After losing about half of the plants that our landscaping company planted this winter, we decided to do it ourselves. We went around to the local nurseries and found plenty of attractive plants good to below zero temperatures.
It took us about five days of shopping and research to select the plants we wanted, and then another few days of laying them out in the various beds. By taking a few days, we did several different arrangements until we were satisfied.
Although last years landscaper is out of business, we still had the name of one of the workers that we were happy with. Gave him a call and worked out a time to work for us.
It worked out great. We supervised the work and made adjustments as necessary deal with sprinkler issues. In all about 50 items got planted, half three gallon size and half one gallon sizes. He worked from 8:00am to a little after 1:00pm. With tip, it came to $75.
We are very happy with the results, and would recommend him to others who need a landscaping worker. Probably not suitable for planting anything larger than about 30 gallon.
If anybody wants a referral, PM me.
