I see this particular sub-forum of Arbtalk is "for those wishing to diversify into landscaping". As someone who has run a paving & landscaping company for 18 years, I'd be happy to offer any advice I can give. More useful perhaps, I also help run Landscape Hub, (a forum for those in or associated with the landscape and horticultural industries). We have a wealth of knowledge there in both landscaping and garden / grounds maintenance, so any questions I can't answer, (there might be many!), I can always ask Landscape Hub members for assistance. Similarly if I see any Arb questions on the Hub that can't be answered, I'll definitely be referring them to Arbtalk. Gary
