PLANTING SEEDS OF SERVICE

Daystar Landscapes Giving Back To The Community

Texoma is fortunate to be home to many outstanding local businesses. Among them are a select few that stand out not only for their professional excellence but also for their deep commitment to community service. Daystar Landscapes, Inc., owned by Jeff and Donna Canfield, is one of those companies.

For more than 41 years, Daystar Landscapes, Inc. has been more than a landscaping company in the communities it serves. It has been a trusted partner in growth, beauty, and overall well-being. As a long-standing local business, Daystar has helped shape not only physical landscapes, but also the heart of the neighborhoods and the people who call Texoma home.

According to Catherine Brooks, General Manager, “Our legacy is rooted in integrity, service, and genuine relationships that have strengthened the community for decades. Giving back has always been central to Daystar Landscapes’ mission.”

Brooks shares that the company proudly supports local schools, city initiatives, neighborhood revitalization efforts, and community events that bring people together. Daystar’s leadership team and employees consistently step forward by donating their time, talent, and resources to projects that reflect the company’s values of service, stewardship, and connection.

“Daystar Landscapes is deeply committed to supporting nonprofit and community organizations that make a lasting difference in the lives of local residents,” Brooks explains. “We proudly partner with and support the Grayson and Collin County Master Gardeners Association, Texoma Homeless Shelter, Texas Food Bank, the Child & Family Guidance Center of Texoma, and first responders through the American Defenders Foundation, which provides services and support to our local police, military, and first responders. We contribute donated labor, professional services, and materials to help these organizations thrive, ensuring that families, students, and vulnerable populations receive meaningful care and opportunity.”

As Daystar celebrates more than four decades of service, its dedication to the community remains as strong as ever. “By creating sustainable and innovative outdoor environments and nurturing long-standing relationships with residents, businesses, and civic leaders, we continue to invest in the future of our cities,” Brooks says. “Our success is measured not only by longevity, but by the positive and lasting impact we have made in the communities we proudly serve.”

Daystar Landscapes, Inc. was founded in 1984 by Jeff Canfield. When Jeff first moved to Texas, he launched the company by going door to door with a rented wheelbarrow and tools purchased on a Sears credit card, all while working nights as a grocery store stocker. Those early days established the work ethic and grit that still define Daystar today: show up, do it right, keep your word, and keep serving.

Daystar Landscapes, Inc. specializes in commercial landscape development and installation, commercial landscape maintenance, community home builder and custom home builder landscape design and installation, and residential landscape design, enhancement, and installation. “We believe God has blessed us with the talents and ability to work with the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to use those gifts to support organizations doing meaningful work,” Brooks notes. “To us, service is more than giving back. It is kingdom work.”
