I myself have been a landscaper for over 10 years and in my time I noticed the same problems time and time again. See if you recognise them.
The area I was covering was not so much a big area but it covered several county's. Being based near London meant that any advertising was costing me a fortune. To get any positions on advertising media which were high ranking, had a huge premium. To cover my areas with advertising i had to be selective.
Have you ever turned up to a quote and realised straight away that the potential client doesn't really want you to do the work. What they really want is some ideas of what can be done with the garden, how much the parts will cost and to see if you the landscaper would be cheap enough to do the work. Basically, you travel for miles, in sometimes heavy traffic or after a long hard day you have to clean up and go off to the quote and once you are there, you just know it's pointless.
The other thing I noticed was it was difficult for some clients to translate their ideas into words. They could picture the Image but not explain it fully. Or when you start getting your creative juices flowing, they could not picture how it would look. Having made many many gardens beautiful I had some great ideas, that I knew would work well, but it's convincing the client of that.
Well one day I had a brain wave and starting searching the app store for a garden design app. However there was none that could put fence panels in, decking areas, sleepers etc, so I thought " I know , I will do it myself " and here I am.
If you landscaping then this app is perfect. Very soon will be the iPhone version !
