this is obviously a very big stretch but, I'll say it and see if it true at all.
From my observations, it seems like landscaping in other countries europe, is not considered a business, but more of a art, and taken more seriously.
I'm not saying they don't have their share of problematic employees, but, it seems much more family oriented, meaning, people do it because they like it, not just to make money.
It just seems like the attention to detail is much higher. I mean, whenever I see really nice stone work, it is always a copy of something done over there. When I do internet searches, and find sites for landscape companies in England and other coutries, there just seems to be such a old world craftmanship to the work that is done.
I don't know, I could be wacked out of my mind, but it just appears that way. It just seems we've done nothing but commercialize the living daylight out of the industry. For instance, if someone wants a stone wall in england, they get a stone wall. Here, we sell them a segmental retaining wall because quite frankly, its easier and less true craftmanship is needed. Do you think we are just lacking the true skills in this country?
