Welcome to LandscapingScene.com!

I am proud to announce the launch of the new LandscapingScene.com.

We believe the tools we have created for LandscapingScene.com will save our members money and time. I could go into more details here, but we put together more information on this for both Landscape Contractors and Landscape Suppliers/Nurseries.

I'm extremely proud to present the new LandscapingScene.com. We set about re-designing the site from the ground up in early March 2009 and it's been a heck of a journey ever since. We've had ups, downs, and lots of late nights.

One constant has remained throughout the whole process though, and that's how much fun we've been having. In fact, it really hasn't felt like 14 months of work (in spite of the occasional programming glitches). I'd like to think it has been more synonymous with being on the open road with the freedoms we've been afforded through this process. Just like a real landscaping project, the result is fun to look at and something we can sit back and enjoy, if only for a minute.
