The couple enjoys spending a lot of time in their backyard, gardening, and grilling. Part of this project included concrete work in their backyard, so while we waited for that to be done, Village Green concentrated on the front. A challenge with the front of their property was how to tame all the concrete created by their driveway. Our solution was to soften that look by stretching the beds down the driveway and installing dwarf and semi-dwarf plants such as abelias and nandinas. The beauty of these plants is that they screen the driveway but still frame the home. Another request from Jason was to get rid of the stackable stone border and do something about the stone wall it created on one side of their property. Our solution was to extend or push the bed, which allowed us to get rid of the wall and only need a single course of stone border. We also added river rock along the driveway to hold the soil and mulch in place. Other touches were replacing the hedges with more natural plants that are easier for the couple to maintain and add color. Next to the entry, we added smaller perennials, giant liriope, and variegated sedge to give interest without needing to replace annuals regularly. I`m happy to report that Jason and Melissa love our finished work and bragged about what a great job Hannah and her team did. They were especially impressed when Hannah fixed a couple of issues before they even had time to bring them up to her. Thank you, Jason and Melissa, for allowing us to re-do your front landscape. We`re looking forward to getting started on the back in a few weeks when the project`s concrete part complete. If you have a landscape project in mind, Village Green would love to earn your business.

[{"type":"0","id":"efcMJYyr_eA","title":"Landscape Spotlight: Dylan & Katie`s New Garland Home Make-Over - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"3:21","description":"Dylan and Katie, who are proud first-time homeowners, contacted us about improving the curb appeal of their new home in Garland. The previous owner had allowed the shrubs to get large, obscuring their home and covering a good portion of their windows. The main challenge with this project was that between the crepe myrtles near the city sidewalk and all the plants leaning in their entry, the landscape felt like it was trying to keep people away instead of a more welcoming entrance. Since the property had a lot of nice established plants, we decided to incorporate many of them in our new design, removing the crepe myrtles and most of the plants nearest the entrance of their home. One of their requests was to create a plan that didn’t require as much maintenance, got rid of the overgrown plants, and provided some color that was easy to maintain. At the entrance, we went with holly ferns and giant liriope for year-round texture, adding color by adding nandinas and dwarf Mexican petunias. We replaced the large overgrown plants that needed constant trimming with dwarf and semi-dwarf plants that won’t outgrow the space and require limited trimming. Now that the job is complete, Dylan and Katie say they love their new look. They knew that many of the plants needed to go, but had no idea what to use when they replaced them. They appreciated our local expertise with plant recommendation and selection and added that they enjoyed working with Hannah and the rest of our landscape team. The made a point of complimenting them for their excellent job in communicating each day what they had planned and when they’d finish for that day. And probably the best indicator that they are pleased with Village Green, they told me that they’ve already recommended us to a few of their friends!

[{"type":"0","id":"egHlidJD40g","title":"Mr. & Mrs. I`s Shady Lawn Solution - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"2:28","description":"Our latest landscape spotlight is the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. I, who live in North Dallas. Like many of our customers, Mr. and Mrs. I are blessed with a lot of shade on their lawn. The shade is great, especially during the heat of summer, but it is not so great if you want to grow grass. Another issue was that their lawn has a steep slope. You take no grass, which means not a lot of soil to hold things down with a steep slope, and you are going to get erosion, which resulted in dirt piling up on their sidewalk after heavy rain. Mr. and Mrs. contacted Village Green to come up with a solution to stop the mud from piling up in front of her home and something that would give their home more curb appeal. Our design added a lot of shade-tolerant plants such as the fern-like plum yew and weed ferms. For some color, we added carex grass and variegated pittosporum. To cut down on the erosion, we added drains from the downspouts and created some dry riverbeds that not only looked great but also stopped the water from running off between the homes. I’m happy to report Mr. and Mrs. I are much more pleased with the look of their home and delighted that mud no longer piles up on their front sidewalk.

[{"type":"0","id":"cwaBaz-IxAU","title":"Mr. and Mrs. O Landscape Video Spotlight - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"2:35","description":"Check out the new patio and landscape we installed for Mr. and Mrs. O in Dallas. Their lovely home sits on a tiny zero-lot line backyard which didn`t afford much landscape space. On their wish list was a patterned concrete patio for their new hot tub plus plants that would soften all the concrete in their backyard. Most think a small backyard doesn`t need or even deserve a good design which is not true. Small backyards are actually some of the most challenging projects we tackle at Village Green because it is imperative that you maximize every square inch. The reason that is so hard is because you usually need even more planting and you must be smart about your choices because not only is every square inch seen, it is also valuable which means you don`t want to waste any of the space with a poor plant choice. I`m happy to report that not only do Mr. and Mrs. O love their new backyard oasis. They also raved about their experience with working with the Village Green team, especially Hannah, Kristian and Salvador. In fact they were so pleased with our work and service that Mrs. O took the time to post the following review on Google. `Village Green Lawn & Landscape is a wonderful company! We couldn`t be more pleased with their design and service! We have a small backyard and wanted to turn it into something special. Village Green came out, looked at our project, made a design and implemented it wonderfully. They are top notch from the beginning to the end. Ken and his people are very professional and just a delight to work with. We can recommend without any reservations!` Mrs. O There`s that old phrase, cheap becomes expensive which certainly can be applied to landscape work. It may seem that handling your design and installation, especially on a small project like the O`s will save you money. That is not true. What tends to happen is you end up spending more money and time than you plan and still don`t get exactly what you want. I know it sounds (and is) self serving, but you really would be better off working with a reputable lawn and landscape company like Village Green. Typically, in the end you spend more time and money than you had planned and would have been better off (and a lot happier) to hire a professional landscape company (like Village Green.)
