THE LANDSCAPE GARDENERS DIRECTORY
|
The UK home and garden industry seems to be growing each year as more and more people want it all for their outdoor space. Right across the board from garden weeding to bespoke garden furniture, there is greater demand than ever. Cheaper goods have seen the largest sector growth, however in the long run quality goods and services are usually worth the extra expense. Most works carried out will prove a reasonable investment with on average 60 to 70% of the money spent being added to the property value. With new self builds a profit can be made on the garden works as this is exempt from VAT. Over to the subject of garden furniture. For 2008 / 2009 we are looking to increase the number of advertisers and links to providers/ suppliers of great value hardwood often teak garden furniture, imported from sustainable forests in south east Asia. Garden buildings and home offices are the other area that will be covered in detail over the coming months. More updates soon. |

About this gardening site: This site aims to help visitors who are looking for companies that can provide the right service for their garden and in some cases their home. As a quick guide for consumers looking at the business directory sections, we recommend the following steps. Contact a couple of different firms. Don't necessarily go for the cheapest quote (and where possible look to get a quote rather than an estimate, it could get messy later!) Consider how efficient the company seems. Are they recommended by others? References... Do they understand what you want and how much you can spend. Are their ideas going to be practical? Some contractors will request a small fee for the garden consultation, which would usually be deducted from the balance of any work carried out. Check when they can start, if it's a 2 month wait don't worry, this is a good sign! Expect to have a longer waiting time between April and September as this is generally the busy time with December / January normally the quietest. It is standard practice to pay a deposit for confirmation of your order and the amount is typically between 20 and 50 percent of the total amount. Make sure you are comfortable with the company you are dealing with and never pay a cash deposit. Try to remember that 99+ percent of landscapers are genuine and will not rip you off, just go by your gut reaction. There are plenty of UK horticultural and landscape gardening trade associations that landscaping companies can sign up to. Some of these can be effective where as others are just looking to take the money and can be very slow to remove rogue traders. These are the basic pointers, now get that garden sorted out!

Quality of content and viewable sections: A few notes about this website and similar sites on the net. This directory is html coded and designed to be as search engine friendly as possible. We hope to offer useful unique content that is appreciated by our visitors. This website is not about the money. It is more about offering genuine companies and contractors the chance to promote their businesses via the web for the lowest possible cost. The internet is a wonderful thing, giving individuals the opportunity to be seen and heard throughout the world. With the net growing so fast, search engines have been more busy than ever trying to keep the results accurate. The main players seem to have got it about right with greater relevance than ever before. Unfortunately there are still plenty of sites not playing fair, comfortable with deceiving SE's just to bring extra traffic. To reasure visitors, this directory never uses dodgy redirects, popups or false hidden keywords. The publishers and researchers for this web site have noticed that an increasing percentage of garden websites are prepared to use hidden keywords or layers. Regardless of how tempting this may be for short term success, we do not recommend this pracitice because sooner or later sites that follow this trend will be penalised. Keep your content clean and honest for better longterm placement. After all, it's of paramount importance to consider the future!

Advertisements: Regional links to advertising garden business and groups within the landscape gardening directory for uk companies : Garden design london > Essex landscapers > Landscape gardeners Kent > Sussex garden builders Garden profession terms knowledge base: Landscaper : A person that alters the appearance of a landscape by means of moving soil or rock from one position to another. This can include completely removing matter from the area or bringing new material to the site. A landscaper usually works in an area not exceeding 5000 square metres. Anything greater than this size would usually include the need for heavy plant and be termed as groundwork, with some projects requiring groundworks and landscaping. Landscapers often work to a plan or spec produced by a third party. Gardener : Someone who works in the garden and is in touch with plants, vegetables, fruit, the lawn and all things organic. Garden designer : This job requires artistic qualities and true vision. A garden designer will consider the surrounding landscape, then think, plan and look to produce a clear design for the proposed new garden. Landscape gardener = The contractor here needs to be jack of all trades (but hopefully NOT master of none!) An individual who has the qualities of the garden designer, landscaper and for realising the full potential, that important one, the gardener.
If you have got to this part of the page, you're doing well. What next? >>>>>>>>> A recent key term being used to describe the services of some garden design and construction companies : "Concept" - meaning the initial idea or design, the dream to be born or realised. Getting quite technical this landscape game!
Domain trivia: Site information about this domain and the title used: When this website was created the registered domain name and title chosen for the index page was the landscape gardeners directory. In some ways to claim a site as "The" something seems a little extreme, as if you have this trademark or copyright on it. Although the title for it suits the site perfectly, it was never named to suggest that there couldn't possibly be another or a different landscape gardener directory, but of course there can, is and will be. Rightly so. We just believe that this UK garden based site is worthy of the title, description and content published.
