LANDSCAPE FOR THE FUTURE

Much landscape work is only temporary. To be long-lived, it must be done right. It is very important to use slow-growing, long-lived trees and plants, and to put the proper plant in each spot. We suggest that it is foolish to buy on price. Good workmanship and choice material simply can not be had at the lowest cost.

THE BEST WAY TO START

It is quite important to plan a planting to fit the location. Begin by telephoning us at the number below and we will visit your place. Do not expect any high-pressure salesmanship. Our men are trained to help you plan nice yard.

SMALL TREES IN POTS

If you need a few odd plonts, fruit trees, small shada trees, small evergreens or shrubs that you con pick up’ and plant yourself, we have them et the nursery growing in pots. We supply planting instructions with each lot.
