Customer Testimonials
- I’ve had numerous landcaping companies that have taken care of all the plants, shrubs and yard. Desiree Gardens is by far the best ever. She is attentive to detail & I love my yard. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is but you need to have her do your work!
- Buddy Moses - Our yard started out as not much and they have worked hard to make progress and work within our budget allowing my wife to pick the plants and trees and undercover that fits our style. Desiree Gardens was the only landscaper that would take on our project and they have done a wonderful job in making it look great and progressing on the yard without it looking under construction. The cost could have been more than we wanted to take on all at one time but we have had a great time building it and making it look nice. Our landscape is on a very steep hill so it is unique and has taken some creativity to get us where we wanted to be. Thank you so much for working on it and making our house have the personality that Karen really has become proud of. This year I cannot wait to see what you do and see the plants as they continue to bloom and fill out.
- Brett Wassell - Desiree has been my landscaper/gardener for the last several years. She has a vast knowledge of plants and knows which plants will thrive in which areas of my garden. She has a great eye for design and always meets my requirement of planting things that are easy for me to maintain. 😀 Also she’s very dependable and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend her!

Prepping for Your Fall Garden
Finally, there is a hint of cooler weather, and the return of the fall rains is nearly upon us. This means your garden is ready to explode back to life, and we can’t wait to see all that beautiful fall garden color! Irrigation This summer’s heat and lack of rain have seriously tested most irrigation systems. Some of you may have gardens and lawns that look like they have been blasted by the summer heat. If there are areas of your sprinkler system that are broken, or where perhaps it simply didn’t get enough water in the right places, it should be patently obvious now. Take the time to address any problems with your irrigation now so that your plants will have a fighting chance to recover in time for winter. Fall Plantings Towards the end of the month, start planning and purchasing fall bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths…
What’s Going On In My Garden? – August Update
The heat is still here, and the rains haven’t been consistent for quite some time. But the good news is that fall rains and cooler weather are right around the corner. Now is the time to get your garden ready for its fall glory. Flowering Plants Your summer annuals and hot weather perennials are likely done or nearing the end of their bloom cycle. For your flowering annuals, you can let them go to seed in hopes that they reseed themselves for you next year. Zinnias and marigolds are very reliable in this fashion. Other flowering annuals, you can dead-head some species such as coleus, begonias, and impatiens as the petals fall off. This spurs them into creating more flowers instead of devoting their energy to creating seeds. The same can be done for your flowering perennials like roses. Roses should also be pruned to stimulate new growth. Climbing roses…
Surviving North Texas Summers: Tips for a Thriving Garden
This is the time of year when people find out if they chose the right plant in the right place with the right amount of water. The opposite of the deep-freeze of winter, this scorching summer heat and lack of rain is pushing plants to their limit. We are inundated with customers complaining about dead gardens and lawns. With water restrictions in place, it is really difficult to get your plants and grass enough water to withstand the onslaught of summer. It doesn’t have to be this way. Properly designed, with sufficient moisture from an irrigation system or obsessive hand watering, your garden can in fact survive the summers of North Texas. As part of this, it is critical to water your plants deeply and infrequently. Deep watering is critical to helping your plants establish deep roots. Plants that are frequently watered may have the roots find their way closer…
Plant Focus: Turk’s Cap Malvaviscus arboreus
This North Texas native excels in our climate and should have a place in nearly every garden. This perennial can get over four feet tall and nearly three feet wide in the far north of it’s habitat. In warmer climates where it grows year-round it can tower over seven feet tall. The Turk’s Cap can tolerate a wide variety of soil and water conditions and it has adapted to a wide range of climates with a range that extends from USDA zone 7 all the way south to Florida, Cuba, Mexico, and the entirety of the Gulf Coast. In southern climates that rarely get freezing weather the Turk’s Cap is an evergreen plant and will flower year-round. Further north it will die back to the ground in colder weather and reemerge every spring as a woody perennial. Malvaviscus arboreus is often found as an understory plant where it thrives in…
