Late Spring in North Texas is a busy time for many trying to get their lawn ready for Summer. What you should be doing over the next few weeks boils down to two things. What kind of lawn do you have, and how have you been taking care of it the past 12 months?

Mid to Late April must be the weediest time of year for North Texas. This is caused by our weather, which can be warm and humid one day, and cool and blustery the next. Add decent rainfall in April and you have the perfect environment for the weeds you may be experiencing in your yard […]
I’ve been getting a lot of questions this spring about these mega-mosquitoes which are crane flies. I’ve heard them called may flies, mosquito hawks, skeeter eaters, and my favorite, mosquito on steroids! Everyone can rest easy, these aren’t some dangerously huge mosquitoes that have descended on North Texas. These inch-long, gangly-legged insects that are sneaking […]
Spring has sprung and the warmer weather and blue skies always gets people out into their yards to poke around in their yards and start their spring planting. When they turn over their soil they often will find grubs which concerns them and causes a lot of calls and emails to come into Village Green. […]

Today’s landscape spotlight illustrates how much our work can transform a home. Michael and Melissa D’s home was the definition of a blank slate. But their property was amazing with a lot of potential, and as soon as David (our landscape architect) and I started discussing the project I knew we had the opportunity to create […]
The State Fair of Texas starts Friday, which means fall has arrived in North Texas! I kid, fall officially began last week, but with a daytime high temperature in Dallas of 95 degrees on the first day of fall, I didn’t want anyone to change their watering schedule just yet. Typically in North Texas we […]
