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 plants around the base of their oak trees (which were big back then.) They love their St. Augustine lawn, but those oak trees provide a lot of shade, and the fact is that causes bald spots in the best of lawns. The couple have done all they could do to keep their grass thriving, but the reality is those oak trees are much larger today and they were fighting a losing battle. After replacing the grass a few times, they finally realized it was time to throw in the towel and call Village Green for an update.
David, our landscape architect, redesigned his original drawing for their home, extending their front beds to cover the bare areas caused by the shade. They love their original stone border so we had Andres, our mason, move it out, re-using their original stone and adding more that matched as needed. Mrs. M. likes boulders so we brought in a few more and placed them where she wanted them. We added flirt nandina, a colorful dwarf nandina, along with care grass – all of which will do much better in the shade than their St. Augustine.
The end result – Mr. and Mrs. M. love their updated landscape and Village Green was able to build upon a solid landscape design we did over a decade ago. If that isn’t a text book win-win I don’t know what is!
