I ask this question to any Landscaping company. How much to plant one fifteen foot tall Sylvester Palm in a front yard?

I think that I will be told that landscaping is more than the planting of one palm. Landscaping is an art of replacing certain useless plants put there by the developer and that grow too fast and replacing them with other plants that they will sell me and that color and balance is key and also rate of growth and overall maintenance of the plant and it's suitability to this zone etc.etc.etc. and that putting down a weed barrier is important and also curbing to keep out the long invasive trailers from the Zoysia grass. I think that I will get a sell job.

I hate sell jobs. I just want to see pictures or graphs with placement of plants and trees and the cost, like we got back in Ohio.
