Barry T. Landscape Project Spotlight

I’m excited about showcasing this project for Barry T because it illustrates that Village Green has the capabilities to handle a wide variety of landscape jobs.

Barry, who lives in Richardson, is a single dad who doesn’t have a lot of time to spend working on his lawn and landscape.  He also didn’t want to spend a lot of money on the update, so he had set a modest budget for this job.  Another major factor was the non-working sprinkler system that the previous owner had installed.  In the end Barry wanted Village Green to install a nice looking landscape on a modest budget that would be easy to maintain.

The past couple of landscapes we’ve profiled are based on designs from our landscape architect, David Daigle.  Since we had a tight budget on this one, Barry asked me to come up with a design and plan for his home.  You can see my ‘fancy’ design above, and quickly understand why our larger landscape projects require David’s professional design work.  That being said, my design, although simple gets the job done in a way where you quickly understand the idea for this project.

Since Barry’s sprinkler system doesn’t work, and he doesn’t have any immediate plans to fix it, we decided on heat tolerant plants such as nandina compactas, Mexican petunias and variegated pittosporums.   These plants need water to get started, but once they are established, they are fine with occasional watering making them the very definition of low maintenance.

As you can see from the photos above, this is a very informal, natural landscape and Barry will only need to prune the plants once or twice per year.  Which is perfect for this single dad, he can stay focused on his family instead of the landscape!

I followed up with Barry the day we finished our installation to make sure he was happy with my design and our installation work.  He told me that his new landscape is the best on the block now, and was so energized and proud that he had already been to Home Depot to invest in some soaker hoses to get those plants established!

A huge thank you to Barry for allowing me to spotlight his landscape project which shows we have the capabilities to handle a wide variety of landscape jobs.  In fact, since 1980 we have specialized in creating extraordinary landscapes at all budget points for our customers.
