About you and your business ( please complete)
Core Landscapes carries out landscape management and maintenance work, covering Ayrshire and Strathclyde regions. We primarily focus our efforts on year-round grounds maintenance work for domestic, commercial and industrial clients but also regularly carry out landscape projects. In order for us to carry out these projects to the highest standards and to the clients time-scale we also hold a close network of sub-contractors who carry out specialist areas of our jobs. Core Landcapes also carry out rural woodland and estate services to landowners so as to look after the needs of their wider landscape and the surrounding rural environs. We are fully insured and are SEPA licensed waste carriers so can remove all green waste from our sites to licensed waste recycling plants. Where necessary we can use pesticides to control the invasion of specific weeds on customers land - where possible, though, we will use more environmentally friendly methods.

I'm always happy to pass on the message.
I'm one of 40,000 people in the UK doing this and earning a slow & steady part-time income. Anybody with any background can do it - it's all about word-of-mouth - www.JustaSimpleStep.com
See also - www.KeepYourPennies.com - Terry Wogan shows new customers how it works.
I'd be happy to discuss further if you need. Happy watching & dreaming!

Many thanks in anticiption.

we are basically a cooperative, we have a plantsman, a stonewaller, a pond man, an environmental engineer, a retired professor of landscape and heritage issues who does consultation, 3 general landscapers and myself, a silviculturalist - I actually worked in Scotland, Argyll for many years, before moving to Cornwall and onto France where I manage the company, remotely with Shane Kneebone who is based in Cornwall.
We have found that keeping it as a cooperative so that everyone still has their own company is favourable to the client, ie cheaper. Combined with the ';sustainable' approach it has resulted in a very safe business model which is starting to be copied. We are not competition for other bigger branded firms, although we dominate the google seo for Cornwall, because we do not touch commercial contracts, save 'consultation', which is mainly direct to Government and Europe based companies.
The biggest problem has been in charging efficiently it is all too easy to waive payments etc.,. to chase a contract which appeals - I would be happy to help in anyway with any questions you may have. But certainly in the short time we have been on this site we have found it very useful indeed.
Hope this helps. I presume you can see Kintyre on a good day, I used to live there and miss it, beautiful part of the world.

Thank you for the feedback.
This is the third time (that I know of) that this has happened in the last month.
I will look into this later today and contact Ning.
Could you just confirm for that you didn't click the little grey square with a white cross to close the post?

Does this only work if you are a registered landscape architect or is it feasible with the right savvy?? I have some great contacts and know people who know people and have been offered the chance to do a fantastic project which would be showcased on a fairly grand scale to prospective clients but have been out of this loop for a while and so am just, at this stage, looking for views...
If I am being vague question me as you please!
How are things?
Have you found the network of any use so far?
We are starting to get busier so hopefully we can all benefit further.
Kind regards
Phil
