When to Plant in North Texas
The metroplex runs on its own clock, and the biggest planting mistake here is following a national calendar. The short version:
The best planting window in North Texas. Roots establish all winter, so fall-planted shrubs and perennials outrun spring plantings by a year. If you plant one thing this year, plant it now.
Second best. Color, herbs and vegetables go in after the last freeze, before the heat arrives.
Heat-proven plants only, planted early in the day and watered like you mean it. Ask before you buy.
Structure, planning and pansies. The quiet season is when good spring yards get decided.

Advice That Comes With Dirt Under Its Nails
Reviewers put it simply: the staff gave them direction for the whole garden project. Bring a photo of the bed, the sun pattern, even the dead plant you are replacing. You will leave with the right plant and a plan, not a guess.
And when the project outgrows a weekend, our sister company Secret Gardens designs and installs full landscapes.
