For the most part, commercial properties want contracts done at the first of the year. I've learned that already even though I have somewhat limited experience. You can get a pretty good start on bid forms by buying the ones in the lawnsite store. I did & they gave me good perspective for what I already had on paper. Use the search engine here too. The lawnsite archives are filled with great input from lots of pros.

grassblaster...do you serve the preserve at jordan lake? I receive several calls from that development...but have no referrals and don't cover that area. Let me know if you would be interested, we can work something out.

[KerryB]

Hey Mark,
Do you sell your flowers to us hard working landscrapers or just grow them for yourself?
Looking for another supplier. Your not that far away.

[Mark50]

Yes we sell to many landscapers. Call Pam 704 651 5819 and she would be glad to help you.

Mark Gillett

[Mark50]

Ok guys here is one of my thoughts and I'd like to get your feedback. What we would like to do is set up our landscaping business on the "siding business, business model". That is to say we do the marketing, sales and all the financial stuff. We then have a "stable" of qualified and quality oriented subs to do the install. You would get paid by the job. We would supply all the materials etc in one location so that your time would be spent on doing the work instead of running all over town to pick up a little of this and a little of that. We could schedule the jobs to fit your schedule. At the heart of it you would remain your own boss and all of the marketing and advertising cost would be spread out over a larger base. And all of the financial stuff would be handles by us. Does this have any appeal?
Mark Gillett

Thanks Mark,

Oh....give me a couple of days to get it going.

There already is one for NC call ****************.com I do not publicize it on lawnsite because of gentleman's agreement I have with Sean the owner of lawnsite. We had problems with the server in the fall and it will be back up and at full speed by green and grow in Greensboro. This site is for NC LCO's and has a link to lawnsite. When the site went down the frist time we lost all our menbers. But like I said this is a NC site lawnsite is a enternational site. There are a lot of other sites out there but why drive a copy of a BMW when you can drive the real thing.

I'd like to get the address to those sites. If you don't want to post them then just e-mail me. Branchlandscape@bellsouth.net

Do you service the Asheville,NC area? If so, what services do you provide? I am looking for someone to possibly sub out some turf apps to in that area.

[turfmastersplus]

Turfmastersplus..... Would you consider giving me a quote on some sub work for turf apps? This property is about 3 1/2 acres of fescue. It is a commercial property, but over 80% of it is wide-open. I already received a quote from Trugreen, but it seems high to me. I am looking for someone in the $3 per 1000 square foot range. Can you provide that service at that cost? If so, my next question is... would you be willing to work off of a purchase order system?

Will be serving the Hillsborough, Efland, and Mebane areas. Right now I only do one yard each month for some extra cash. It's hard working a regular 9-5 and trying to handle a lot of accounts. I recently recived my degree in landscape design so if any local guys need some help in design or installation, just let me know.

I hope to be adding a few more accounts as this season goes along and then even more next year. I just have to sit down and plan everything out first. I admire you guys, there's a lot to handle!

P.S. I have been working for a company in Greensboro and curious as to what people charge in this area just to mow edge and blow. I know the guy I worked for was avg 30-35 per stop. I just don't want to come into the business as the low baller. I am thinking 40-45 per. ANy advice would help. Thanks

hey guys, i am from michigan, but want to come over to your part of the country and visit the furniture district. I hear i can find really good prices on the stuff that sells in our stores here. And i dont mean the stuff that has a "sale this saturday only"....if you know what i mean...

Wanted to ask you where is your furniture district. Is it in just one centralized location or it's spread out all over the state?

Sorry to be off topic, but we are looking to buy a modern (contemporary) style couch but the internet is pointing to High Point.

Your help will be appreciated. thanks so much. Please let me know what area of NC i need to be traveling to since i am planning on coming over next tuesday.

Hey Pentrentz the furniture mecca is High Point, NC.
thanks, NC-native....how about Lenoir? I just saw that they have 20 miles of furniture outlets and stores.

I will be coming to High point, but wanted to see if it's worth driving to Lenoir.

your thoughts?

thanks so much!!!

[nc-native]

Ok guys here is one of my thoughts and I'd like to get your feedback. What we would like to do is set up our landscaping business on the "siding business, business model". That is to say we do the marketing, sales and all the financial stuff. We then have a "stable" of qualified and quality oriented subs to do the install. You would get paid by the job. We would supply all the materials etc in one location so that your time would be spent on doing the work instead of running all over town to pick up a little of this and a little of that. We could schedule the jobs to fit your schedule. At the heart of it you would remain your own boss and all of the marketing and advertising cost would be spread out over a larger base. And all of the financial stuff would be handles by us. Does this have any appeal?

Go on........

Lenoir is a good second stop. High Point Has the big events where all the major manufactors and retailers huddle up in the fall. Lenoir is just a couple hours down the road from G Boro.
