Hi, thanks for the nice words. We have lived in our house for 25 years. Our pool was installed 24 years ago by Anthony Sylvan pools. Our pond and hardscapes (walls, etc) were done 20 years ago by a company that is no longer in business. All of the container pots and annuals are planted by my husband and myself . We get the flowers wholesale and put them in the driveway and start planting! It usually takes a couple of weeks to get it all in, but looks great all summer. We are kind of nutty and spend all of our free time outside and we love it, but it is definately a lot of work. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I have seen some of Merrifield Gardens work - they do a great job but I have not idea how they are on pricing. Thank you.
