Default Need expert advice on trees and shrubs

We have a comprehensive contract with Stellar that covers mowing, pest control, trimming, weeding, etc. We need advice regarding some of the trees and shrubs that are not doing well. It appears that Stellar does not have the expertise we need. A while back, a sabal palm died and we asked them about replacing it. They told us it will cost $1850; we paid $250 for the tree at the time the landscaping was done, less than a year before that, by another firm. The Stellar people didn't mention that if the tree that died was diseased, we shouldn't be planting the same kind of tree in its place.

Can someone recommend an expert we might consult regarding our plants?
