Agreed Nell.
So many landscaper/nurseries out for a quick buck.
Remember, there is NO ZERO MAINTENANCE.
Everything that grows needs water, food, and the much overlooked.. PROPER pH window for the soil.
The newer the area (of The Villages) you live in, the more likely someone is trying to scam you into a poorly designed landscape. Get a couple estimates, learn what the plants and trees they suggest look like, and then drive North of Hwy 44 and look at those homes and how those suggestions look now. If you don't see ANY of those plants or trees, call some more landscape designers.
Big difference between a REAL landscape designer, and a landscape salesman. Only a handful of good designers out there with the integrity to endanger a sale by being honest with you. Unfortunate we can't service every homeowner that wants a good landscape as soon as you move in, but if you have any doubts, just keep calling for estimates till you find that unicorn.
