Hardscaping Gardens
Active vendor with a delivered track record: two completed jobs on file at New Hope, both successful. Operates as a registered LLC (exact filing name TBD — likely "Artscape Outdoor Living LLC" given the email handle). Vetting graduates from pre-engagement signals (BBB / reviews / phone area code) to post-engagement signals: did the work, paid invoices, returned as a known quantity. Treat as a preferred partner for future hardscaping + garden scope.
Job details will fill in once the Harvest invoices land — date / line items / amount / before-after photos per row. The two-job count is from memory; if a third surfaces in Harvest it'll be added here.
