Fellow Columbians-

I have a challenging patch of dirt in front of my house fraught with angry tree roots, low light, etc. I am looking for recommendations for a competent landscaper and/or arborist to guide me in efforts to have a front lawn of sorts. I am from Iowa, land of lush, green grass. The scorched earth in front really breaks my beaker.

Regards, roots and all,

Chas.

I'd hook you up with my old pal Oscar, a landscaping lifer who does beautiful work... in fact, I'll see if I can get him to post here so you two can possibly connect.
