In Irving, a new approach to landscaping is being implemented. Landscaping crews are working to control overgrowth and invasive plant species. This effort is part of a larger green initiative.

As part of this initiative, livestock are being used to help with landscaping tasks on public lands. Further details about this initiative are available from the Texas Standard. The use of livestock for landscaping duties is a notable aspect of this effort, but specifics about the program are not provided here.
