1st Indian sandstone in 4/5 sized project packs
2nd 3 x 2 concrete flags or council flags as some people call them.
3rd Clay pavers
I have based this on square meterage not number of jobs.
If you lay any slabs/flags with out compacted MOT underneath it will settle different in different places so will start to brak up and flags will become loose and unsafe.
Always always put in compacted MOT so that you have a good base with to sta...

Resin Bound Surfacing, Sample job.
After having decided early in the new year to offer resin bound surfacing to potential clients,
( following very helpful discussions and advice from Stuart Marler aka TVG Landscaping) I have been underwhelmed by the call for it. Which I believe is due to lack of knowledge of the product.
So, after a call from a friend who is after their drive resurfaced I suggested resin bound to them as an alternative to the norm. They are after a clean dry… Continue

Leaflets are a good start. It is a fairly instant way of getting recognition and if you are lucky, with the information falling on the right doorstep, your success could be immediate if someone is looking to have something done.
It might be a fairly slow process to set up in another area but (you know what I am going to say next ;-0)) start writing text on your website that explains what you are providing and focus on geographical areas where you are wanting to pick up work.
Spend some time (no other cost involved) taking pictures, interviewing and writing about features, trees (especially if they have a local significance), local landscapes of historical value or a famous person who may have lived in the vicinity.
Build up a profile and blend it in with your business offering and make sure that any cards or leaflets you distribute have your website address on them.
Hope that helps
Phil
