Lewisville, at first glance, is a typical Texas suburb. Wedged in the northwest corner of the Dallas metroplex, the 113,000-person city encompasses a little triangle bordered by a six-lane state toll road and an interstate highway. A small downtown with shops and cafes surrounds the intersection of Church and Mill Streets. There are broad streets, ranch homes, and tidy cul-de-sacs. Until recently, almost every yard in sight was watered and trimmed to maintain a lush appearance. Like so many communities, Lewisville has been an ode to the American lawn: manicured and mowed green grass.

That reputation may be changing soon. In recent months, Lewisville has begun taking steps to transform the city from a sprawling suburb to a wildlife haven. Starting in 2019, city workers began ripping Bermuda grass out of the medians and replacing it with wildflowers. The city’s parks department hosts free workshops that help residents transform their lawns into monarch way stations. Last year, voters even approved a change to the city’s code that will allow native species to flourish on private lawns. It’s all part of a long-term vision to reimagine Lewisville’s natural spaces, and potentially the American lawn. A quarter acre at a time.

When TJ Gilmore, Lewisville’s mayor, first got into politics in 2011, he noticed that there wasn’t a lot of talk about what Lewisville wanted to be when it grew up. After a period of growth in the nineties, the town had settled into its identity as a staid, first-ring suburb and didn’t seem to be looking ahead. “I ran on the idea that we needed a plan,” Gilmore said.

As part of the process of developing a ten-year vision, Gilmore recognized that Lewisville needed to do more to distinguish itself from other North Texas cities. In 2013, a consulting firm had completed a series of surveys that showed the town’s residents wanted more accessible park spaces and a stronger culture of sustainability and healthy living.

One of the unique aspects of Lewisville is the amount of open space it manages: more than four thousand acres, most of it made up of a nature preserve that backs up to Lewisville Lake. Until the last decade or so, the open space was used mainly by a small group of hikers and other nature enthusiasts.

During the planning process, Gilmore and city staff began to rethink how they could use that open space and make the city more environmentally friendly. It wasn’t long before the idea of emphasizing native plants took hold. Part of that logic was financial—native plants would save the city money. Plants that are specifically adapted to the local environment root more deeply, require less water, and are better equipped to handle the extreme temperature swings North Texas experiences. Gilmore, who grew up in Arizona, was familiar with the concept of water scarcity.

But as the city partnered with local environmental groups, the initiative snowballed. Soon the city parks department and Friends of LLELA, a local environmental nonprofit, were building demonstration gardens in neighborhood parks, constructing three new environmental education buildings in the nature preserve, and engaging in prairie restoration studies with the University of North Texas. In December, Lewisville adopted new codes that allow residents to plant native prairie grasses in their yard that grow much higher than turf grass. (In some communities, these would be preempted by HOA rules, but most Lewisville residents don’t live in HOA-managed neighborhoods.) The most recent step, which began February 25, is a pilot program that will teach Lewisville homeowners how to transform their yards into certified pollinator and native plant habitats.

Gilmore sees all these changes as an opportunity to position Lewisville as a leader in moving residents away from green monoculture.

“We’re not going to mandate pulling out your lawn and putting in gravel,” Gilmore said. “But if I’m proud of Texas and I want to wear the big belt buckle, you have to be proud of everything. Including the prairie.”

Manicured green lawns have a cultural undertow going back to the landed gentry model, when a wealthy, British landlord class lived off rental income. According to a gardening book from 1837, “If there are lawns or grass walks, they should be frequently . . . mowed and rolled . . . to give the whole a neat, regular, carpet-like appearance.” This ideal was repackaged as a demonstration of wealth and imported to the United States with little regard for native landscapes, temperatures, or rainfall patterns. Today, we water grass in the desert, an approach that is becoming increasingly expensive and time-consuming as climate change exacerbates drought, heat, and extreme temperature swings.

When Cindy Derrick and her husband, Joe, bought their house in Lewisville, they inherited such a lawn. The small property had patchy grass and a few trees planted by developers. For years, Cindy endeavored to improve her yard and plant a garden. When her stepson was severely injured in a car accident, she began working full-time as a caregiver. Periodically, when she could get away for a few minutes, she would step out into the backyard and work on her garden—pulling weeds and watering flowers and veggies. The work centered her.

“When I was able to get out in the yard, that’s when I went to talk to God,” Derrick said. “It helps you through it.”

