Thoughtful Design for Enduring Outdoor Spaces

Garden Center Plants Chosen for Style and Longevity

Secret Gardens blends horticultural artistry with construction craftsmanship to create lasting outdoor spaces for homeowners in Highland Park, McKinney, Frisco, and surrounding areas. At the heart of our work is our garden center, which serves as both a design resource and a living example of the plant material we use. We offer full-service residential landscape design, tailored maintenance, and custom water features, all grounded in deep knowledge of Texas soils and climate. Our clients visit the garden center to see their designs brought to life, walk through seasonal plantings, and select materials that suit their vision. Every landscape we build is guided by function, beauty, and a long-term commitment to performance.

Landscape Design & Install

A distinctive landscape starts with a clear vision. Our design team creates detailed plans and 3D renderings to show how your outdoor space will come together with balance and flow. During the consultation, clients walk through available plant and planter selections and explore curated materials that will be featured in their designs. Our installations include plantings and softscapes chosen for long-term growth and visual impact, as well as patios, pathways, driveways, and retaining walls. We also build custom outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire pits, and outdoor stairs. Low-voltage LED lighting for pathways and stairways is included, along with complete irrigation installation, grading, and drainage solutions. This approach ensures every project is both beautiful and functional from the ground up.

Landscape Maintenance

A garden changes with the seasons. Our maintenance services keep it thriving year-round. Our quarterly maintenance program includes hand-weeding, pruning, plant and shrub fertilization, mulching, irrigation modification, and preventive treatment for pests and fungi. Because the plant material is selected from our garden center, we know exactly how to keep it thriving. We also offer seasonal plantings that reflect key moments of the year. In spring, clients enjoy bulbs, tulips, and fresh color in preparation for Easter. Fall includes pumpkins, hay bales, and decorative gourds for a festive look. During the holiday season, we provide rosemary trees, pansies, lavender trees, and cyclamen to complete a winter garden. Additional services include sod installation, landscape bed maintenance, spring cleanups, and fall leaf removal. Our team helps keep your garden healthy, vibrant, and visually stunning year-round.

Outdoor Aquatics

Our water features are crafted to enhance both natural and formal landscapes. We design and install custom ponds using biological pond systems that establish healthy circulation and support balanced ecosystems. These features may include waterfalls, pump systems, skimmers, and carefully shaped pond beds. We also provide seasonal pond management to maintain water clarity and plant health. As a proud retailer of Fiore Stone fountains, we supply homeowners with durable, elegant water features known for their craftsmanship. For more natural settings, we build custom waterfalls using stacked stone. Each feature is planned to suit the scale, layout, and style of your landscape.
