I, as most Villagers, asked the same question. I drove the neighborhoods to look at the hard scape designs and types of plantings of the various companies. I then invited 3 of the companies I liked the best to offer a design. Once I was happy with the design, which was a combination from the 3 companies, I then had each of the firms to offer a quote on the exact/same design. This way you compare pricing on the same project elements. There was up to 30% price difference on a $7,000 project. I went with Village Palms and have been pleased with their work 1-1/years later. Wendy's creative design was the foundation for the project and was the reason her company got the job! The team of installers were professional and efficient. Wendy was on the site each day and made a few changes to the hard scape and placement of the plants. What looked good on paper did not exactly fit nor looked good in person. Who ever you choose, make sure the design has been approved by the Architectural Review Committee so there are no problems later on and the company has the necessary insurances. Hope this helps!
