"Southern Appeal responded to my call promptly. I met with Mr. Trawick at the house so he could provide me with an estimate. I wanted to take it all back to the fences with greenery around the border, use of some existing ground cover and a paved walkway. A couple days later he emailed me his first estimate which included a lot of pine straw. While I wanted to keep costs down, I also didn't want a yard full of straw. I asked him to rework it by making the paved area larger. After I got the revised estimate and agreed on the work he started a couple weeks later. The project took about two weeks. I will say that his workers were professional and courteous. One of his sons was the crew manager. Some days they worked 8 hours but some days they were there 4 hours. The entire project took about two weeks. So, the yard went from a total embarrassment to spectacular. I will caution anyone who uses this or any other service to discuss specific plants. I had a total of about 10 different types of plants. I thought that was too much variety for my taste. It took me a couple weeks of critiquing the work to realize I liked some plants much better than others. So, I called Mr. Trawick and asked him what we could. I also spoke to him about doing another smaller job in the front yard so he combined the estimates.
The plants were warrantied for 90 days so when one of the ferns died in the first week, they replaced it the day after I called about it.
Job #2 was replacing 6 plants in the back with the ones that I liked better and doing a smaller job in the front yard. The front job was transplanting two sago palms that were competing for space, enlarging the planting area with new border and removing a large jasmine vining all up in everything. That job took only one half day.
Job #1: 10,500
Job #2: 600
Overall, very pleased with the work and how it looks. Nothing but compliments from everyone one because the yard is so inviting and a great place to entertain.
