am continually surprised at the gullibility and naivety of many villages residents. we seem to be smart enough to purchase a home, but when it somes to many kinds of contractors our common sense and prior life experiences are not being used. i am amazed how many of us only consider price when purchasing items for the home (landscaping, carpet, furniture) and overlook quality, trust and honesty, business longevity and ethics, and many other things that enable us to make an educated choice. why do we assume that if somone has a pickup truck and a shovel that they are suddenly a reputable landscape contractor? do they have a physical location(not a p.o. box) where you can view plants? do they have a business license (federal tax i.d.#)? proof of liability insurance? client references?
please take the time to make an intelligent choice.
