J e and Kronda Thimesch but their journey in the landscaping business started well before that. The couple met at Texas Tech Uni- versity when they were both pursuing degrees in landscape architecture. Je graduated and started the business, and when Kronda graduated they got married and “became partners in the company, obviously,” Je said. Green Meadows Landscaping is a landscape design and mainte- nance company, o ering design for gardens, water features, patios, re pits and more. Kronda said Green Meadows Landscaping started long before the two met. For both Je and Kronda, their journey in the landscaping industry began when they were just kids. “I think we both had it in our blood,” Kronda said. Kronda has always worked for land- scaping and gardening companies, and she can remember mowing the lawn with her dad from a young age. started Green Meadows Land- scaping in 1989 in Lewisville, Je started a small lawn mowing business when he was 14 years old in Carrollton. Thanks to his dad, Je was able to keep his lawn mowing business active as he was pursuing his degree, he said. Luckily for the couple, customers
from the lawn mowing business gave them a base clientele to start Green Meadows Landscaping. “When Je graduated, he—unlike most—had a bit of a nest egg because he already had customers,” Kronda said. While the couple both have a clear love for landscaping, their own per- sonal tastes are di erent, they said. “There’s di erent plants that she likes that are a little bit more on the natural side, and I’m more structural,” Je said. “I like plants like holly that are nicely shaped.” To keep this from being an issue in their own landscaped home, they came up with a perfect solution: Je landscapes the front of their home and Kronda is in charge of the back. They used this system consistently. “That’s where our own personal tastes really shine through,” Je said. “We de nitely have very di erent opinions.” Even with this di erence in taste, the couple explained they compli- ment each other in the business. Where Je has weaknesses, Kronda has her strengths and vice versa. “We really have a place where we speak to our strengths,” Kronda said. “The other one is willing to say, ‘If this is your area and you know it better, I’m willing to concede,’ and we can nd that middle ground.”
