Plants and Trees information Page

Everyone has a different taste in music, food, fashion, etc.. So, it only makes sense that every individual has his/her own personalities and ideas about what beauty is in terms of an extortionary landscape, and what it  should look like to fit their personalities.

On this page we will briefly cover some of the most common/popular bushes, flowers, and trees among the Brazos, Texas area. Note we have separated these items into seasonal and evergreens. The goal of this page is to help contractors or homeowners create their own ideas and/or consider any additional plants.


For more information on how to take care of a certain plant or wish to learn more in depth about a specific plant, or general knowledge about gardens/landscape, please visit this website that we recommend: https://www.gardenguides.com/ 

  • Garden Guides have tons of useful tips and tricks along with great information on about any plant, grass, or tree.


At Vision Landworks  we use Circle D Nursery as our supplier for mulch, gravel, and plants. If there is certain type of plant/tree not listed on this page, you can view their inventory here: http://circlednurseries.com/trees.html
