If you have the work done by a landscaper, they should give you a guarantee. If you are doing it yourself and buying your own things make sure you purchase plants and shrubs that will grow here. Don't fertilize until early Spring, make sure you give adequate water and double check on a guarantee so you will be covered in the event your things croak!
Good luck!

I think they were just looking for color in flowering plants. Don't think they were talking about bushes etc. There's plenty of time for landscaping in the months ahead, as you know, with all the landscaping you have done. But, pansies, petunias, and snap dragons grow well this time of year for color.
