"A challenge gated community has rules & regs we replaced existing overgrown Oleanders planted very close to pool cage was used a buffer from cars on street. We removed both Oleander's & Arboricola's cleaned out entire area & planted it up with mostly Native plants & small trees like Allspice. We located larger plants 10-14 feet away from cage & planted smaller lower growing plants between larger plants & cage offering more of a buffer. Sadly some of the Native plants just don't look good when 1st planted (usually the case w/small natives). Visited the site the other day as clients are out of town, plants are filling out nicely."

"Gated community could not access the site when we did client did not know anything is, waterfall is in pool operated through a remote control that did not work, check wires checked voltage while there & could not get it to respond. Told client pool service company needs to replace parts & cannot, suggested pool company to continue work."

"The site was unusual & home owner had contractor who destroyed existing native settings, we cleaned up others mess, was able to create a pleasing outdoor living space form start to finish & save the client 1000's of dollars. Great people to work for, they understood the value in going with native landscapes alto some exotics are used, the place has eye catching appeal."

"Project had more issues than we where told. had to come back the following day?"

"Tried to explain to clients can not install larger pipe on to smaller pipe does not increase flow, they wanted to do things that no one will do that is a professional in the business. They became angry with us, treated my foreman poorly, I was not happy, no reason for people to get upset about something that is beyond our control."
