College Fund Landscaping is drawing attention to its educational origins during the back-to-school period, connecting the start of a new academic year to the company’s long-standing focus on supporting students. The lawn care and landscaping business, established nearly three decades ago, continues programs that assist local high school seniors and college students with tuition costs as families prepare for the return to classrooms and campuses.
Matt Davis founded the company in 1996 while attending Plano Senior High School. The venture began as a lawn-mowing service intended to generate funds for his own college education. Davis later graduated debt-free and chose to expand the operation into a full-service provider of lawn care and landscaping while directing a portion of resources toward helping other students pursue higher education. The company’s name remains a direct reference to that original purpose.
Each year, College Fund Landscaping conducts a Client Scholarship Raffle. Customers are invited to nominate high school seniors or students already enrolled in college. Fifteen winners are selected, and funds are sent directly to the recipients’ educational institutions to help reduce tuition balances. In addition, the company maintains a scholarship contribution to the University of North Texas Business School, the institution Davis attended. These efforts form a consistent part of the business model rather than isolated initiatives.
“College Fund Landscaping started as a way to pay for college, and today it helps students pursue the same opportunity,” said Matt, Owner.
The timing of the back-to-school season provides a natural point of reflection on the link between the company’s daily operations and its educational commitments. As students and families face the costs associated with tuition, supplies, and related expenses, the ongoing scholarship activity continues a practice that has been in place for many years. The company also conducts an annual food drive supporting the North Texas Food Bank, further illustrating a pattern of community involvement that began with the founder’s personal experience.
College Fund Landscaping provides fertilization, weed control, mowing, tree and shrub care, landscaping installations, and seasonal maintenance services to residential properties. The company holds relevant applicator licenses and maintains ongoing training for its team. Its approach emphasizes reliable scheduling and practical solutions suited to local growing conditions.
“Giving back has always been part of the business model, not just a marketing strategy,” continued Matt.
The connection between hard work in the field and investment in education remains central to the company’s identity. What started as one student’s effort to fund tuition has developed into a sustained practice of assisting others facing similar financial pressures. Scholarship recipients have included students at various institutions, with the company receiving thank-you correspondence acknowledging the practical relief provided by the direct payments.
As the academic year begins, College Fund Landscaping continues both its professional services and its educational support activities. The business operates as a family-owned enterprise that has grown steadily while preserving the original emphasis on opportunity through education. Its combination of lawn care and landscaping work with consistent scholarship contributions reflects the values established at its founding.
College Fund Landscaping remains focused on delivering lawn care and landscaping services while maintaining its long-term commitment to student support. The back-to-school period serves as a reminder of the educational foundation that shaped the company and continues to guide its community efforts, emphasizing the importance of nurturing local talent and fostering a love for learning.
