Ed’s Garden Maintenance launches new web site


Ed’s Garden Maintenance launches new website
“Here at Ed’s we are very excited about having just launched a brand new website. We had a perfectly good website before but if a business really wants to be in online pole position, it’s very important to be keeping pace with the rapidly changing online operating environment. We only launched our new website at the beginning of the month in time for the Google update and already levels of phone and web new business enquiries are running even higher than is the norm at this busy time of year.”

Ed’s Garden Maintenance has a unique advantage in this area as its founder, Ed Mauleverer, has a stellar background in systems development and technical areas such as search engine optimisation.  This puts Ed’s in an excellent position to develop bespoke systems solutions that are well beyond the sophistication level of most companies of that size. 

In Ed’s own words, “A key element of our franchise offering is a very powerful online presence to help Franchise Operators to achieve aggressive business growth. The horizons are constantly changing – people are generally aware of the changes Google are making with a view of higher efficiency in the search engine domain but this is only the very tip of the iceberg.  In Ed’s we see it as our responsibility to keep up with all of this – to harness the challenge and to turn it to our advantage.  There are many facets of having a strong online presence, but an excellent website is probably the jewel in the crown.  We have spent a lot of time developing our new website using and customizing brand new technologies in areas such as responsive web design to work on all types of devices – truly key in the brave new world in which we’re competing.  A huge amount of effort has gone into this but we believe that it puts us in an excellent position to take our brand forward and to leverage business opportunity for our network”.  

Another feature of the new website is the incorporation of micro-sites for individual Operators.  This is key to promoting local gardening businesses within a high-profile global brand context. 

Finally, the website boasts an impressive customer review capability.  In the words of Paul, who runs his Ed’s business in Swindon.  “The website is really impressive and I am thrilled to have my own micro-site on it to push my local business.  I am also very excited by the customer review capability.  I know this is great for pushing us up the search engine rankings, but I also love the fact that the proof of my commitment and professionalism is out there for potential customers to see. It is so much more powerful if customers’ belief in you is written in black and white.”

Ed’s Garden Maintenance helps with wildlife in Bournemouth

Ed’s Operator Mark from Bournemouth sent in the following:-
“My customer needed their fence replacing as it had fallen down last year and now that they were planning on selling their house it was time to get it replaced!  During discussions with the customer they said that whilst it would be good to get the fence replaced, they were sad as they had recently seen a hedgehog come into the garden, via the fallen down fence.  Taking note of this I decided to put a hedgehog hole in the fence above the gravel board.  The customer was really pleased with the work I had done, and the fact that I had left an opening for the hedgehog.  Then three days later I received a call from the customer absolutely delighted to tell me that the hedgehog was using the fence opening, and was drinking in their garden.  The customer was also kind enough to send me a photo of the hedgehog!”

Excellent Review Bournemouth

Hawthorn Hedge – St Ives Cambridgeshire

Richard our Ed’s Operator in St Ives Cambridgeshire recently rejuvenated an old hawthorn hedge, which in parts had become overgrown with ivy.  Richard, who recently completed his chainsaw maintenance and cross cutting course made use of power tools to cut through the ivy which in some areas had trunks as thick as the original hawthorn.  In other areas, the hedge needed patching with new, four year old hawthorn plants.  Once the hedge was cleared and tidy, 50 metres of fencing was erected on the field side, with the base buried below soil level to exclude rabbits from the garden.  Richard said the job was very satisfying, and looks forward to seeing the hedge come back to life in the spring.

 

Review – Happy Customer Bournemouth

Ed’s Garden Maintenance Operator Mark from Bournemouth had the following review from a happy customer:-

“Mark did a fantastic job of putting up fence panels complete with boards and cement etc in what I would say was quite an enclosed area. Very considerate, professional and left the area extremely clean and tidy, would definitely recommend and use again, great job thank you.”
