Offering dig service? Save a Shrub!
Has anyone here ever thought of putting flyers or placing an ad in the paper of a small town offering to come out and dig landscape plants for anyone relandscaping their yard,...or to people with catle or livestock ? You could offer the service very cheap and just add a provision that there is a limit as to the size and quanity of plants to be dug , by stating that "No job too small" and the phrase "a few shrubs or small trees" it could go something like,...["If you have a few shrubs, or small trees that you need taken away, if so, you could save alot of money by calling our plant removal service. We actually keep most of the plants we dig up alive and use them for other landscapes and interests, so we can offer this clearing of unwanted plant material for substantially cheaper than your landscaping company. Save a Shrub and call today! XXX-XXX-XXXX Especially interested in livestock or catle grazed plants,and for some there will be little or NO CHARGE. No job too small."] What'dya think? Pointers or discouragement welcome,...some one please stop me.LOL Jeremy M.C.

I actually planned on doing this on a smaller scale. I'm going to be circulating an e-mail soon to all my friends regarding springtime landscape work (they're a lot more forgiving if you end up having to bail on them). If that turns out ok, I may consider working with a neighborhood association in the future. Basically I'm kinda working my way up to serious urban collecting.
Newspaper ads, I would worry, would lump you in with countless individual landscape freelancers, and it'd be a little bit harder to pick and choose your projects. However, if your pretty serious about it and have the time to devote, it can't hurt. Just my 2¢. ~Mo |
