If you don't want to have a landscaper do it for you, buy it at Lowes or Home Depot and hire some hourly wage person to plant it for you or plant it yourself. I think you have to have arc approval.

Dropping plants in the ground is not all there is to it. Good landscapers are also usually excellent design people and the same principles are used for exterior design as interior. Just throwing things in the ground looks very amateurish, if you don't know what you are doin'. My view only of course.
Perhaps I wasn't clear, sorry, I was just looking to compare and shop, to spend/invest all this money on palms and other plantings I want to get a fair deal especially with several expensive palms.

I'm not interested in design services of a landscaper, I'll utilize a landscape architect I already lined up for that.

I'm not digging holes and planting, I may be a DIY guy but that's grunt work for younger backs. So I'll get quotes for installation from local landscapers to install most everything.
