Lawn Care & Landscaping in Van Alstyne, TX

A brand-new yard in Van Alstyne’s Solara development and a century-old lawn a few blocks from Main Street need almost nothing in common from a lawn care crew. Van Alstyne is the only one of our five service areas with a genuine mix of both. Century-old homes downtown sit next to master-planned subdivisions still being built, plus rural acreage on the edges that neither Anna nor Princeton really has. We serve all of it, and knowing which kind of lawn we’re looking at changes the plan before we even start.

Our Services in Van Alstyne

Lawn Care

Our professional lawn care services in Van Alstyne are tailored to the property’s grass type, soil condition, shade, drainage, age, and overall layout.

• Lawn Mowing: Cuts suited to full-sun Bermuda in new subdivisions or shade-tolerant grass under Main Street’s mature trees.
• Lawn Fertilization: Feeding programs adjusted for new-construction soil or decades-old established yards.
• Weed Control: Treatment for crabgrass and Dallisgrass, whichever grass type they’re moving into.
• Aeration & Overseeding: Relief for new-build compaction or long-term soil issues on older properties.
• Leaf Removal & Seasonal Cleanup: Fall cleanup under Van Alstyne’s mature downtown canopy or freshly planted new-build trees.

Landscaping

Our complete landscaping services cover both bare builder lots and established Van Alstyne properties that need a full outdoor refresh.

• Landscape Design: Planning for bare builder lots in Solara or a full refresh on an older Van Alstyne property.
• Sod Installation: New lawns established properly, whether that’s a suburban lot or acreage out past the edge of town.
• Flower Bed Maintenance: Weeding and seasonal color suited to whatever HOA standard applies, if any does at all.
• Mulch Installation & Replenishment: Depth and material chosen for shaded historic beds or full-sun new construction.
• Hardscaping & Patio Installation: Patios, walkways, and retaining walls built for Van Alstyne’s clay soil, new build or century home alike.

Shrub & Tree Services

Our professional tree services help maintain mature shade trees, younger builder-planted trees, and larger rural properties throughout Van Alstyne.

• Shrub & Tree Trimming: Pruning for the mature trees that define Van Alstyne’s older neighborhoods.
• Shrub & Tree Removal: Safe removal of dead, diseased, or unwanted trees and shrubs.
• Stump Grinding & Removal: Full grinding so stumps stop drawing pests into the yard.
• Storm Damage / Emergency Tree Service: 24/7 response when a storm brings a limb down, especially under older, larger trees.

Pest Control

Our pest control services target the lawn and yard pests that create the most problems for Van Alstyne homeowners.

• Fire Ant Control: Mound treatment and perimeter baiting for a problem that’s active nearly year-round.
• Grub Control: Preventive treatment before turf starts lifting like carpet in late summer.
• Mosquito Control: Yard treatment for standing water, more of a concern on larger acreage lots with ponds or low spots.

About Van Alstyne

Van Alstyne sits in Grayson County rather than Collin County like our other service areas, which means different tax rates and, in some cases, different water providers. The city has nearly doubled in population since 2020, but it still feels like the most authentic small town of the five we serve. A walkable Historic Downtown District anchors that feel, full of century-old buildings, boutiques, coffee roasteries, and the Van Alstyne Historical Museum housed in the Cartwright House, built around 1890.

That history sits right next to real growth. Solara alone is bringing 453 new homes into town, joining established subdivisions like Georgetown, Steeplechase, and Windom Farms. Outside those subdivisions, Van Alstyne also has something Anna and Princeton don’t: real acreage. Plenty of one-acre-plus rural lots here have no HOA rules at all, and some properties run on septic systems instead of city utilities.

Why Choose Texas Cherry Lawns in Van Alstyne

A shaded, century-old lawn near downtown needs St. Augustine or Zoysia and an entirely different mowing height than a full-sun Bermuda lawn in Solara two miles away, and a one-acre rural property needs different equipment and timing than either one. That split personality is exactly why a generic lawn care routine doesn’t work well in Van Alstyne. We treat each property type differently instead of running every yard through the same routine, which matters more here than in cities with more uniform housing stock.
