Hello! Boy am I glad to have found this place. Please let me know if I should be posting this in a different forum as well.

I have a large backyard and two large side yards that are currently dirt behind my new home. I need to hire a landscape contractor/pool company to get the job done and was hoping for some referrals. We have had 6 contractor/pool people out to the house and have been less than Impressed by this segment of the workforce. I was hoping for some assistance. We plan for a 20x40' pool with raised 9x9' spa, L shaped BBQ island, with ground lighting, grass, concrete, and plants. We have a reasonable idea of the design layout but need someone to help us get the job done. Maybe a landscape architect to direct? I don't know, but I refuse to be taken for a ride by these contractors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are in orange county.

Matt
