What a roller coaster we’ve seen the past few weeks with our weather and temperatures! At our household, we were lucky, only a few pipe breaks, but we always kept our electricity and water. I know many of you were not as fortunate. In addition to this weather being hard on people, it is especially […]
We have compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions regarding the Village Green fertilization and weed control plan. How much does it cost? Small Lawn = $55 to $65 plus tax per visit. Medium Lawn = $65 to $85 plus tax per visit (medium is the average size for most customers.) Large Lawn […]
A critical component in a happy and healthy lawn and landscape is proper drainage. Your lawn’s health depends on how well it can retain and drain water. While grass needs the right amount to grow, too much water can impede oxygen uptake, slow metabolic processes and invite root rot. To make matters worse, in North […]
At Village Green a sure sign that spring is near is the arrival of henbit North Texas lawns. And while any sign of spring is at some level is welcome, henbit is a weed. As far as weeds go, henbit is pretty, with a rich green and cute purple flower, but we still don’t like […]

Here he walks through a customer’s lawn detailing how their weed control program is working. […]

What are we doing in January and February to make lawns look great in the spring? We’re applying a weed preventative to block the weeds before they even start. We can’t prevent all weeds from growing but we can prevent a lot of them. There are basically two types of weeds, the kind that […]
Take a look at these bare patches in the bermuda lawn below. I see patches like these very frequently, any idea what causes them? The second photo is a close up of what is causing the problem – rabbit droppings. The droppings are so acidic they will burn holes through bermuda. Possible solutions include scattering […]
This is Virginia Buttonweed. What makes it tough to control is its viney roots underground. Most weed killers that are labeled for dandelions such as 2-4-D products will control it but you’ll need to make several applications to kill out all of the roots that it has. It’s this kind of weed that sends most […]
