Lawn Mowing and many other skills<\/h1>\n

Mark Stanton<\/a> has just very recently set up his own gardening business in Ramsgate<\/a>, providing lawn mowing and many other gardening services. We caught up with Mark to find out how he is getting on in the early days of his new venture. Over to Mark…<\/p>\n

My Training<\/h1>\n

Spring Training Session<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cTime really has flown since I decided to go ahead with setting up my Ed\u2019s Gardening Business. Since starting, I\u2019ve had great training on delivering all the core Ed\u2019s services.  These services are  lawn mowing, hedge cutting, pressure washing, turfing etc. All my training needs have been rigorously covered and I’ve felt that I have been more than well-prepared for actually doing the job. In addition, I’ve found that the business skills training has been really good.<\/p>\n

Ed’s Spring Training Session<\/h1>\n

I\u2019ve been very lucky that an Ed\u2019s Spring training session took place a couple of weeks ago. The timing for that was just perfect for me and the content was excellent. The training day gave me a great insight on how to grow my business successfully. In addition, I got the opportunity to meet a lot of other Ed\u2019s Operators. The session really reinforced just what is achievable if you put the right building blocks in place as you go along.\u201d<\/p>\n

My Work<\/h1>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had some really interesting gardening jobs already. I\u2019m also meeting some really lovely customers and I\u2019m thoroughly enjoying doing my absolute best to ensure that they are really happy with my work.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Huge Garden Clearance<\/h1>\n

\u201cRecently, I\u2019ve worked on a very large garden clearance as one of my first jobs. The garden had not been touched for almost twenty years and it was a big job with a high level of challenge. It’s definitely true that I got huge satisfaction from completing this job. It was a very physical job but immensely rewarding. \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was actually a really interesting job for me, a bit like a jigsaw puzzle. To start with, it was impossible to see what the layout of the garden was . It was just one big jumble with layers upon layers of years of growth. Gradually the footprint of the garden started to appear and I could see the care that had initially been taken it laying it all out and adorning it with garden seats and planters. To be honest, it was a bit like a mini Lost Garden of Heligan!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed the work but by far the best bit was the fact that the customer was hugely appreciative of the work I did. \u201c<\/p>\n

My Five star reviews<\/a><\/h1>\n

\u201c* * * * * Mark has done a fantastic job at my father in-law’s and has brought the garden back under control ready for regular maintenance, would recommend for all garden services.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The value of a job well done<\/h1>\n

\u201cI\u2019m finding that I\u2019m getting strong recommendations from happy customers already, which is wonderful for my confidence. I think that\u2019s the best accolade you can get for your work, someone recommending you to a friend, family member or neighbour because you have made a great impression by doing a brilliant job for them. I get huge satisfaction from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

My thoughts for the future<\/h1>\n

\u201cI suspected I would love doing gardening for a living and I do. It\u2019s lovely to see spring all around and I can\u2019t wait to develop my business as much as I can in the season ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that the lawn mowing season is just beginning. I\u2019m really looking forward to developing lawn mowing and hedge cutting and building u my regular customer base. \u201c<\/p>\n
