Local expertise
Designs of Eden is a landscape designer serving Prosper, including Windsong Ranch, Star Trail, Whitley Place and Gentle Creek Estates. Builders plant the trees the town requires and stop there. We design the rest of the yard, in photoreal 3D from $2,500 or as a 2D site plan from $750, around Prosper's zone-based watering schedule. The $200 on-site consultation is credited in full.
Prosper's single-family districts start at 10,000 square feet and run past 22,000, and the premium communities stretch further. Whitley Place lots run about a quarter to two-thirds of an acre, and Gentle Creek Estates a third to a full acre. The design brief scales with the lot, and so do our tiers.
Prosper is unusual for the area. It assigns two summer watering days (April through October) by zone: Zone I Monday and Thursday, Zone II Tuesday and Friday, Zone III Wednesday and Saturday, dropping to one day in winter, with no watering 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. New landscapes can get a 30-day establishment variance, and the town runs a free sprinkler evaluation program. We design to the schedule your zone actually gets.
Prosper's zoning makes builders plant one or two front-yard trees and a row of shrubs before closing, which meets the code and not much else. Most of our Prosper work is whole-yard design on newer builds, with privacy, shade, beds, hardscape and lighting composed as one plan.
Prosper requires a tree permit for removals town-wide except on platted single-family lots, so on your own lot you can usually act freely. We still treat established trees as the most valuable material on the site, because on Blackland clay replacing a mature tree is a decade-long project.
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
Whole-yard plans for Prosper's new builds, with 2D site plans for focused scopes and photoreal 3D walkthroughs for full properties.
The designer runs the install on Blackland clay, with bed height, drainage and soil prep done before any planting.
Patios, walks and seat walls with the base prep expansive clay demands.
Drought-tolerant structure plants and drip irrigation in the beds, so the yard looks full on two watering days a week.
Fire features, pergolas and lighting that finish the yard the builder only started.
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.

“Cole did an amazing job with our landscaping design! He completely transformed our outdoor space with a custom landscape plan that added curb appeal and made our yard much more functional. From garden design to patio layout and plant selection, every detail was thoughtful and professional.”
★★★★★
“Designs of Eden, specifically Cole, far exceeded our expectations for our landscaping project. The consultation was extremely thorough and Cole was very honest and forthright on what could and could not be done based on soil, roots, climate. I would absolutely use Designs of Eden for future projects, and strongly recommend to others.”

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; acre-scale estates in Gentle Creek or Whitley Place run $4,500–$7,500+ as master plans. The $200 on-site consultation is credited in full and design fees credit toward installation.
That is the most common Prosper project. The builder planted the required front-yard trees and little else. We design the whole yard to your community's review standards, and new landscapes qualify for the town's 30-day watering establishment variance while plants root in.
Prosper waters by town zone: two days per week April through October (Zone I Mon/Thu, Zone II Tue/Fri, Zone III Wed/Sat), one day in winter, nothing 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. We design drought-tolerant structure plantings and drip-irrigated beds sized to that schedule, and the town's free sprinkler evaluation tunes the system.
Not on a platted single-family lot. Prosper's tree permit requirement exempts existing homes. We still design around healthy established trees, because on Blackland clay they cannot be replaced on any reasonable timeline.
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.
