The MOST VALUABLE assets of your home!

Aside from your home, for most homeowners, your trees are the most valuable assets of your property. Most people don't think about that, but Trees are investments! Think of it this way, what's the cost of a 5 gallon tree versus a 500 gallon tree? A significant difference! Although trees are not listed as a value item on an appraisal, they improve the marketability & visual appeal which drives more attention and competition for your property. Conversely, if your trees are impr

What's the difference? Palms vs Trees

It's not uncommon to mistake a Palm for a Tree. There's a lot of similarities, especially when it comes to the large sweeping Medjool or the Sylvester! They can get very large, they create substantial canopies for shade and even resemble trees! However, these characteristics are not enough to classify palms as trees. So what's the difference and why should you care? Well, technically the Palm is not a tree rather grass! Difference #1: There are several distinctions between ac

The Dirty Little Secret of Landscape Business

Whether you're shopping for large Medjool and Sylvester Palms, or smaller landscape materials like plants and shrubs, there's a few little industry secrets that you may not know. Secret #1: Price doesn't provide the full picture QUALITY: Asking for pricing on a 100 gallon Medjool Palm from one retailer to another might give you a false impression. Not all 100G Medjools are created equally! Because they are living/breathing things, how these Palms are raised, treated, where th

Large Landscape Material Installation

When it comes to installing large, 100+ gallon, landscape materials, it's critical to hire people you trust. There are a few mistakes companies make which cost their clients a lot of money: 1) Time: Not every landscaper has the ability to acquire large material quickly. If the delay causes launch delays, that could cost a developer a lot of money. 2) Execution: Large material has nuance, where it should be planted for sunlight, how large the root systems are, etc. If a large

Our client over spent by 100% and how to avoid it.

Just because we're a tree farm, doesn't mean we can't provide homeowners with below retail pricing on top quality landscape materials from small to large project requirements. One of our clients had recently installed some grass through a local vendor before meeting us. He was not aware that we offered grass/sod materials and installation services. Unfo

Visiting some of our Medjools (& a giant Christmas tree) at Memorial City Mall....

When it comes to Medjools, there's nobody that sells more for less than Verdant Tree Farm and Landscape. That's why we were called upon for the project at Memorial City Mall! The developer required large Medjool Palms installed with no disruption or damage to the property and that's exactly what we did! The palms are transformational to the property and immediately changed the entire tone to a more relaxed, inviting exterior. Large Medjools and Date Palms are a particular spe
