Meet Our Owner: Jeff McCauley
Jeff always knew he wanted to work with plants: he started his horticulture career at age 15 with a job in a retail garden center in Dallas. While earning his horticulture degree at Texas A&M, he started Shades of Green as a lawn mowing company with his friend and business partner, Rob Wier. It grew from there into the full-service plant nursery, garden center, and landscaping service you know today as Shades of Green Nursery + Landscape.
With more than 40 years of experience, Jeff knows Texas native plants and is an expert in drought-tolerant landscaping.
