Landscapes, Lawns, & Lies: How to Avoid Shady Practices That Cost You Time, Money and More

Over the past several months I have had more and more clients asking for information specifically on how to hire landscape contractors, pool builders and maintenance companies, and "what to look for" during the contracting process. To that end, I've vowed to post more on the topic going forward!

This past February I picked up a copy of John and Sondra Wright's super-insightful book, "Landscapes, Lawns, & Lies: How to Avoid Shady Practices That Cost You Time, Money and More". Jam-packed with wonderful information for those wanting to really 'dig-in', understand the ins-and-outs of hiring a landscape professional, and set yourselves up for success ... this should be on your bookshelf! It was an enjoyable overnight read for me. If you find yourself asking questions about what "right" looks like for your project, "Landscapes, Lawns, & Lies" is a great place to start! Whether you are in the initial stages of 'thinking' about your project, already in the design or construction phase, or if you're searching for the right maintenance company to take care of your new beautiful space ... you're sure to find answers in this highly-informative yet entertaining read!  - Brian Miller
