Test…..

Just trying to fine tune the amalgamation of this blog with the Landscape Juice Network so this is a test. (By that I don’t mean it’s a challenge of any sort!)

Quick tip for estimators..

I might be teaching people how to suck eggs here but as I know that other landscapers are reading the blog it seems fair to try to pass on the odd snippett that might be useful.

When I’m putting a quote together I often visit a number of different websites for information, prices, etc. Today is a typical one. The garden I’m quoting has a welded liner for the pool, stainless steel cables over the pergola, a type of brick that we’ve never heard of and various other bits and bobs. I’ve visited perhaps 20 sites for information.

What I do is create a folder in Explorer ‘favorites’ and mark it with the clients name. Then I put all the websites relevent to the job into that folder. That way I have all the salient sites at my finger tips no matter how far into the future it may be before the project starts.
