Most of our landscape projects start with Village Green trying to solve a problem for the home owner. In the case of Mr. and Mrs. C it was to overcome a shade challenge. Village Green had worked with the couple over the years with some small changes to their lawn and landscape, but overall, they […]
I’ve known Mr. and Mrs. M for about twenty years. We first met while Debbie and I were attending Cornerstone United Methodist Church. Later I learned that they lived a few blocks from me, and that I regularly walked our dog by their home. Based on that connection Village Green has done some small jobs for the […]
Our landscape projects are a fun part of my job. I enjoy seeing our happy customers upon completion of their project. The before and after photos are fun too, because they are always dramatic. The real test of a landscape though comes later. After plants have had a chance to establish and mature. That is […]
I’m a firm believer that my job is to reduce your stress, not contribute to it, which is why I rarely sent out an alert like I’m doing today. In recent weeks, we’ve seen chinch bugs in a few of our customer’s lawns and today’s alert is to make sure everyone knows to be on […]
Village Green has been in business since 1980, and one of my favorite parts about that longevity is the ability to have long term relationships with many of our customers. A great example is Mr. and Mrs. M. in Plano. In 2007 we worked on their landscape by focusing on planting around their foundation and adding some […]
A new year, a new year landscape spotlight! And today’s is perfect. Like 2017, which is wide open in front of us, Ms. J’s home in Frisco, Texas was the very definition of a ‘wide open space.’ Ms. J called us soon after moving into her newly built home for some recommendations on what kind […]
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 […]
Many people put their landscaping plans on hold because of the drought and water restrictions during the past few years. With all the rain we’ve had this past spring, those concerns have been taken care of with a vengeance so it’s no surprise that our phones have been ringing off the wall with people asking […]
Just the other day I got this email from a customer: “I am unable to grow grass on the heavily-shaded west side of my house. I have tried seeding and St. Augustine sod. Nothing has worked and now I have mostly dirt. Any suggestions?” I wish I had a quarter for every time I’ve been […]
In late winter and early spring you will often see many of your neighbors pruning their crepe myrtles. That’s actually an understatement. Most of your neighbors butcher their crepe myrtles, believing, wrongly, that cutting them back is the proper way to main this beautiful tree and promote extra blooms in the summer. Unfortunately this misinformation, what […]
