Just a further update on some other work that's been filling the diary recently.
We've been lucky enough to have the pleasure of working in so many beautiful gardens and estates these last few weeks. Lots of opportunities to look back and see the impact of our work.
As to be expected, since the rain, a large part of our daily work is keeping on top of the growth. Lots of strimming, mowing, light hedge trims, weeding and spraying, all done properly. We don't strim borders, we don't cut grass too short meaning it turns brown at the sniff of hot weather. We sweep and tidy after every job and will postpone visits if the dry weather means cutting the grass will have no benefit. Basically, we do what's best for the garden, not our back pockets.
A fair bit of fencing work has been coming in too, which I generally fit in at weekends and there is a small amount of availability for that going forward. The Mon-Fri's are pretty full with gardening work but availability crops up here and there now the effects of having a second man are being felt. We remain at 100% client retention for regular garden visits, now into our third year which is something I'm very proud of.
Add to all that, a new van earlier this month, it really has been a positive start to the season. The old Berlingo that served me so well and cost me a mere £500 when I first started is in semi-retirement, coming out on light duties as and when required....but with 250k miles on it, I hope she doesn't mind me saying, it was beginning to look a bit tired.
Most importantly of all, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the custom from every single client we have visited this last few weeks. The loyalty, support and recognition for the pride we take in every element of our work is hugely valuable to me. It's what gives me the job satisfaction to keep going. So thank you!
A social media post wouldn't be any good without a bit of proof we are doing what I say we are doing....so here's some photos of a couple of recent jobs. Feel free to head over to our page to see more. 👍
Have a great remainder of your weekend all.
