We are in a position to offer complete landscape planning service to our customers. Included in our personnel are four 
graduate Landscape Architects, qualified by special training and widespread experience to meet any of your problems in 
landscape planning or artistic designing. In over twenty years of landscape practice in the Western Plains Region, we 
have designed and drawn plans for hundreds of urban and rural home grounds, estates, special-purpose gardens, municipal 
parks, institutions, public building grounds, cemeteries, golf courses, residential and industrial subdivisions, etc. Write or 
call us for particulars. 

This fleet of trucks and cars (pictured below) enables us to handle a large volume of landscape jobs over the State of Kan-

jobs and definitely placed orders. Let us help you PLAN your landscaping and advise the correct plants for your needs. 
The RIGHT PLANT in the RIGHT PLACE is all essential.
