I love the dirt, I like the way it smells and the way it feels in my my hands I am a plant guy. I have spent the last 10 years learning Texas plants and have gotten to know and love them. I dont believe there is another place in the country other than the desert of course that is as harsh during long stretches of time. I have been telling clients for years that I spend 9 months a year preparing for 3 months, July, August, September. I Love using Native plants in the landscape, I can hardly think of a more varied , hardy selection of plants available. I have given my sweat, blood and many, many hard hours to my company for 8 years now. I miss working in the dirt and have begun working here at the house for a few hours in the morning. Then there are people like the guy that contacted me to Bid his ladscape right before labor and wants done within a week. The realestate guys are the worst, the last guy actually told me, the client wants a colorful front yard and some shrubs in the back and he wants it for next to nothing. I have encountered that time after time.
Always with love,
Tony
