Laz Marrero at Your Garden Angel really knows his stuff about plants, trees, and landscaping in the urban environment. He created a dynamic landscape at my property where the flowers and blooms changed as the seasons change, so that my outdoor area can be enjoyed by my family, neighbors, and passers-by. Also performs maintenance so that the garden looks great all the time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Question and answer
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I have an extensive knowledge of a wide variety of plants, therefore, I have a more varied and colorful pallet of plant material to select from when designing a landscape. While aware of many different styles of landscape design, I am not wedded to one specific one. I like to mix plants that more conventional landscapers would not even consider, or know about.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I love working with a client to help them realize their dream landscape. I love meeting with a client at a local nursery, letting them explore for a while. I then educate them about the plants that have caught their eye, and reflect on which of those plants will do well, or not do well in their specific environment. I think it is important to teach the client, so that they make informed decisions regarding the plants they choose to be part of their garden landscape.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Most often asked question: How much is it all going to cost? First off, I try to give the customer a realistic sense of costs, as many of them have never sought landscape services before. I then I emphasize, that all the work does not have to be done at once, that the job can be broken into phases, that budget permitting, will be realized over time.
