Anyway, pm me if you are interested.
That was a big thing with us when we re-did landscaping in an existing home. Almost always we were pulling out dead cedars that were put in a couple years earlier.

You really need someone with an extensive horticultural experience to do something like this properly (unless you are like me and would rather do away with the plants entirely). So whoever you choose, make sure they have that experience.
