thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces.
