Landscape Design Studio
Designs of Eden is a landscape designer serving Prosper — 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, tuned to Prosper's zone-based watering schedule. $200 on-site consultation, credited in full.
Local expertise
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, Gentle Creek Estates a third to a full acre. The design brief scales with the lot, and so do our tiers.
Unusual for the area: Prosper assigns two summer watering days (April–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. That is a code minimum, not a landscape. Most of our Prosper work is whole-yard design on newer builds — privacy, shade sequencing, beds, hardscape and lighting composed as one plan.
Prosper requires a tree permit for removals town-wide except on platted single-family lots — so as a homeowner you can usually act freely. We still treat established trees as the most valuable material on the site; Blackland clay makes replacing a mature tree a decade-long project.
What You Get
Three deliverables — not one sketch.
Stand in your future landscape on your phone. See exactly how every plant, paver, and stone wall will look — at sunrise, at dusk, in full bloom — before we plant a single thing. Share it with your spouse, your in-laws, your designer friends.
The same modeling tools high-end residential architects use, applied to every inch of your property. Accurate to the foot. Buildable. Yours forever — even if you take the design to another contractor down the road.
Every species, every quantity, every supplier. No guessing what's in the design. No “wait, that's not what I expected” at install.
Most DFW landscape designers hand you a sketch and ask you to imagine it. A flat board with cut-out plants. A Pinterest mood board with vibes. You sign a contract, write a check, and hope.
We hand you a movie. You walk through your finished yard on your phone before we break ground — and approve every plant, every paver, every angle. No “I thought it would look different.” No surprises. No regrets.
What we build here
Whole-yard plans for Prosper's new builds — 2D site plans for focused scopes, photoreal 3D walkthroughs for full properties.
Designer-led installs on Blackland clay: bed height, drainage and soil prep first, planting second.
Patios, walks and seat walls with the base prep expansive clay demands.
Drought-tolerant structure and drip-zoned beds that look full on two zone-days a week.
Fire features, pergolas and lighting that finish what the builder started.

Completed Designs of Eden projects, labeled by the city they were built in.
HOA & ARC
Prosper's master-planned communities run active associations with design review — Windsong Ranch and Star Trail among the most structured. We format the plan set, plant list and materials for your community's submission process; the town also keeps an HOA resources page.
Communities we prepare submissions for include Windsong Ranch, Star Trail, Whitley Place, Gentle Creek Estates, Lakes of La Cima.

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.–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; on Blackland clay they are irreplaceable on any reasonable timeline.
Design takes two to four weeks and October–November is the best planting window in North Texas. Book the consultation by October 1 and the design installs in the prime window.
