Landscaper meeting today

Today I was quite pleased that I was able to have a meeting with the landscaper we'd like to use and the general contractor we've been using in the most recent phase of the project. We actually found this landscaper back in January when we were interviewing landscapers. He was definitely our favorite, but we never did get a quote from him so we'll have to see how the quote comes in. The others we interviewed were just not people I'd consider working with for a variety of reasons and this guy was actually pretty cool and pretty smart. He seemed to get us, our budget, lifestyle and taste right away. We actually found the general contractor we've been working with through him - they work together a lot. So, we had a good meeting and we hope it works out because we need the yard done ASAP for the dog. I am starting full-time graduate school in September and we want to be able to let him stay out all day.

I am working on a post right now describing what the landscaper will do. I don't think I've fully fleshed out why we need professional help on this one. They are doing a lot more than planting pretty flowers; in fact they won't even be planting any decorative plants this time around. He'll be doing things like grading, drainage, sprinklers, fencing, deck, and gates
