Sore subject with me...when I had my own gardening
business many years ago,people would pay for
a good design and installation,but then expect to pay
damn little to a maintenance gardener, then complain about the
results and say the gardeners were lazy,etc...You get what you pay for.

Re Moira's cri de coeur and Joe's comment:
Seems to be a prevailing dottiness in many places, that businesses and
institutions will fork out the initial outlay for a scheme but are very
reluctant to budget for the proper maintenance of same.
I emphasise that adjective 'proper': in these parts, at least, maintenance,
when done at all, is often done by guys with alternative careers as
mass-murderers, whose motto seems to be, 'If it moves - if it grows -, whack
it.'
It's depressing to tot up the amount of money wasted as a result, not to
speak of the amount of plants killed or damaged or distorted or diseased.
