Suggestions for my website?

Hey Tony, thanks for the reply, a couple questions to make sure I follow correctly and can implement with the best results...

In the header. If I list the service area will it be seen differently because its in the header than in the footer (regarding google seeing stuffing), or are you suggesting a service area listing somehow different than just cities?

On the landscaping page, you're recommending I use some of the info that I've used in the image alt tags as actual descriptive text on the page to help with content and user experience? Is there any disadvantage to keeping them alt desc. as they are or should they be shortened? My basic thought was to describe the picture so if it doesn't load people can actually picture in their minds what was there, is that overboard for the alt text?

For the Gallery page, we were slightly concerned with page size and load time if we used the same format as the landscaping page, do you think it would be ok? I do prefer the way the landscape page is setup being able to see both images at the same time. Is there a different format you would recommend for a gallery or just make it match the landscape page and do our best to keep the image size down?

For the general background do you think I should just shift the gradient down so the solid green is only at the very bottom, or look to get away from it all together? I tried the gradient in response to the earlier post about its readability and can see the difference but wanted to keep it something other than white.

My other question for the moment is have you seen sites that you would consider well done, or do you have sites that I could look at to get idea of how some of these things should be implemented or look in use?

Thanks for your time and input I really appreciate you and others here that voluntarily help us out with your broad skills relating to the business.

Any more recommendations, suggestions, or critics? Made a few more changes, added a specials page, still trying to figure out a background that is readable and pleasant in appearance other than the gradient I have now. If any one has suggestions I'm open.
Thanks
