We’re starting a landscape installation in Sachse today. The home has a beautiful stone border but it is too close to the house to allow us to create depth so we’re extending the beds out in front of the stone by eight feet. The builder also used lots of dwarf burfords which are great plants […]
You never know what you’re going to find at our shop. Even though we’re located in downtown Plano we’ve had opossums, coyotes, a momma raccoon with several babies following her and now a momma fox with her babies. For some reason she’s not afraid of us and comes within a few feet. www.VillageGreen-inc.com
After spending 30 years repairing sprinklers and installing landscape in North Dallas, what I have noticed is there are very few drainage problems.

Sometimes you might see a wet spot in your lawn and think it might be your sprinkler leaking but how do you know for sure? An easy way is to first make sure no water is running inside your house such as a washing machine. Find your meter and your backflow prevention device (the one […]
Mulch helps slow down weeds in beds. Bare dirt in beds like the one below in this Richardson landscape is just begging for weed seeds to land and take root. We’ll be installing 2″-3″ of fine shredded hardwood mulch and that will create a barrier that weeds have trouble penetrating and when they do it’s […]
Fescue is a good choice for grass in the shade. The tough part is you it has to be planted by seed (Fescue sod is expensive and hard to find) and you have to plant it when you’re not normally thinking about your landscape – fall and late winter. The best fescue lawns I have […]
