[Highland Park] Rug Cleaners
by Tricia Kolarik 23 May '08

Can anyone recommend a good company to clean oriental rugs? They are not top end rugs but I'd rather send them out than have one of the carpet cleaner people clean them in home. Thanks, Trish Kolarik

[Highland Park] landscape design
by Alexandra West 23 May '08

23 May '08

I'd be very interested to hear about any experiences folks may have had working with local landscape designers or landscape architects. We are looking for someone to help us with a residential landscape design for our Highland Park home. We would be particularly interested in working with someone knowledgeable about naturalistic design and the use of native plants in an urban setting. Knowledge about landscapes from the Queen Anne period would also be of interest. I realize that these two themes may point in somewhat different directions; the trick will be to find a way to harmonize them. Any input you may have would be much appreciated. Thanks.
