First Find a Landscaper job for the Network

As some of you may know Landscape Juice has generated its first leads over the last week. We were lucky enough to be in the right area for the first lead and have been commissioned to undertake the design and build.The build started this morning and there will be some before pictures later when the team returns from site.For some reason I feel very nervous about this project - I think it is because Phil has been so generous allowing his brand to be used in this way and the build will have to do it justice! Normally we are only working for our own professional reputation and to have been given the use of the brand without payment being exchanged or anything being "in it" for Phil is a great privilege - and certainly a refreshing change from other lead generating websites!We have also been blessed with a lovely customer who knows exactly what she wants from her new space. The design is simple and understated, it is hoped that the planting will inject the "splash" and Steve from Plants to Go has kindly agreed to assist with the plan for this.In fact the customer has also decided to have her front garden redone at the same time so we have a challenge on our hands getting the two spaces completed before the weekend! Lets hope the weather is on our side!

    Hi Lara

    Thank you for the update and taking the trouble to keep us all abreast - I am certainly looking forward to the photo's.

    I am also delighted that the lead system worked - The system is based on helpareporter.com and I am hoping that we will generate many leads this way.

    You all might be pleased to know that we are already at number one or tow on Google for 'finding a landscaper' or 'find a landscaper' so it is working very well.
  • oooh looking forward to it!

"I don't think this is type 1, it looks finer.  It might be 20mm to dust limestone (like a fine type 1), but it could be something like Breedon self-binding path gravel (google it).  Either would need a free-draining sub-base."

"Have you checked under the seat? I don't know this mower, but I think that is where the manual states the oil filler is."

"Try and price per visit instead of hourly rate. 2-3 hour slots say to custumer £90-£100 per visit.
This will be half your day if you add travel to and from the job. Or have a minimum fee of x amount per visit. If a customer wants an hour or 2 it…"
