Another opinion - I think you need to tell them exactly what you want (unless you don't know).
In our case, we wanted a double Sylvester palm with a diamond cut trunk, among other things.
We also wanted a center island with a certain type of rock, hedging, etc.
We were very specific in our wants, however our estimates also varied quite a bit.
I had one interesting session with a local landscaper, who is well known for his temper.
The estimate ended when he suddenly had a temper tantrum and threatened me.

We ended up using Terrascape (back in 2011). We worked closely with the Nursery Manager, Bonnie.
We went to their landscaping store on CR 301 and chose the double palm we wanted, as well as shrubs and large rocks.
Bonnie was great, and Terrascape did a good job for us.
