We were pleased the day they drove away, too.

Three years later, in spite of our best efforts, we need a great deal of remedial work. We had a rose tree and shrub roses that looked beautiful for 6 months, then they stopped blooming and began loosing their leaves. I dead-headed in an effort to make it bloom again. The roses never should have been planted here.

We have 8 other plants that are not thriving. They want shade and an acidic soil. They were planted in full sun, in neutral Ph sand.

More irrigation lines need to be added, which means moving the rock and running new lines. We trusted the landscaper to know Florida needs, as we did not.

I suggest you wait a year to see how your plantings hold up before hiring Ron's Landscaping. Hopefully you will have a better outcome.
