Julie:

What absolutley amazes me is the value people place on landscaping, along with the mind set that all services are commodities. What I mean is they will drop $100K on a job, only to let an illegal alien who most likely has no insurance, little education, and no real clue as to what needs to be done maintain the job after it is turned over.

That job which cost so much can be made to look as though nothing was done in 6 months or less. On similar notes, city parks that cost a million dollars plus are left in the hands of affirmative action workers, having no training as well.

I'm going to run off and grab a copy of Smart Money for my portfolio of sales tools, and I can only hope the mindset of many homeowners changes. Well, let mke scratch that....As long as they let the landscape run down hill, we can just come in and redo it all for a nominal fee of course.!
