Aledo families have been our clients for two decades. We know the soil, the schools, the HOA quirks, and which lots are worth what.
Aledo is where a lot of our referrals come from.
For more than twenty years, Open Prairie has been building custom homes for Aledo families — and those families have been kind enough to send us their neighbors, in-laws, and (more than once) their grown kids when it came time for a second house. Most of the work we do in Aledo today started as a phone call from someone who lived in a house we built ten years ago.

The Aledo ISD factor
Most of the families who hire us in Aledo lead with the same thing: they want to be inside the Aledo ISD boundary — Stuard Elementary, McAnally Intermediate, Aledo Middle, and Aledo High. We know which streets feed into which campus, which addresses on the edges have flipped over the years, and which lots are worth fighting for. We have built across most of the major Aledo subdivisions and on acreage out toward Annetta, Annetta South, Willow Park, and the Brock line.
Neighborhoods and developments we know
We have built or renovated in Walsh Ranch, Morningstar, Deer Creek, Parks of Aledo, Bear Creek Ranch, and the older estate lots along Old Annetta Road and FM 1187. We have also done acreage work down toward Lake Weatherford and on the country lots between I-20 and the Brazos River. If you are looking at a lot in Aledo and want a candid read on what it will cost to build there — soil, drainage, HOA architectural rules, the works — ask Dan. He has probably already walked one within a quarter mile of it.
What an Aledo build usually looks like
A typical Aledo project for us is a 4,000–6,000 square foot custom home on a half-acre to ten-acre lot, often a custom home on acreage with a real basement, designed around the way the family actually lives — open kitchens that connect to outdoor entertaining, generous mudrooms after Friday-night football, and a primary suite tuned to the morning light. Most fall in the $1.4M–$3.5M range. Permitting runs through Parker County and, depending on address, the City of Aledo or the Town of Annetta. If you already own a lot in Walsh, Morningstar, or out toward Annetta, ask about our build-on-your-lot process.
We also handle whole-home renovations on older Aledo homes — usually projects where the family loved the location, the trees, and the schools but had outgrown the original layout. Same builder, same standards, same Dan on the job site. Most renovation projects start with new home design and floor plans drawn against the existing footprint.
Built for Aledo families
Four reasons North Texas families have hired Open Prairie over the high-volume builders working the same zip codes for nearly thirty years.
Local Since 1995
We have been building in this region since before most of the new subdivisions had names. Every relationship Open Prairie needs to get your job done - engineers, inspectors, trades - already exists and is two decades deep.
Owner on Every Job
Dan Schlaak walks every job site weekly and runs every weekly client meeting himself. You will not be passed off to a project manager who has never met you.
Acreage Builds Done Right
Septic, well, road, pad, tree management, and dust control - things production builders treat as add-ons. We treat them as the job.
Two-Decade Warranty Track Record
Some of our earliest homes are now in their second owner. The warranty we wrote for the first owner still applies, and we still answer the phone. Ask anyone in town.
Building custom homes across North Texas
Building a Custom Home in Aledo, TX
The questions Aledo, TX families ask us most often before starting a custom home in this market.
Current Open Prairie projects in Aledo, TX typically run $1.2M to $3.8M for the home itself, on lots ranging from 1 to 20 acres. Per-square-foot costs land between $340 and $550 depending on finish level and whether the home includes a basement. Land is separate.
Plan on 12–14 months from groundbreaking, plus 3–5 months of design and Parker County permitting beforehand. Most of our homes deliver within two weeks of the original target date because we build a small number at once and the schedule actually gets attention.
In most cases, yes - and we are one of the only builders in the region who do them correctly. Soil varies block to block, which is why most builders refuse. We work with engineers we have used here for two decades.
On most acreage outside the city limits, yes. The cost varies dramatically based on depth-to-water and percolation rates. We coordinate the soil testing, the well drilling contractor, the septic engineer, and the inspection sign-offs - all included in our scope.
Yes. Most of the acreage subdivisions here have architectural review committees with their own rules about exterior materials, roof pitch, fence types, and outbuildings. We handle the submittal and any revision cycles as part of the design phase.
Modern Texas farmhouse remains the most-requested style - limestone or brick base, board-and-batten or stone gables, standing-seam metal accents, and big covered outdoor living. Traditional ranch, Hill Country contemporary, and transitional plans are also common. We do not have a house style; we build yours.
