Admiring a beautiful, healthy lawn – with no flaws or bare patches – is one of the simple pleasures of life. However, few people outside the lawn care industry realise how much work is needed to obtain this end result.

It’s the middle of grass cutting season, business is excellent and you’ve been working non-stop, putting your equipment through its paces – then there’s an issue with your mower, or a part needs replacing.

When it comes to landscaping, achieving the best results often comes down to managing a delicate balance between nature and nurture to make sure clients' green spaces continue to look their best year-round.

Often it might feel like business ownership and burnout come hand in hand, especially during a tough economic climate. For landscapers coming out of the busy summer season, it’s the time of year when those extra hours may be starting to catch up with you – so it’s best to get ahead of a potential burnout before it happens.

Something isn't right with your client’s lawn. You know it's not just suffering from drought or overwatering, and you’re certain it’s a lawn disease – you’re just not sure exactly which one.

Another scorching summer in most of Europe – and a rather wet one for the rest – has once again created a tumultuous season for the landscaping industry. And while this season's dramatic droughts and rainfall can be partly attributed to the temporary El Niño weather phenomenon, we're all aware that climate change is creating a rather more permanent shift towards extreme weather.

Though it may sound like it, rewilding isn’t just about taking some time off and letting grass grow as wild as it pleases. It actually has quite a bit of science behind it, and is a process that landscapers are key in supporting.

Summer is a busy time for any professional landscaper. Increased heat and sunlight make for optimum growing conditions for plants and lawns that need managing, and with clients spending more time outdoors there's often increased demand for landscaping services.

Digital marketing has become a pillar for the growth of businesses worldwide, in a variety of industries – and the landscaping industry is no different. The visual nature of landscaping makes social media an ideal tool to market your landscaping business.

Capturing images of your work to advertise your landscaping business to potential customers is no longer a nice to have – it's a necessity. One of the best ways to do this as a landscaping business is by taking great photos and videos that can be shared to your social media, on your business website, or shown to prospective clients.

El Niño is a term that has been spoken with trepidation over the past year, with some landscaping professionals bracing themselves for the weather event. But precisely what is it and what does it mean for your landscaping services?
