Daniel Kennedy

Certified Landscape Designer

Summary

Daniel Kennedy is a seasoned landscape designer and project manager with over 16 years of combined experience in design and construction. For the past six years, he has focused on residential landscape design at Daystar Landscapes, Inc. — a trusted name in North Texas since 1984. Daniel is recognized for creating functional, livable outdoor environments that blend beauty with purpose.

His design approach centers on listening to clients and interpreting both their words and their vision. He translates ideas into detailed 3D renderings, giving homeowners a clear picture of their space before construction begins. From outdoor kitchens, patios, and pergolas to lighting, retaining walls, and custom planting schemes, Daniel ensures each project is cohesive, inviting, and enduring.

As both designer and project manager, Daniel oversees the entire process—from concept through construction. He provides on-site involvement, manages changes, and keeps projects aligned with design intent, budget, and client expectations. Fluent in both English and Spanish, he bridges communication between clients and crews, ensuring accurate execution and smoother builds.

What distinguishes Daniel’s work is his focus on the details that sustain long-term success. Drainage, lighting, and irrigation are integrated from the start, not added later. As a licensed irrigator, he designs systems that maintain plant health while preserving aesthetics and efficiency. His understanding of microclimates and plant development ensures landscapes that thrive with minimal upkeep.

At Daystar Landscapes, Daniel’s work reflects the company’s commitment to complete outdoor transformations. Whether the goal is relaxation, entertaining, or daily living, he creates outdoor spaces that feel like natural extensions of the home—environments that clients will enjoy and remember for years to come.
