LANDSCAPE SERVICE 
Again 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-eight years of landscape practice in the Great Plains Region, we have 
designed and drawn plans for hundreds of urban and rural home grounds, 
estates, special-purpose gardens, municipal parks, institutions, public build- 
ing grounds, cemeteries, golf courses, residential and industrial subdivis- 
ions, etc. 
With our modern and correct methods of landscaping, our landscape 
architects must deal with many factors. In our region, a thorough knowl- 
edge of planting materials is of supreme importance. We must know the 
range of use and which plants are hardy,and which are not hardy in each 
particular area. All of the characteristics of trees, shrubs and other planting 
stock must be considered, such as form and habit of growth, color arrange- 
ment and texture, exposure to sun and shade, etc.
