Hired on Thumbtack

I’m a retired construction engineer with over 40 years of experience. I’ve managed millions of dollars of construction contracts and consulted on just as many design projects. My wife and I recently moved into the Melissa area and bought a home that we knew needed work. One of the first projects we decided to tackle was a drainage problem on the Southeast side of the property. Water was ponding along the side of the house and had no relief.

We contacted four
Landscaping contractors and solicited proposed solutions and project quotes. We selected Designs of Eden, LLC based on their understanding of the problem, their proposed solution, their price, reputation, and professionalism.

We were very pleased. The attention to detail, professionalism, excellent communications, and sticking to the project timeline made this project a success! Cole Alder’s knowledge of
landscaping materials is so comprehensive that we decided to solicit him again to complete landscaping the rest of the yard.

This is one of the top contractors I have worked with in many years.

Details: Larger projects like planting trees or installing sprinkler • Install or repair drainage • Side yard • I'm flexible • Home

I couldn’t be happier with the work Designs of Eden did! They transformed my yard into a beautiful, welcoming space that I actually enjoy spending time in. Cole was professional, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a reliable landscaper who delivers amazing results, look no further—highly recommend!

Designs of Eden's reply
John, thank you. Coming from a construction engineer who has spent forty years managing contracts and reviewing other people's work, this review means a great deal to all of us at Designs of Eden. Your side yard in Melissa was a good problem to solve. Water was ponding against the southeast side of the house with nowhere to go, so we regraded the whole run away from the foundation and toward the fence, laid woven geotextile with three inches of Texas native gravel over it, and set a concrete-square path from the porch to a rebuilt cedar gate so the side yard drains and still gets used. Capping and resetting the irrigation heads that were watering the foundation was part of the same fix. Drainage work in Collin County clay only holds if the grade is right, and you checked our grade stakes with an engineer's eye, which we welcomed. Being chosen out of four bids on the strength of the solution and the price is exactly how we want to earn work, and being asked back to design and install the rest of the yard is the best review a landscape contractor can get. The plan for the remaining beds and planting is in progress now, and we will walk every piece of it with you before anything goes in the ground. Thank you for trusting Designs of Eden with your home in Melissa. We look forward to the next phase. Cole Alder, Designs of Eden

Cole was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish! Easy to talk to, was a good listener. Very helpful with ideas. This man is a keeper!
Designs of Eden's reply
Thank you, Melissa, and thank you for the word on price. Working with you on the front yard at your home in Cross Roads was a pleasure from the first call. You knew how you wanted the front beds to feel, and the plan came together from there: Silver Dream Texas Sage for the silver backbone and Kaleidoscope Abelia for color all summer, with Purple Pixie Loropetalum along the edges of the beds as an accent, all set in amended Denton County clay with drip irrigation so everything settles in through its first season. That is the front yard landscaping we love to do across Cross Roads, Denton County and the rest of North Texas: drought-tolerant plants chosen for the soil and installed to the plan at a price you saw up front. Give the sage a season and please send another photo, we would love and can't wait to see it fill in! Cole, Designs of Eden

We looked at several landscaping companies before choosing Designs Of Eden, and were really glad we did!We loved that they offered 3-D renderings so we could get a feel for what the finished yard would look like. We also liked their approach to using native plants that do well in Texas soil and can handle our crazy summers, droughts, and freezes. And having one company handle everythingfrom the landscaping to the lighting and stoneworkwas a big plus!Cole (the owner) has such an eye for design. He has a knack for putting together colors, plants, and textures in a way that looks interesting and natural, rather than like every other yard in the hood. He also made an effort to keep the project as reasonable as possible.We had our entire yard redone, including flowering bushes and plants, a new patio, retaining wall stonework, and landscape lighting. It was a big investment, but were really happy with how it all came together. Our yard looks beautiful!Wed definitely choose Designs Of Eden again!
Designs of Eden's reply
Mara, thank you for such a thoughtful, generous review! Knowing how happy you are with your yard means so much to me. You had several landscaping companies to choose from, and I’m truly grateful you trusted Designs of Eden with your home and such an important project. Your kind words about my design work especially touched me. I put a lot of heart into bringing colors, plants, and textures together, so hearing that your yard feels natural and unique is incredibly rewarding. Bringing your landscape design to life, from the 3D renderings to the native plants, new patio, retaining wall stonework, and landscape lighting, was a pleasure. A whole-yard transformation is a big investment, and I’m glad you felt the care we put into both the design and your budget. Creating an outdoor space you love, with thoughtful planting choices for our North Texas climate, is exactly why I do this work. Thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and your recommendation, Mara. Hearing that you would choose us again is the greatest compliment. I hope your beautiful new yard brings you joy for many years to come! — Cole, Owner, Designs of Eden
