Carrollton homeowners who want a sharp yard without losing their weekends to it have a local crew right up the road. Van Vickle Brothers Landscaping is a family-owned company based in Irving, and we've kept North Dallas yards green since 2017 — lawn care, landscape design, sod, mulch and flower beds, rock and xeriscape work, and seasonal cleanups for homes across Carrollton.
Carrollton sits a short drive up the President George Bush Turnpike from our shop at 728 Bellah Dr in Irving, which means tight routes and consistent service — the same two brothers, Michael and Dominic, who actually remember your property. We're licensed, insured, and 5-star rated with 85 Google reviews from neighbors around the area.
What landscaping services do you offer in Carrollton?
We're a one-stop crew for the whole yard, which beats coordinating a separate mowing service, bed guy, and sod company. In Carrollton we handle:
• Weekly and biweekly lawn care — mowing, edging, line-trimming, and blow-off, cut at the right height for the season
• Landscape design and installation — full yard makeovers, planting, and bed redesigns
• Sod installation — replacing dead, thin, or shaded-out turf with fresh St. Augustine or Bermuda
• Mulch, flower beds, and seasonal color — clean, defined beds that make the whole front of the house look finished
• Rock and xeriscape landscaping — low-water gravel beds, borders, and drought-tough plantings that stand up to a Texas summer
• Spring and fall cleanups and leaf removal — getting beds and lawns ready for the season ahead
How much does lawn care and landscaping cost in Carrollton?
It depends on lot size, what shape the yard's in, and how often you want us out. Most weekly mowing on a standard Carrollton lot runs in a predictable per-visit range, and bigger projects like sod installation or a full bed redesign are quoted after we walk the property. We give a straight, written estimate for free — no pressure, no long contracts, no surprise add-ons.
The fastest way to get a real number is to call or text us and we'll come look. Lawn care in Carrollton is easy to schedule because we're already running routes nearby in Irving and Farmers Branch, and over in Las Colinas and Grand Prairie.
Why does Carrollton landscaping need a local crew?
Because North Texas dirt and weather punish guesswork. Carrollton's older neighborhoods — the established streets near Historic Downtown Carrollton and around Josey Ranch Lake — have mature trees that throw heavy shade and big roots, which thins out St. Augustine and makes mowing height and bed placement matter more than people think.
Then there's the soil. Carrollton sits on the same expansive black clay as the rest of the metroplex, and it bakes hard in summer near the Elm Fork of the Trinity. Clay holds water, then cracks, so what you plant and how you prep the bed determines whether it survives July. We choose grasses and plants built for this, and we prep properly so the work actually lasts — that's also why rock and xeriscape designs are popular here, since they shrug off the heat with almost no watering.
Do you work in older neighborhoods near Downtown Carrollton?
Yes — the historic core around the town square and Old Denton Road is some of our favorite work. Older Carrollton homes often have tired beds, shade where grass won't grow, and overgrown plantings that have crept past their prime. We're good at bringing a mature landscape back: reworking shady patches, refreshing beds with fresh mulch and seasonal color, and laying new sod where the old turf gave up.
We also serve the newer builds out toward the Bush Turnpike, where homeowners are setting up a yard from scratch and want a clean, low-maintenance design they don't have to babysit.
