- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Dont be afraid of stepping back from something that seems too tangled to make sense. Its likely that all you need is a clear outside perspective, someone who can look at the garden and say That vine and this whole plot of vegetation are all out of whack. Chuck it! or These jumbled roots should be saved; theyre just a little choked with unnecessary qualifiers. Just because an idea was one way at the beginning, doesnt mean it cant change slightly (or a lot) to become what you need it to be.
