For green thumbs and eco-friendly fans, an oasis in the middle of Dallas recently opened this summer to accommodate many of the items on your sustainable shopping list.

The TreeHouse Dallas flagship store offers 35,000-square-feet (including the store’s outdoor space) of goodies that range from the kitchen to garden to bathroom design items and supplies for the home, and everything is good for the environment.

Jason Ballard, CEO of TreeHouse, said, “TreeHouse is unlike any other home improvement store. It is a one-stop-shop for all your home upgrades.”

TreeHouse offers fully-managed home projects from idea to install, like kitchen and bath remodels, home solar power, flooring, and more, eliminating many of the pain points traditionally associated with home improvement.

The store features a variety of areas that customers can utilize for earth friendly ideas. 

“TreeHouse Dallas has a kitchen design center, garden design center, lighting design room, Smart Home product section, bathroom design area, flooring design area, paint section with eco-friendly paint brands, and the store also has home experts who can help with any questions related to remodels, new construction, home improvement and Smart Home technology,” Ballard explained.

Ballard goes on to assure that TreeHouse also has an expertly curated selection of products to go along with the knowledgeable staff “all contributing to a high-quality customer experience.”

In fact, the owner touts the Dallas store as a place where a customer can get any home question answered while seeing the latest in home improvement technology and design.

Opened in June, Ballard said so far the store has been welcomed by Dallas with open arms.

“The store is hosting regular 'Home School' classes on topics like cooking, solar, gardening and more, which have been well-attended,” he said. “The Dallas store has been very busy since opening and the Dallas market has been very receptive to the TreeHouse brand.”

The most popular items in the store since opening are the Haiku Fans, ROMABIO paint, NEST, SunPower solar panels and TreeHouse's Kitchen & Bath design department items.

Centrally-located in Dallas in the Walnut Hill area, Ballard said the idea was to be easily accessible to the majority of people in the DFW area.

The fact that the store is 100% solar is a big deal too.

“The TreeHouse Dallas location is the first energy-positive big-box store in the world, meaning the store will generate excess renewable energy using solar panels, battery packs, and cutting-edge architectural design, then send unused energy back into the city grid,” Ballard said.

Co-founding TreeHouse, Inc., in 2011 in Austin, Texas, Ballard said the Dallas store is the brand’s second location.

Prior to founding TreeHouse the eco-friendly store owner worked as a green builder in Boulder, Colorado for two years and as an environmental consultant for ACRT. He was interested in opening TreeHouse in Dallas after the success of the Austin location of the brand because he saw a need in the Dallas market.

Future plans for the store include the continuation of the Home School classes as well as hosting special events and home-related education classes.

Overall, Ballard said he felt Dallas had supported TreeHouse in its earliest years “and I was ready to give back to the city,” he concluded.  He also said he hopes the company will gain many new fans in the DFW region.
