Landscape
I was trying to avoid mentioning all the mistakes he made since it
makes me look rather stupid since I overpaid. Well here it goes, Apart from the weed problem, he planted 5 trees which he did not stake to the ground so now they are swaying all over the place and am afraid will break if we have forceful winds. He planted Kleim's gardenia in the front (facing East) which gets full sun for atleast 6 hours and two of the plants are already yellowing. I used Ironite since I read some thing about Gardenia's needing a lot of iron. Well in any case that seems to be working so far but am not sure if it will hold up. I expected a lot more for $4000. Regarding mulch, he used the cheapest pine straw mulch you can ever get. There was more pine cones, leaves, twigs than pine needles. My yard looks like a big dump with green buses sticking out of them. I will call Garden Creations. Thanks for your suggestions Penny. RP "Penny Morgan" wrote in message . com... Did he do a bad job in design or are you upset about the weeds? If it's design related, you can contact Garden Creations (Kendra Douros) at 819-8814. She is a landscape designer who does consultation, drawings, installation, etc. As far as the weeds are concerned, I have to say that spraying weeds to kill them doesn't necessarily guarantee that you won't get lots more. We have the perfect conditions for weeds to come in groves right now .......warm weather and lots of wet weather. My yard is sprouting everywhere right now even after spraying and pulling all in March. You will have to spray again. Did he mulch the areas very well? Spring is the time for new growth on everything .....trees, flowers, and lots of weeds. Penny "blorefan" wrote in message om... Hi!! Can anybody suggest a good landscape designer in the trianlge area. I hired one from Apex recently and he ripped me off (paid close to $4000). He was very knowledgeable with the plants native to this area and promised low maintenance landscape so I hired him. He did a very poor job. All the beds that he supposedly sprayed with weed killer are sprouting already (the beds were planted on Apr 19,2003). I would appreciate your help. Thanks |
