Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
Dan - I have to come clean - the first one I saw was the one with the conrete walls, amphitheater-looking planting... So I posted. Then I looked at the rest.... Still as impressed? Not so much. The random layout of patterned flagging was odd, and the diamond plate aluminum as a pathway seemed...uh...I dunno.

So yeah, I think I should amend my previous post. The corporate stuff was very nice, though. I won't ride the fence on that.

The one I want to do is the White House (civic landscapes). That would be a long commute though.

When you mention "School" is it private or public? If it is public, it falls under the Davis Bacon Act, or prevailing wage act. This means, unless you are a shop that pays prevailing wage, you must, keep a separate set of books for this job, and, each of your employees must be paid in accordance with the Davis Bacon Act. The municipality should post a set of wage/benefits that you are required to pay, and you can check with the state department of labor for a list as well.

The catch is if you don't pay these wages, and somone drops a dime on you, you will get nailed with all kinds of fines, and be foreced to pay back pay for any wage under what is required.

If it is a private school, you should disregard this, unless it is a private school that had any one time recieved any federal money.
