Landscape choices are all different
When it comes to making choices for your special landscape project for your home there are many different choices to be had. Not everyone likes or wants the same Palm trees, and everyone's budget is different, and there are many different looks to be had. We do everything from basic landscape projects to something you would see at Disney.
When someone makes a post here on TOTV about there landscaping project that we just finished, they are proud of their project and want to share it with others. I have noticed some of the remarks people have posted back telling our customers they have made a bad choice with their Palm tree choices or plant material. I think that is negative and somewhat rude, let me explain why. When I started in this business around 30 years ago, I was a grower here in central Florida and supplied plant material to 12 counties and to many of the major theme Parks here in Florida. We supplied places like Publix and Albertsons; many, many landscaping companies and floral shops; and many garden centers throughout the State. Our plant material was also used at the University of Florida in Gainesville for there horticultural classes back in the early 90's.You can see our work here in The Villages if you go to our web site at Ronslandscapinginc.com.
When I talk to a potential customer in regards to their landscaping project, It is my job to guide them with their plant and tree choices along with a design they may want. I will tell them everything they need to know in regards to how the plant grows, and how it will do in this climate here in The Villages. The final decision is up to them in regards to what they pick out for plants and trees. All I can do is guide them, it is their home and their money, and they are the ones that make the final decision. Some customers are willing to roll the dice when it comes to the plants and trees they choose even though I have told them what could happen if we have a hard freeze again. That is the look they want so they go with it.
I have written articles here on TOTV for people in order to help guide them, so when or if they decide to landscape their home, it may help them with their decisions know matter who they choose to use for there landscaping company. So, when someone makes negative remarks about a person's post and tells them that they made the wrong choices with their trees and plants, I think it's wrong. After all, it is their home and their money and that's the look they want.
