Landscape Spotlight: Mr. N’s McKinney Make-Over

Our latest landscape project is the third project in the past decade we’ve done for Mr. N. His latest home is in charming downtown McKinney, Texas, and even though it is new, the design is classic to be in line with the neighborhood. Mr. N. wanted that feeling translated into the landscape. The goal for the landscape design was one that delivered a lot of colors yet remained simple. The original landscape was very overgrown and crowded the foundation of the home, which detracted from the street view.

Village Green pulled his beds out further away from his foundation and home to give more depth and allow for the layering of our many plant choices. We also extended the plants along the driveway, which softens the front entry drive.

As you can see in the video, and before and after photos, the project turned out great, and Mr. N. is another happy Village Green landscape customer…for the third time.

If you have a job in mind, Village Green would love the opportunity to discuss your project. Founded in 1980, Village Green is a family-owned and operated lawn and landscape company. Our landscapes start at $2,500 and go up to $100,000 + on large scale projects. Call us at 972-495-6990 or email Ken@VillageGreen-Inc.com to learn more.

Landscape Spotlight: Mr. & Mrs. T’s Patio Paradise

Our latest landscape tour is the perfect one to kick off June and summer!

Mr. and Mrs. T called Village Green about some ideas and solutions for their backyard. They had finished installing a beautiful pool and that plus their arbor and stunning patterned concrete their back patio was nearly summer ready. The only problem was they needed something to look at besides concrete, their fence, and the neighbor’s roof lines.

What they needed was a landscape that would compliment their amazing work and would solve some of their issues.

In today’s video tour I walk you through their patio paradise and explain our choice of solutions in the design and with our plant selection.

I’m happy to report that Mr. and Mrs. T are delighted with their new landscape and our hard-working Village Green landscape team. They loved working with Hannah and Emmanuel and were sure to let me know how friendly and professional our team was on their project.

They now have the perfect patio paradise to entertain this summer and beyond.

Village Green installs landscapes started at $2,500 and have been helping our North Texas neighbors create beautiful outdoor spaces since 1980.

We know we could help you create your very own patio paradise and we would love to earn your business. Call us at 972-495-6990 or email Ken@VillageGreen-Inc.com to learn more.

Landscape Spotlight: Mr. H’s Shade Solution

As I said in a recent quick tip, your lawn needs three things to be healthy. Sun, water, and food (fertilizer.) Mr. H unfortunately didn’t have enough sun in his backyard because of his large trees and came to us for a solution. Mr. H is a model customer in that he had very specific requests for this project.

Mr. H gave me his list which was:

  • Low maintenance and care
  • Limited entertaining for small groups (3-5) people
  • Patio, plants, beds and plants
  • Patio surface must provide safe walking surface and not be slippery
  • Natural style that fosters serenity.  Not modern styling
  • Increase the size of the patio
  • Designed around the fact that the main viewing area would be the kitchen nook window

As you can see in my video tour and the photos, Village Green delivered on Mr. H’s new landscape. From a stunning patterned concrete patio to the beautiful yet low maintenance landscape that does double duty screening his backyard from the neighbor’s roof and windows. Mr. H now has his serene outdoor space and Village Green has another satisfied landscape customer.

If you have a yard with a lot of shade and are sick of your bare spots, I would love the opportunity to discuss your options. I have a lot of examples I can share where we have solved shady lawn problems.

Village Green installs landscapes started at $2,500 up to $100,000 + and have been helping our North Texas neighbors create beautiful outdoor spaces since 1980.

We know we could help you create your very own sanctuary and we would love to earn your business. If you’d like to discuss your project we’re happy to answer your questions. All you have to do is call us at 972-495-6990 or email Ken@VillageGreen-Inc.com.

Ms. N’s Backyard Transformation

One of my favorite things about landscape projects is finding creative ways to solve our customer’s problems.

Take this project. Ms. N has a large backyard with a swimming pool which is perfect for her and her dogs enjoy. The only problem. Mud. And lots of it.

The simple solution. Artificial turf and some well-selected ground cover (which is what Village Green handled on this project.)

Remember I said this was a large backyard. I meant LARGE. This yard was so big that we had 325 flats of ground cover or nearly 6,000 four-inch pots. That obviously took a few days of hard work, but Village Green delivered and you can see the difference!

It took quite a few days but we got it all in and Ms. N and her four-legged family members are ready to enjoy her updated backyard this summer.

Mr. & Mrs. T’s Landscape eTour

Ken visits Mr. and Mrs. T’s home to check on a landscape project Village Green finished two weeks ago.  Like many of Village Green’s projects, this customer had trouble growing grass under their oak trees because of the shade.  Village Green replaced the Bermuda to St. Augustine, and created some beds under each tree.  The end result is a yard that is gorgeous, but will be very low maintenance for Mr. and Mrs. T.  It’s an added bonus to watch this video to hear Ken give a Who’ Who commentary of landscape plants.
