First I will say not to buy from the door pounders who come to you in the weeks right after you move in. Not because they are all unworthy contractors, but some of them are, and nothing, NOTHING has to be done at once. Take your time and wait for changes to water supply, adding pest treatments, painting driveways or even if you will add downspouts to the back of your home. Wait to see who your neighbors use for lawn maintainance.
Please jump in here and add your comments here everyone.

WARNING
beware of landscaping services performed by
"DOUBLE DISCOUNT LANDSCAPING SERVICE"
prior leaving for a doctors appointment, my wife instructed them what specifically she wanted done. upon completion, the workers came to the front door and I paid them in cash (mistake #1). since I am slightly physically disabled I did not go out to inspect their work (mistake #2). when my wife returned, she was appalled to see the shoddy trimming of the shrubs and did not trim any part of the palm tree and did not clean up any of the clippings that were spread all over the property. Numerous calls to their office went unanswered and no response to my messages. seniors against crime reports three prior complaints against this company. an expensive lesson has been learned here. they also advertise in the classified section of the daily Sun. So BEWARE
