I know we’re not normally the go to website for Plano wildlife but I couldn’t help but post this update. Last spring I posted that we had become home to a family of foxes. Everyone else seems to have moved out since then except for this “baby.” This photo was taken a few mornings ago. […]
Here we are in day 5 of our Plano landscape. The beds have been tilled, the stone border is in and we have begun the process of positioning plants. This is my favorite part because it’s where we take our architects plan and breathe life into it. David’s Daigle’s drawings are great but taking a […]
Are you wondering why your tree has been in the ground for several years and still hasn’t grown and the leaves are turning yellow? Chances are it’s been planted too deeply. Look for the place on the tree trunk where it sweeps out from the trunk into the ground. On large, established trees this is […]
If you have a Dallas landscape and have never even considered a waterfall, play this video and see if it changes your mind. It’s impossible to listen to this sound and not feel the stress of the day just melt away. This is a simple water feature with no open water, the stream drops onto […]
Another landscape installation is completed in Garland. Check out the beautiful stone bench and patio.
Downspouts that dump into the middle of your landscape beds are a real problem. They can flood the bed, hauling mulch out of it and drowning the plants inside. The problem can be solved with a few pieces of PVC and some digging. In this photo of our Garland landscape installation you’ll see what’s called […]

Most weed killers that are labeled for dandelions such as 2-4-D products will control it but you’ll need to make several applications to kill out all of the roots that it has. It’s this kind of weed that sends most […]
Grub worms can cause serious damage to lawns in late summer. Until recently we had to wait for the damage before we treated for them but a few years ago a product came out that prevents them before they cause damage. If you’re going to treat this yourself, don’t just buy the first bag with […]
Setting plants is the part I enjoy the most because we get to be creative. We usually start on the left and work to the right, quickly placing all of the plants the drawing calls for in the general area it shows without trying to really position them. Once they’re close to their spots we […]