As time went by, she began tearing up the grass, cutting down nonnative trees, and planting native flowers that provide nectar for pollinators in what she calls the “death strip” between the sidewalk and the road. With help from a gardener friend, Derrick replaced her St. Augustine grass with native plants like milkweed, turk’s cap, bee balm, black-eyed Susan, and desert willow. She planted Mexican mint marigold and watched its blooms predict the first frost every year. Her efforts paid off, as the yard started attracting more wildlife. Earthworms showed up, then birds, lizards, and rabbits. She switched to the front yard. Before long, students from the Catholic school down her street started coming by to look at the flowers.

“I just wanted to create something that looked like it belonged around a farmhouse,” Derrick said. “I like flowers better than I like grass.”

Derrick turned to her lawn as a place of release, not because city codes or pollinator workshops convinced her to do so. But her lawn, all one thousand square feet of it, seems to sit at the center of a statewide zeitgeist in which Texans are realizing, seemingly all at once, that you can bring the beauty of the natural world to your front yard.

The emotional draw of a green lawn has endured. Even in Lewisville, some community members complained online about overgrown yards. More than one resident has called them an eyesore, a potential habitat for snakes and other dangerous critters, or criticized the city for inconsistent code enforcement. “Think code compliance would enforce their own rules! I saw a 4ft snake!” Wayne Christian wrote in the Citizens of Lewisville Facebook group in September. “If a homeowner let there [sic] grass get that tall! Wonder what would happen!” Across North Texas, many homeowner associations and town codes still ban grass higher than a few inches, even though native prairie grasses easily grow (and thrive) at seven feet tall.

But in the past decade, Texans’ mindsets seem to be shifting. In 2013, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 198, which prevented HOAs from prohibiting drought-resistant landscaping. Neighborhood garden centers have begun stocking native plants in greater abundance. Native Plant Society of Texas memberships have proliferated throughout the state; the nonprofit now has 3,908 members, up from 1,771 in 2012.

In recent years, the nonprofit’s volunteer-run native plant sales have become immensely popular. “Last spring our Williamson County plant sale sold out of native plants, got more, and then sold out again,” said Meg Inglis, the executive director of the Native Plant Society of Texas.

Inglis attributes some of the increased enthusiasm around native plants to extreme weather events, like 2021’s deep freeze, which many nonnative species didn’t survive. Education has also played a role. Research driven in part by Doug Tallamy, a professor of agriculture and natural resources at the University of Delaware, has helped illustrate the power of native plants in an ecosystem, identifying key trees and plants that host dozens of species, which in turn feed birds and earthworms.

There’s also growing recognition that native plants need not always look wild and unruly, nor do they have to be expensive. According to Andrea DeLong-Amaya, the director of horticulture at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, if a homeowner prefers the look of a manicured English garden, they can achieve that. Native plants, too, can be pruned and sheared while still providing myriad ecosystem benefits that a plant from Australia or Hawaii might not. Native plant seeds can even (with permission) be foraged in natural areas and propagated.

“The more native plants you use, the better it’s going to be for habitat,” DeLong-Amaya said. “More and more, our culture is less connected with the natural world. Plants are the foundation of that.”

In the most eco-utopian vision of the native plant movement, there’s an idea that Texas could be rewilded, quarter acre by quarter acre. Studies have shown that urban areas can be an effective habitat for many species—sometimes more effective than rural, agricultural regions, which may have more open space but are filled with monoculture crops, such as cotton and corn, that host fewer species.

Still, it’s unlikely that we are going to restore a pristine native prairie ecosystem. For Texans untrained in horticulture or botany, it may not always even be evident what is supposed to be there and what isn’t. Pesticide use, habitat destruction, and climate change will continue to contribute to biodiversity loss. There is no magic bullet.

Gardening is on the rise, however, with 18 million Americans taking up the hobby for the first time in 2020, according to the National Gardening Survey. As more gardeners fill yards and apartment complexes with native plants, it’s possible cities could begin to create healthier wildlife corridors. Lewisville, one small change at a time, one yard at a time, may be undergoing that transformation. Derrick’s yard will be one piece of the puzzle.

Derrick still doesn’t know if she and her husband will stay in Lewisville permanently. She recently had hip surgery, and is slowing down a little at age 74. But for now, she’ll be out in the garden.

“I’ll be out here in my walker,” Derrick said. “As long as I’m able, I’ll keep going.”

Update: This story has been updated with clarification from the district.

Lewisville school officials will hire a “neutral third party” to review allegations about racial discrimination that arose after a 13-year-old girl who thought she overheard a threat was punished.

The middle schooler said she overheard a classmate tell another boy not to come to campus the next day. The teen talked with friends and then her mother about what she heard. Administrators wanted to kick the young girl — who is Black — out of school for making a false accusation about school safety, according to an account of the girl’s experience The Dallas Morning News reported earlier this month.

