Texas Sun Yard in Burning Tree 2610 Short Branch cul-de-sac 78247 This yard is on the opposite corner of the two shade yards. The plan was to leave a small portion of the grass that was doing well, and work out from there. The rest of the lawn was replaced by subtle mulched berms to create a rolling effect.
