2009-06-15Diana10101010YesThis man responded very quickly, gave me all the information he could on a very difficult problem. I'd say he is one of your "expert" experts for sure!

2009-06-11Aretha10101010YesMarc you rock! Thanks for your quick and detailed response.
2009-06-08Mary Jo10101010YesThank you! Good Idea on the paver patio. Nice to know I'm not the only one that knows the problem. I put in a shade grass that I'm not happy with because it shows every step you take. but at least it doesn't look bad or seem like a dirt storm when we mow. So much work from a Pecan Tree. They are messy all the time! But love the nuts if I can beat the squirrels to them!
2009-06-08John10101010YesAwesome! Thank you, Marc, very much. I appreciate your positive tone, and the detailed factual information, with suggestions for further research and plant selection.

Expertise

As a licensed Landscape Architect, I can answer general questions about style and design, ideas and suggestions for site amenities, larger site-planning issues, or recreation and park design. IF YOU JUST WANT A PLANT SUGGESTION GO HERE: http://www.growit.com/PlantInfo/LandScape.htm I prefer you ask somebody else why your petunias are not as perky as they should be...I'd LOVE to tell you how can use those petunias to increase your home's value!

Experience

Member, American Society of Landscape Architects (ALSA.org); Past clients have been mostly contractors, developers and local civil engineering/architecture firms, plus the occasional homeowner. Currently, I design recreational facilities for the National Park Service (DOI). I am located in the dry Great Basin area (Greater Nevada/Utah), so the use of landscape materials OTHER than plants is emphasized. As a licensed Landscape Architect on the East and West Coasts, I have been in practice over 20 years.
