I think that is unfair.

In my experience there are plenty of quality landscapers out there. The
people who have problems are those who go to the cheap cowboys and then
complain an about he quality.

It's a bit like shopping at Lidl, then complaining that the food is not as
good as Waitrose..

Pay the right price and the quality service IS there.
