In response to FF19.....A landscaper has to pay for insurance, trucks, salaries, and supplies. Of course they charge more. They are also putting money back into the community by paying salaries, insurance, benefits and taxes. Many landscapers have degrees in landscape design.

We had a few brief light showers in the morning hours, after that it clouded up later and of course the wind was definitely strong yesterday, but nothing as severe as these predictions say. I believe they always err on the side of caution, no one really complains much if the weather turns out to be BETTER than the prediction, but they get all upset if it's WORSE than what was expected.   more ›
