Mid-winter and early spring is the time of the year when many of your neighbors believe they should dramatically prune their crepe myrtles, so they will have extra blooms come summer. They may call it pruning. At Village Green, we call crepe murder. The thing to remember about crepe myrtles is that they are a […]
Like many of our customers, Brandon and Lindsay discovered Village Green via a Google search. They, like so many in North Texas, had suffered some freeze damage in February 2021. As has been the case for many, the freeze allowed them to rethink their landscape design and update things that have bugged them for years. […]
We first started working with Jeff in 2017 and have done everything from lawn care, sprinkler care and several landscape projects. Our latest landscape project was to help solve a significant drainage problem that was made worse by the lack of grass in a shady part of Jeff’s front yard. Jeff had a downspout that […]
Liz and Tim are longtime Village Green customers (20 years!), and over that time, their trees have matured, creating a shady lawn that made it hard to grow healthy grass. Liz and Tom fought the change at first and tried sodding many times, but ultimately they realized it was impractical and contacted Village Green to […]

Today I wanted to show you one of our favorite plants to use, the Vitex Tree. The Vitex gets a lot of interest and generates a lot of questions at this time of year because of its colorful blooms. We love the Vitex Tree because it is what I like to call a flame-proof plant. […]
Today I wanted to show you Gold Dust Aucuba. As you can see in the video, it gets its name from the color of the leaves. Gold Dust Aucuba loves the shade (it can’t take the sun.) In shady spots, it flourishes and does very well in both the heat and cold. Gold Dust Aucuba […]
Today we wanted to put the spotlight on one of our favorite plants to use, the Stella de Oro Daylily. We love using it in our landscape projects because it does fine in full sun and is a reliable bloomer. It is flameproof, which makes it suitable for North Texas during our blistering summer months.

We get many questions from customers on what our favorite plants to use in North Texas are. So many Ken has recorded a few videos for our “Best Plants Series.” Today we wanted to show you one of our favorite trees to plant around swimming pools and along fence lines as a screen. The Little […]
