(Tried to post this earlier and not sure it went through)

Because of the recs coming from TOTV, I was going to call Stellar for an estimate. It turns out I was able to flag them down out front while petting someone's little dogs. Garrett was the person who came in and gave us an estimate. Our friends who moved here in October had seen Stellar's flyer in our house and thought the price was great.

Garrett is now installing our doughnuts, will be doing pest control and lawn fert. We'll wait to sign up for mowing. (We've only been here two days and our Visa card is overheating.) But the price seemed as reasonable as our friends' mower's charge. Plus his prices are good for 13 months, so there's a savings there too.

When we finally get around to enhancing the landscaping, they will give us 10% off. So far, we're very pleased. Will let you know more later. But I like having everything bundled with one company.

The day we moved in, someone showed up with two huge palms on a trailer and wanted to sell them to us. Said they were Washingtonians. We said no because we're not ready for that yet, and later found out that Washingtonians grow to be 100 feet. I guess I'm glad we turned him down, and will be very cautious about people just showing up at the door.