Asked who would be investigating and how much they would be paid, Lewisville ISD spokeswoman Amanda Brim said many details are yet to be determined. The probe will “fully investigate allegations of racial discrimination,” she noted.

“A thorough investigation into claims of racial discrimination will take place,” Brim said. “Because the investigation has not yet begun, it would not be appropriate to speculate on what will be reviewed.”

Chantell Upshaw, Lewisville’s chief of middle schools, wrote to Lakeview Middle School families in a Wednesday email updating them on the situation, while noting officials were limited in what they could say because of federal privacy laws.

Upshaw wrote that “it is important for me to address the claim that the situation was racially motivated.”

“In light of a recently submitted grievance related to this situation, which formally alleges racial discrimination, the district is hiring a neutral third party with no connection to the district to review this situation,” she wrote. “We will communicate further with you once that investigation is finalized.”

The News is not naming the girl because she is a minor.

The girl said she was in gym class when she heard a classmate say, “Don’t come to school tomorrow.” After school let out, she messaged friends in two group chats before reporting the situation to her mother, Lisa Youngblood.

The Lakeview administration quickly got wind of the situation when it happened in late January, and called Youngblood to hear her daughter’s account. Police investigated the matter that evening and determined there was no threat to campus safety.

But because of how the girl processed her fears — telling her friends in group messages instead of immediately reporting it to an adult at school or through the anonymous tip reporting system — the administration disciplined her. She was punished for making a false accusation about school safety.

She was initially given three days of suspension, followed by a 73-day assignment to alternative school. Lakeview Assistant Principal Sharla Samples said the girl’s action had a “great impact.”

“Several people were scared about the safety of the school because her messages started spreading. Communication had to be sent out to the whole school community … which in itself worried some parents,” the administrator is heard saying in a recording of a discipline hearing obtained by The News.

Shocked at the severity of the discipline, Youngblood twice appealed the decision. She won, and her daughter was recently allowed to return to Lakeview.

As part of her appeal, Youngblood also probed the racial disparities in Lewisville ISD discipline.

Black students represent 12% of Lewisville’s student population, but nearly one-third of alternative school placements involved Black students last school year.

Youngblood has since filed a formal complaint against the school administrators.

Upshaw’s email to families pushed back on the idea the girl was punished for reporting.

“Please reinforce with your children — if you see something, immediately say something to a trusted adult,” she wrote. “We routinely praise students for coming forward with a concern, even if after a thorough investigation it is determined no threat existed.”

“This move is another opportunity for us to showcase our collaborative and innovative culture,” said McAdams Regional Vice President, Bobby Dollak. “We’re creating a space that not only inspires creativity, collaboration and growth among our entire team, but also propels us to a new level of success.”

Situated off State Highway 121 and overlooking Lewisville Lake, the 30,000-square-foot office will allow McAdams to nearly double the size of its team. Featuring dedicated work, meeting and “We” spaces, the new environment will promote a culture of collaboration and aid in the firm’s objective to attract and retain top-tier industry talent. According to Gensler, the architecture, design and planning firm leading the buildout, they plan to create an environment that sparks positive change and promotes flexibility, productivity and shared purpose among the McAdams team.

Developed by Bright Realty, The Realm at Castle Hills offers numerous amenities, including walkable retail options, restaurants and single and multifamily residential communities.

“We’re thrilled that McAdams has selected The Realm as their new home,” said Lucas Patterson, Executive Vice President of Commercial Operations at Bright Realty. “Our vision has always been to create a mixed-use environment that would allow businesses to grow and employees to thrive. We’re honored by the role Bright Realty will play in the bright future that’s ahead for McAdams at The Realm.”

Completion of the new space is currently anticipated for fall 2023. Until then, McAdams’ team of approximately 65 employees will continue to office at 111 Hillside Drive and at 201 Country View Drive in Roanoke.

Although McAdams has been established in Lewisville for more than 30 years, the strategic decision to stay within city limits serves to strengthen relationships with surrounding communities, particularly within Collin and Denton Counties. The region is currently a hub for mixed-use developments and master-planned communities, including McAdams’ projects such as Furst Ranch, Anna and Weston Lagoon Communities and the River Walk at Central Park and Lakeside Crossing in Flower Mound.

“It’s difficult to imagine a Lewisville without McAdams,” said Lewisville City Manager, Claire Powell. “They’ve always been exceptional corporate citizens, fully engaged with and invested in our community. Working with the McAdams team has always been seamless, and we couldn't ask for a better partnership."
