Before you hire one, check with Seniors vs Crime to see if complaints have been filed and how many. There are some very disreputable landscapers out there. And never pay up front! SVC phone number is 352-750-1914. They’re in the office Tuesday and Wednesday 10-2 in Brownwood.

Thank you.
I would drive, or better walk around. See a style that you like. Also, see how well it has held up to our cold weather.
This year will separate the men from the boys. It has gone back and forth between colder than normal and warmer than normal. That is a plant killer. They start to grow due to the warmth and then that new tender growth gets hit with a blast of cold.

Many of the landscapers will put in plants that are not suited to our climate. You can and some of your neighbors do,put fabric etc over marginally hearty plants. Do you want to do that? Do you want to do that every year? Skip a year, go on a trip and it is DEAD.

Sabrina McGowen just finished a landscape job for me.
She was the lowest estimate, even though she had a better design and more plants.

When the job was done, she reduced the price because she used less bricks than she estimate.

Very good design and work. Very honest.

Stay away from Mansfield. Poor quality and very rude when asked to look at a problem.

Escapes Landscaping

Very knowledgeable and the owner is on the job every day. He gave us an estimate immediately and followed up with a beautiful computer design. We learned more about landscaping during his estimate than the class we went to!
He showed up to do our job the day he said he would and the workers were great. Respectful and cleaned up every day. We lost a couple small plants during the freeze and he replaced them without us even calling, can't say enough good about Escapes.

His number is 352 303 8610
