Local expertise
Designs of Eden is a landscape designer serving Flower Mound, including Bridlewood, Wellington, Montalcino Estates and Chateau du Lac. Flower Mound sits on Cross Timbers sandy soil and has one of the strongest tree ordinances in North Texas, so our plans protect established post oaks and pass Chapter 94 review when it applies. 3D design starts at $2,500, 2D site plans at $750, and the $200 consultation is credited in full.
Flower Mound sits in the Eastern Cross Timbers, with sandy soil over sandstone and native post oak and blackjack oak cover, which is very different from the Blackland clay east of town. Drainage is faster and the plant palette shifts. Established post oaks do not tolerate grade changes or disturbance in their root zones, so we design around them.
The town's Chapter 94 protects trees from 6-inch caliper up, but developed single-family lots under one acre are excluded from most of it. On one-acre-plus lots, and for specimen, majestic or historic trees anywhere, removals need a permit and an Environmental Conservation Commission hearing, and unauthorized work carries penalties up to $500 per caliper inch. Our plans mark exactly which trees carry which status.
Since March 2026 Flower Mound has run a mandatory two-day schedule: even addresses Tuesday and Friday, odd addresses Wednesday and Saturday, with no sprinklers 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Upper Trinity, the town's main water supplier, offers residents free irrigation system evaluations. We put the beds on drip so the schedule is enough.
Flower Mound runs from quarter-acre SF-10 lots to one-acre-plus estates in Montalcino and Chateau du Lac on Lake Grapevine. The design brief changes with the scale. On a quarter acre it is screening and composition. On the estates it is master planning and phasing. Our tiers are priced the same way.
How it works
Send photos, we pull up your lot on satellite, and you get an honest read on scope and budget. No salesman in your driveway.
One to two hours on your property. We measure the yard and look at the drainage, the soil and the sun. The fee is credited in full toward any design package.
You see the finished yard on screen with every plant and paver named. We change it until you sign off, and what you sign off on is what gets built.
The crew builds from the plan you approved, with no substitutions, and the work carries a one-year workmanship warranty.
What you get
Every design package ends with three things in your hands.
You watch the finished yard on your phone before anything is planted. If a bed is in the wrong place or a plant isn't you, we change it. Nothing gets built until you say yes.
Every plant and material is named and placed on a plan you can build from. The plans are yours to keep, and any contractor can work from them.
Species, sizes and quantities, chosen for your soil and your sun, so what gets installed is what you approved.
What we build here
A 2D site plan on a Bridlewood quarter acre or a photoreal 3D master plan for a Montalcino acre, both designed for sandy Cross Timbers ground.
The designer runs the install and protects the existing oak root zones, which are the most common casualty of work done without a plan in Flower Mound.
Stone patios and walls set on well-draining Cross Timbers base, graded away from protected trees.
Post-oak-understory natives and drought-tolerant palettes that fit the Cross Timbers look instead of fighting it.
Lakeside and estate outdoor rooms with fire, shade and lighting, composed into the tree canopy you already have.
Every one of these starts with a design you approve first. Book a free virtual consult to talk it through.

Before you hire anyone
Five questions to ask any designer before you sign, and our answer to each.
Yes. We model the whole property in photoreal 3D, with every plant and paver named, and we change it until you sign off. What you approve is what gets built.
Yes. A 2D site plan runs $750 to $2,000 for smaller lots, a 3D Complete Vision design starts at $2,500, and the $200 on-site consultation is credited in full toward the design.
The designer does, with insured crews. One point of contact from the first day of digging to the final walkthrough, and a one-year workmanship warranty on the work.
The facts above are the ones we design to: the tree ordinance, the watering schedule, the soil under your lot and the submission your review board asks for. We prepare that package with the plan.
The 15-minute virtual consult is free. If you want us on the property, the on-site visit is $200 and it is credited in full toward your design.

Common questions
A 2D Site Plan runs $750–$2,000 for lots under about half an acre with planting-and-layout scope; photoreal 3D design starts at $2,500; one-acre estates like Montalcino or Chateau du Lac run $4,500–$7,500+ as phased master plans. The $200 consultation is credited in full and design fees credit toward installation.
It depends on your lot and the tree. Developed single-family lots under one acre are excluded from most of Chapter 94, but one-acre-plus lots, and specimen, majestic or historic trees on any lot, require a permit and an Environmental Conservation Commission review. Unauthorized removal runs up to $500 per caliper inch, so we mark tree status on every plan.
Cross Timbers natives and adapted species that like fast drainage. The palette differs from the clay country lists a few miles east. Established post oaks set the constraints, since they do not tolerate grade changes or irrigation over their root zones, so we design from the trees outward.
Flower Mound allows two watering days per week (even addresses Tuesday/Friday, odd Wednesday/Saturday) with a 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. sprinkler ban. We put the beds on drip and keep turf to the areas you use, and Upper Trinity offers free irrigation evaluations to tune the system.
Design takes two to four weeks, and October and November are the best months to plant in North Texas. Book the consultation by October 1 and the design will be ready to install in that window.
