Does anyone have a reputable landscape co for rehab in Houston?

I'm looking for a landscaper for quick project in North Houston...

Now more than ever it's critical to work with top teams and agents in this competitive landscape.

For the record, there is some really old party wall agreement at our place (which I suppose is still legally binding), but there is nothing in there that tells you how to address common-area maintenance/repair such as roof, landscaping, etc.

Given the current economic landscape, investor confidence in Atlanta remained strong, topped by only two metros on this list, New York and Dallas.5.

We are finding that this is not working for us, as there is a lot of impact on the land that wasn't accounted for originally, like landscaping, road impact, trash removal, and generally just keeping up with things at a guest level. 

They did nothing to the landscaping, no Open House showings, just a sign and they ask $225K.
