Company Background
When homeowners Roger and Peggy Franklin decided to hire a professional landscaper they were
disenchanted with the level of service they received from prospective landscape design and
installation companies. "We were prepared to make a serious investment in our outdoor living space
and we couldn't even get landscaping companies to return our call," remembers Peggy. As experienced
entrepreneurs, Roger and Peggy quickly recognized the need for a landscape design and installation
firm that provided quality landscaping services to discerning homeowners throughout the Puget Sound.
They decided to establish a landscaping organization that exceeded the expectations of the client,
enhanced the client's lifestyle and increased the client's home value. They assembled a team of
highly skilled landscape and business professionals and created the Lifestyle Landscape's organization
based on proven business principles.
