When Building A New Home 
It is advisable to budget 3 to 5 percent for landscaping. Real estate men agree an investment 
of 5 percent of the cost of the house in Evergreens, Trees, Shrubs and Flowers increases the value 
of the property at least 20 percent. 
At the very beginning of operations put aside the amount you purpose spending for land¬ 
scaping. Without good landscaping a house gives the appearance of “something wanting,” or not 
being finished. 
Our plant experts will gladly assist you in landscaping for definite and permanent effect. Our
