"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

Phil,

With your T&C part, would it be useful to add retention of title over goods supplied until paid for in full. I know of one Landscaper that was locked out of premises that he was working on and lost over 50k in stock has he did not have such a clause?

Good point Steve

Each business should amend the T&Cs to suit their needs

Iam not sure how it works in England BUT north of the border once items are delivered to site you are breaking the law if you try to remove them during any dispute with the client. been there got the tee shirt and so on

Hi Phil, just come across these, which are really useful - particularly for us, just starting off. Amazing stuff. However, in the risk assessment doc the detail reviews stop after Section 5, Arboricultural Operations... do you have the full doc at all?! It would be a huge help! james@streetscape.org.uk

Thanks so much!
