No Hex with REX

Never in a million years would I have ever guessed that digging up a tree and preparing it for removal would be a work of art. The crew from ProGrass Landscape Care and Design *cq completely knocked my socks off. Working in extreme muddy conditions, and only a crew of three, a back hoe, and two shovels, they managed to sculpt the most perfectly shaped ball around the base of every tree and shrub that needed to be relocated. I thought it couldn’t get any better but after watching how they wrapped each plant in burlap and twine with such precise and expertise, I was at a loss of words. And if you have ever met me, that just doesn’t happen.



The whole day was full of wonderful surprises. The REX Project Landscape Designers, Christine Ellis*cq and Carolyn Gregg*cq of Gregg and Ellis Landscape Designs*cq also were there. With tools in hand and both wearing matching red rubber boots they chopped and cut the last remaining laurel branches. Without their help I would have been buried in “The Beast”. We ended up with a pile six feet high of wood trimmings. Call me crazy but when I look at that stack of limbs all I can see is furniture, fencing, and railings. More art to be made.



If that doesn’t take the cake, get this, I asked Steve Varga*cq from Prograss*cq, who is working along side with Ellis*cq and Gregg*cq if I choose to buy trees like these (there are six total) how much would they cost? He estimated each would run approximately $2,500.00 to $3,000.00 each. I immediately called my husband Glenn and told him I just saved a minimum of $12,500.00 and if he needed to reach me later that evening, I would be at Nordstroms *cq.
