I think she wants to start with someone for 3 hours, every…See More

October 26, 2011 from 10am to 10:45am
Green roofing is becoming an ever more popular landscape feature, not least because there are a whole host of benefits associated with it. Installing a living roof is a fabulous way to attract and support wildlife such as pollinating insects and birds without taking up space at ground level and as an added bonus, the green roof build up will insulate the building against heat, cold and noise.At the Creating Landscapes Show, Angela Lambert from the growers of Enviromat sedum matting will be…See More

Hiya Georgina. Another fellow Bath gardener!

How is business?

I am pushing towards bigger landscaping contracts in the Bath area. Are you more maintenance orientated? I often get offered regular maintenance contracts which I'm not so keen to take on as I prefer the bigger one off jobs. Are you interested in taking on more contracts?

 

Sam.
