       | Though the real money is in the conclusion:

       | That makes sense. The project they designed would need extensive
       | landscaping maintenance, and can't be done on the cheap.

       | Though I gotta say, they were picked because they'd apparently
       | done a bang-up job on a project in Rotterdamn that doesn't look
       | all that interesting to me. The scaffolding makes it look like
       | it's under construction. Still, somebody liked it, and it's
       | unclear why they went from a similar design to a "mound".
