As I mentioned in the title I have a full time employment with a tree company but im trying to diversify and set up on my own. In a perfect world I would like to do some tree work combined with some mowing, strimming and hedge cutting. I have experience with all of these but I would also like to do some fencing and possibly paving, walling and decking things like that. Does anybody know of any fencing courses or general landscaping courses around the warwickshire/Midlands area? Needs to be part time really. I have only found one at Moreton Morrel. Also I would appreciate any advice and stuff :) thanks alot

  • Welcome and good luck.

    Fencing is something that in my opinion you can mainly learn from courses, books, internet etc. Once you observe standards regarding post hole depth etc there is little else which is not simply how neatly you work.

    Paving and groundworks on the other hand has some basic details such as standard depths for sub-bases, laying courses and so on but it is something you really need some hands on experience with. Ground conditions can be a major factor, dealing with drainage, basic techniques all need to be learnt through experience in my opinion.

    Do not take on paving jobs unless you sub in someone qualified or spend at least a few jobs watching and learning. For you keen to learn subbing these jobs to an experienced guy and working along side him will very quickly see you pick up enough knowledge to do it on your own.
