During the recession companies that specialise in turfing need to diversify their service and adjust their approach to the attract fresh customers. This could take several different forms, although you may already have equipment and staff available. So these approaches could involve discovering garden design, using your delivery vehicle for removals and tree surgery.
Let us begin by discussing garden design. In the wake of home improvement programs that brought Garden SOS and Charlie Dimmock to the fore home owners are increasingly looking for new ways to best express their gardens throughout the year and particularly the summer.
Is it really possible to become commercially versed in the arena of garden design? Well, that depends on your experience. If you've been involved in the delivery of turf for some considerable period, likely, you would have visited hundreds, maybe thousands of gardens throughout the years and developed your own discerning tastes. Your experience is key here and you'll quickly find you can make a series of strong recommendations to your customers.
Next up, let us discuss removals. Perhaps you didn't envision this when you first began your turf company all those years ago. However, it is a natural progression and 1 that makes best use of your existing resources. When you reflect on previous jobs, how many opportunities were there to to do garden removals in the past? Couples realizing their garden space with old furniture sat in the corner ... This is your opportunity to upsell.
Now let us discuss the skill set of tree surgery. This craft isn't easy to master, but when you do, it will pay real dividends and keep you busy throughout the year. After your investment in the tools you and training you'll need - which isn't extensive - you'll be busy trimming hedges and lopping trees. In the long run this skill will balance your accounts very nicely.
Turfing comes in and out of fashion as the seasons pass, however aligning removals, garden design and tree surgery will allow your business to thrive both on and off season.
