"Job is not complete, so, plz hold my comment at this time. Very nice owner. Poor Communication. I want the custom job to my taste. But too often they Went ahead without hiring giving choices where there were other similarly priced cost options. For example: knowing preferred color scheme to complement the house, did not offer a choice of mulch color - went ahead with the one I disdain without asking on more than one occasion -did not seek clarity before doing the job Too many mistake **RE does** at my expense The cost of trees and planting are far above the local competition"
