landscaping, need to get it done.

[nisils14]

I moved into a new place a while ago, and I need to get landscaping done here soon. At the very least have plans submitted. Looking to have the front yard done first, and work on the back yard next year. Would need to sit down with someone and talk over HOA requirements and additions I'd like to have. Any recommendations or people in the profession?

Nisils.. if you find a landscaper actually willing to work let me know..

None that I have called seem to want to do a job unless it's 20k+

I'm assuming that means my contact didn't come through?

going through a landscape project myself. Got the plans and bid done last summer. Later in the summer. He's starting this week. His next job opening is mid Sept. Be prepared to wait till late fall to get it completed. Also the price may shock you. They are in high demand right now and are charging accordingly.

Not a word from him.

I'm sorry about that. That's unfortunate to hear.

Pmd with someone who can help

Same experience for me from contractors to do landscaping, concrete work and excavation for my septic. I'm basically having to find and chase these people down and bug the hell out of them in order to give them my money. It's the most bizarre thing.

you're in a new house you said, so clearly the yard isn't much (they never are nowadays)
landscaping isn't complex it's just hard work.

Do a couple nice simple things and make it easy to maintain and let it go.

if you really want more complex just try and get plans (pay for them).

I would then look at craigslist and see what you can find for people wanting to do side jobs. a new house lawn isn't going to be some 6 month project most of it should take a day or two. So maybe hire a guy to do a wall, another guy to do the sprinkler (which is the only tricky thing, don't hire a plumber, plumbers don't know DICK about sprinkler systems, just have the plumber do the backflow tap, but nothing else), another guy to do the lawn.

bilingual is probably a plus

or just hire a guy to help you do it on weekends. Let them do the heavy lifting and you'll get way more done.
