"Doesn't anyone point out to their clients that gardens continue growing, needing maintenance, and it's not like having a new kitchen or bathroom?"
Part of a message that new member Andrew Faraday has just left on the thread titled "New landscaping design companies" - started by Richard Boyd - Juice Garden Network and is Andrew absolutely spot on.
Many a garden or planting scheme have we provided and presented to our clients that is a 'polaroid' image at handover.
a month down the line and the garden will have taken on a personality of it's own and if it has not had your attention, it will quickly become a monster that is out of control.
Those sleek well manicured lawn edges give way to a stubbly and unshaven look, weeds infiltrate what was previously a perfect soil tilth and growth on shrubs or plants will probably make the plant unrecognisable from that which was introduced in the first instance.
Often is the case of eyes being bigger than the belly and customers who want big, regret their decisions.
