About you and your business ( please complete)

I am an extremely hard working person. I'm not looking for untold wealth, just to know that after a hard days work the bills are being paid, the odd luxury can be afforded, a little goes into the bank and a vacation once a year can be looked forward to. Happy go lucky but can get serious if and when needed. Polite and approachable and live by old fashion values.

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.
As to this so called…"

Graham Taylor replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"Disagree there! I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice. Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves. Pretty much…"

"That's pretty much my thinking, but I am seeing them more and more. Mostly at expensive new builds. Mostly people with very limited gardening experience wanting an immediate finished product. "

Tim Bucknall replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"Yes 5' actual instant shaped hedging is very expensive, but if that's what he wants he'll have to pay for it. A good compromise is use individual plants- you could use 1.5m, but 1.8 or 2m plants would probably be bushier, and by trimming to height…"

"Agree, nothing worse than driving past a new Cherry Laurel hedge planted too close to boundaries or buildings, and thinking they'll regret that decision in a few years time!

Hi David

I do hope you are busy and business is going well?

I note from your profile that you haven't been active for a while. I just wanted to remind you that LJN and me are still here and I hope we can still be of use to you?

With now just shy of 3,500 members we have over 9,000 topics on the forum, not to mention thousands of photos, blog posts and lots of videos too.

I thought you might be interested in our latest newsletter (to save having to search the forum for the latest hot discussions).

See here:

Garden build step-by-step; Winter clothing; Brush cutter safety

If there's anything you need to know of there's anything I can do to help in any way then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Landscape Juice is still here and hoping we'll see you back:)

Kind regards

David, if you would mind having a quick look at my website I would very much appreciate it and any advice you may have to improve it's visibility in cyber space.

I created it myself a few months ago and it's had barely 40 visitors a month. I wondered if it's simply a case of advertising, or if some amendments to the site itself would be useful?

Kindest regards

Hi David, could you let me know what experience you have - feel free to drop me a line. I'm pretty booked up at the moment and passing work on. Its good to develop a network of local gardeners, landscapers tree surgeons etc who you know, particularly focusing on different sectors of the industry. (Another Bristol gardener).
