By owning and operating the showrooms and production facility the quality control and high standards were always under his control.

Although Chad has lived and worked around the world, his heart belongs to New Orleans and, in 2009, he returned to his hometown to found Graci Interiors. "After six years of living in New York, the draw to head down South was too great to resist," he explains. "I was ready to branch out on my own, in a place that I have always loved. New Orleans, in all its dysfunctional, beautiful glory, was the perfect homecoming for me. It was a chance to bring my New York decorating experience and know-how home to a place that was used to traditional, southern style."

The Harold Leidner Company has custom-designed and built amazing pools, gardens, landscapes, and outdoor living spaces for some of the most luxurious properties in Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, Dallas, Fort Worth, Westover Hills, and Westlake for more than three decades. 

30 years ago, the Dallas landscape architects at Harold Leidner Company began with the idea that the exteriors they designed were best built by the designers of those exteriors — and for good reason. Architects are university-trained and state-licensed to understand the aesthetics of design and the details of construction. The same goes for Landscape Architects.

We do not sell our architectural plans for other contractors to install. And, we do not take a fee to manage those contractors that we did not hire. We build, manage, account, and guarantee every aspect of the projects that we design. And for a good reason. For example, it's common to see construction issues or questions arise that only the architect can answer. We know there are times that these contractors will make those decisions without consulting the architect. Our experience has shown that those decisions can cause long-lasting problems.
