High School Students Gain Valuable Experience, and Tex-Scapes Gains Future Employees
Tex-Scapes Nursery and Landscape is proud to offer a high school Apprenticeship Program, which allows teens a chance to learn a trade in the green industry. We believe the green industry is the most fulfilling career choice of our lifetime. By giving high school students a chance to work at our company, we hope to inspire and train the future generation.
The Apprenticeship Program has been evolving and growing over time. It began with our growth partnership program in which students grow a crop inside hanging baskets. They do all the work from start to finish. We picked out the plants and provided the materials, and we instruct them on the growing process. When the students finished, we market the hanging baskets to the community through our garden center. We continue to see success, one student after another with programs like these.
We made a video that further explains the program and gives you one student's perspective on the process. This student is now a full-time employee at Tex-Scapes. We have also encouraged her to go through the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association's nursery professional program so that she can further her knowledge and gain certification.
The Apprenticeship Program begins in the classroom. We show the above video to students and let them see how the program has worked out for one student. We leave applications with the students, which they can fill out if they are interested. We offer multiple positions, and we are excited to expand the program even more. There are so many positions available in the green industry, and we love to see young people learning the trade and gaining valuable experience that they can actually use.

A Proven Process from Beginning to End
Our landscape design process begins with your first phone call. If you are interested in our design services, we'll set up a consultation at your property. We'll go over your landscape area together, talking about your ideas and gathering initial data. You can ask us questions, and we'll ask a few of our own. The initial consultation is for learning about each other and how Tex-Scapes can help you. We hope you'll come to trust us as we begin a new professional relationship.
After the first consultation, we'll come up with a design plan. We always custom-make our landscape designs. Everything is based on your unique property and your needs. We will explain this first design plan to you in detail, and you'll have the opportunity to tell us what you think. We count on your honest input, so that we can create a landscape you'll enjoy.
At Tex-Scapes, we take into account your budget and timeline. Your time and money are valuable. That's why our process includes clear estimates of the costs and the time it will take to complete the project. We will also list the materials that will be used in your landscape. If you ever have any questions, we're right here! We'll take the time to listen and answer your questions.
