Gordon W. Domaschk

Gordon W. Domaschk, 78, died peacefully on Saturday, March 30, 2024, after a brief but intense battle against leukemia and heart valve failure. 

In the early 1970s, Gordon made his way to Austin, began work at Tarrytown Florist, and discovered his passion and soon-to-be profession. He opened Gordon’s Landscaping in Austin and dove headfirst into the green industry as a business owner and entrepreneur, serving as President of the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association from 1984 to 1985. In 1987, Gordon began work for Rosewood Property Company in Dallas. He moved to Hawaii for eighteen months to supervise the landscape installation at the Hotel Hana Maui. Once complete, he returned to Dallas to oversee Rosewood’s in-house landscaping division, which included landmark properties like The Crescent and The Mansion on Turtle Creek. Rosewood downsized in 1992, and Gordon was given the opportunity to purchase the landscape division and create Turtlecreek Landscape Services.
