He's not a certified landscape architect and he didn't meet with the client. The client actually measured his yard to scale and provided me a copy of it which I forwarded, along with the client's wish list, to the designer. A week-or-so later he called with his completed design. Came over with it, plus a "plant care" package (photos, descriptions, and maintenance requirements of each plant choice) and a bill for $642.00 for 8 hrs design work.
Client e-mailed today that they've decided to go with a competitor. I went over there tonight and took back the design I'd left with them. Bottom-line: a hard lesson learned.
And no...I will never do that again.
