Thoroughly agree with all five. I started using a 3.4m tripod ladder in 2020, cost me £530 but was able to do an £800 hedge that I’d backed away from quoting for before. Proper game changer. Add in all my battery gear (still kept the petrol stuff 😉), not looked back. Great video as always.

Wolf Garten, pole-saw/loppers/hoe. The aforementioned saw/loppers go through large diameter branches with ease... And the hoe is good.. 3m & 4m pole. Felco secatuers have the wire cutting notch, which is very handy... Tobisho SR1 is good as well. Mattock and a drainage spade "muller" tree-roots and hard soil. Kombi system. Tripod ladder. Also, antivibration gloves are a must for me now.... Unfortunately, mine are now £50 a pair!

The only thing I need to do now is get my customers in. I’m advertising on social media, but haven’t heard anything yet, so I was wondering if you could give any advice on how to do that. Is it just that time of year, or do I need to be doing more? Many thanks Gavin
@LewisgardenservicesLtd6 ай бұрын
Most importantly congratulations on taking the leap and starting out, good luck💪🤞 Jan/ Feb always seem to be dead months especially when the weather is bad unless you have ongoing contracts or a large customer base where you know there are jobs to do. I've never had much luck with Facebook although a lot say they do. Keep active tho on the social media sites. I've also found random flier drops a waste of time but for immediate work target properties that look like they need a tidy up for spring, if confident in doing so try knocking an politely introducing yourself and ask if you could leave them a flier rather than just posting through do. Ultimately it'll be hard work and good work that'll get wors of mouth around about you. Try introducing yourself to established landscapers/ gardeners as they usually have work to pass on they don't want or have no time for. Again good luck 👍 cheers
