Fall officially arrived in North Texas last Thursday. This week, our temperatures are coming down, so people are thinking about getting out and adding color to their lawns (this time of year, most flower beds and borders are beginning to look tired from our long hot summer.) It might seem counterintuitive, but fall is one […]
In today’s video, we want to tell you about spurge, a fast-growing weed we see in late summer here in North Texas. Spurge tends to pop up after summer rain when we also have high temperatures and humidity. Spurge is a tough weed because it grows low to the ground and spreads fast! If you […]
Trailing Rosemary makes our best plants for North Texas list. Our favorite part about this plant is the soft little blue blooms (somewhat purplish) this plant produces. It blooms sporadically throughout the year and will bloom in North Texas during our winter months. If you like a nice pop of color in your landscape, this […]
In early April, we received so many calls from people worried about their fringe flowers (also known as Loropetalum.) These popular plants took a real hit from the February freeze. I did a video specifically on Loropetalum (watch it here https://youtu.be/CpzRgOBtxFg). I’m happy to share some good news from all that freezing weather we had […]
As we start looking at how our landscapes weathered the snow and frigid temperatures we had in February, I know we have many customers worried about their new landscapes. What is our guarantee after all this extreme winter weather? It’s the same as it always has been. Village Green will do the right thing for […]

Also, many customers have contacted us concerned about the continuation of our services since spring has sprung in North Texas. It’s times like these that show us […]
How about this weather? It’s hard to complain about these cooler temperatures and rain, but it does bring Brown Patch, which we’ve been seeing a lot of in the past week. We typically don’t see Brown Patch until later September in North Texas, but with these cooler temperatures at night, we are seeing some brown […]
I’m frequently asked, “What’s the best time of year to plant?” Technically the answer from best to worst seasons are: • fall • winter • spring (yes, the season everyone thinks about landscape is third best) • summer The reason I rank the seasons in this way is logical if you stop and consider that […]
I’ve been getting a lot of people asking me what can be done about all the crab grass and other weeds they’re seeing in their lawn this fall. The good news is most are summer weeds that will go away soon. The bad news is these weeds have already left their seeds in the lawn […]
As the temperature gets closer and closer to the century mark, I get more and more questions about how to keep your lawn and landscape looking good in this Texas heat. Not to mention during Stage 3 water restrictions. First, you need to water for about sixty minutes in the summer. That can vary based […]
