Thanks
We used TerraScape over on route 301. Landscape designer came to the house and drew up a plan for us. They ask 20% down rest due upon completion. They did a great job and we are very satisfied. We had curbing, stack walls and an island on the side yard with palms, filled in with seminole rock (red rocks). Don't know if they are reasonable on cost as we did not get any other estimates. Just liked their work and went with them based on landscaping work we had done in VA.
