I called lots of landscapers to get some landscaping quotes and most came out to see me.

I was surprised how many housewives and young girls there are now running around doing landscaping and construction.

It's obvious that most of them are really out of their depth with limited experience or knowledge. They are at the complete mercy of the tradesman they use. Quality control and their ability to deal with and handle the tradesman was a serious concern to us. (I'm female, so I'm not being sexist)

Then a neighbour recommended Tim Davies Landscaping.

Finally I was dealing with a company (men) that knew building and construction, had lots of experience and had their own tradesman. They came out to see me and quoted a fair price. Workmanship was excellent and quickly done. Felt comfortable that they knew what they were doing. Would definitely use them again.

Approximate cost: $50000
