GLAN is an unknown quantity at this point
Ya know.....There was a time when you were asked to do a design and could do it on a napkin......tell the property owner it will cost about $x.........and you got the job........or........You got the job installing a new landscape just cause they wanted one and you were their gardener to begin with.

It was a much simpler time back then......mostly one income families.....and you would smell all kinds of baking and cooking going on at the various houses you were working that day.

What it's turned into today..........I don't like.

Today it's all about "Me" and having it done yesterday and who can beat up who more regarding pricing...........forget about who knows more, who does better work, whos' work and reputation stands the test of time......It all comes down to $

And believe it or not....some of the public disregard value for the bargain.

It wasn't like this once upon a time.

The more time passes I feel people are to quick to over look quality in the wrong places
