The acreage is the point.

West of Fort Worth, the homes sit farther apart and the land does more of the work. We have been designing for it since 2004.

The difference out here

An Aledo estate is rarely one building. There is a barn, a pool house, a gate at the end of a long drive, a shop that needs the same network as the kitchen. Most integrators design for a subdivision lot. Out here, the distance between structures is the whole problem — and the part we are best at.

What it takes

Networking that reaches every structure.

Fiber and point-to-point links to the barn, the shop and the guest house, managed as one secure network.

Landscape lighting at acreage scale.

Tree canopies, long drives, and the fence line — designed to read from the road and from the porch.

Security across the whole property.

Gates, outbuildings and long approaches, covered by The Otium Group, Inc — Security Division, and monitored around the clock by a UL-Listed central station.

Light and shade inside.

Lutron lighting and motorized shades on the west glass, where the Texas sun is hardest.

One system.

Control4 ties it together. Goodnight closes the gate, arms the house and walks the landscape down to accent light.

Where we work

Our work runs through Aledo River, Rancho Ladera, Willow Park and Weatherford, and the ranch properties between them that belong to no neighborhood at all. More than fifty homes across Aledo and Parker County.

Bluejack Ranch opens this autumn, and we are already at work there.

Aledo is building

  1. Late 2026

    Bluejack Ranch opens its clubhouse and amenities: a Tiger Woods–designed course on a 914-acre working ranch.

  2. October 31 – November 15, 2026

    The Fort Worth Magazine Dream Home opens to the public in Aledo River.

Bluejack sits beside Kelly Ranch, in the middle of Aledo’s estate country.

The Dream Home

We have been Fort Worth Magazine’s technology partner on its showcase homes since 2013 — including the 2013 Dream Home, the 2018 Home of Dreams, the 2019 Showcase Home, the 2020 Dream Street and the 2025 Dream Home. This year’s is here, in Aledo River. Tour it October 31 through November 15. (opens in a new tab)

For builders

We have worked alongside most of the custom builders in Parker County and west Fort Worth. If you have built with us before, you know how we work. If it has been a while, call. Bring us in at plan review — before the walls close.

What we do here

Every home we design in Aledo draws on the same disciplines, planned together from the first drawings.

For homeowners

Most of our work begins with a homeowner who tells their builder they want us. Tell yours.

Common questions

Do you serve Aledo and Parker County?

Yes. We have worked in Aledo, Willow Park, Weatherford and the surrounding ranch country since 2004, from our base in Fort Worth.

Can you network a barn, shop or guest house hundreds of feet from the main house?

Yes. We run fiber or point-to-point wireless between structures and manage everything as one secure network, so the camera in the shop and the speakers in the kitchen are on the same system.

When should we bring you into a new build?

At plan review. Wiring, conduit, shade pockets and landscape lighting circuits are decided before the walls close. Afterward, every one of them costs more.

Do you work with my builder?

Very likely. We have worked alongside most of the custom builders in Parker County, and your builder does not need to have used us before.

Can you take over an existing system?

Yes. We take over existing Control4 and Lutron systems, keep the wiring and hardware that is sound, and re-document everything.
