I totally agree that finding the right landscape contractor is super important for a successful project. It's not just about getting someone who can dig a hole and plant a tree, you want someone who can really bring your vision to life. Sorry for bumping the old thread, just wanted to share my 2 cents. Btw, have you checked out jscustomlandscaping.com? They seem like a great resource for finding a landscaper. Just make sure to ask for their experience and check their communication skills before making a decision.
