Deming platted the Euclid Golf Allotment according to the principles of the "garden city movement", then a popular design strategy for wealthy suburbs.
He retained as much of the natural beauty of the area as possible, and imitated other developers freely when their practices proved successful.
For example, despite its past use as a golf course, the Euclid Golf Allotment was heavily wooded with mature deciduous trees.
Deming required that builders retain as many of these as possible during home construction, so that the value of the land would be as high as possible. (
Many of these trees still exist in the 2000s.)
Deming also decided to dig Fairmount Boulevard on either side of the Cleveland Railway line which already existed on the property.
A 50-foot (15 m) wide roadway was created on both sides of the railway line, and Deming's engineers mimicked the design of Fairmount Boulevard in Shaker Heights (laid out by the F. A. Pease Engineering Company).

To meet the requirements of the amended agreement with Rockefeller, Deming first had to lay out streets (which would then allow him to plat the development).
These streets all gently curved, both because this met the design principles of the "garden city" movement but also because it allowed streets to conform to the sloping, ravine-ridden geography of the site.
All the streets also connected easily and naturally to those of surrounding developments.

Seven deed restrictions significantly limited the type and design of structures which could be erected in the Euclid Golf Allotment.
Six restrictions were initially placed on construction.
The first limited structures to private residential homes, specified a minimum expenditure for construction, established setback rules, and required the approval of the B.R. Deming Company before construction could begin.
The goal of the restriction was to assist the builder in achieving the highest possible quality, rather than to limit him.
The second restriction established minimum expenditure levels and setback rules for garages and outbuildings, and prohibited outhouses.
The third limited fence height to 3 feet (0.91 m), and established setback rules for fences.
The fourth restriction barred a wide range of uses for structures, including apartments, boarding houses, taverns, and a wide range of public entertainment venues (such as dance halls and movie theaters).
The fifth prohibited occupants from manufacturing or selling alcohol on the premises.
The sixth deed restriction regulated the placement and size of advertising signs or similar devices.
A seventh restriction, added to plots sold later, required that landscaping adhere to standards set by the B.R. Deming Company.
All deed restrictions expired on May 1, 1950.
