Went to a quote this week to see a front and back garden. After seeing the back garden I walked back through the house to find a gardener starting to trim the hedge! I couldn't believe it! The customer told me to still quote for the garden!! I then later sent a polite email informing the customer that on this occasion we will not be providing a quote due to the fact that she already has someone to do the work.

We got asked to look at garden once, to make suggestions about what to do with a knackered rockery, at the same time 'the gardener' was cutting the hedge.

I know how you will all chuckle when I say, sometimes people think we run a helpline, have been asked where to take a mower to be serviced.

It's in our name you see, 'Ask-King 4 Gardening'

we are on the verge of changing our name to Damson House Designs.
