Median Refresh in Full Bloom Along Turtle Creek Boulevard

Chinese Lace Bark Elm being installed

A seasonal upgrade for one of Turtle Creek’s signature features.

Turtle Creek’s medians have always been a defining element of the boulevard—offering beauty, greenery, and a touch of elegance to all who pass by. This summer, those medians got a thoughtful refresh, continuing our commitment to keeping the corridor vibrant and well cared for.

All 25 medians were recently inspected to identify dead, dying, or underperforming plantings. Thanks to that detailed review, several enhancements have been made, including the addition of new dwarf crape myrtles, drift roses, and other resilient, colorful plantings. One standout addition: a stately Chinese Lace Elm now graces the triangle at Fitzhugh Avenue, adding structure and shade to a prominent corner.

Bold, bright, and blooming — just how we like our medians.

This refresh ensures that the medians remain one of Turtle Creek’s points of pride—not just for their visual appeal, but for the role they play in unifying the landscape and softening the urban environment.

Still to come: a fresh layer of mulch will be applied to each median, helping with moisture retention and weed control while giving the final polished look.

It’s all part of our ongoing effort to ensure that Turtle Creek remains as beautiful and welcoming as ever—for residents, visitors, and nature alike.
