If you know of any please invite them over. You can also use our refer a friend link here: http://www.contractortalk.com/tell.htm

Also, if anyone has any ideas of how to reach these guys let me know.

Thanks! :Thumbs:

That's cause there are several lawncare and landscape boards also using vBulletin format.

I am not going to spam your board with the links, but I thought I would answer your question.

BTW I am an Admin on one myself.

 

[Nathan]

yea, there are more landscaping boards out there than anything else. But I still this forum is very unique. How many boards do you know of where a landscaper can share marketing/business ideas with a plumber?

BTW, Thanks for leaving out the links... :Thumbs:

 

[Teetorbilt]

I could use a landscaper, I keep tearing stuff out and not replacing it.
It's starting to look like Hiroshima around here.

Well I'm new at landscaping so I wont be of much help but.... I am here. I do mostly construction clean-up work but that brings me into contact with the builders and so far I have done a little lawn seeding and a retainer wall so a driveway parking area could be expanded on a slight slope. I also have a few lawn maintenance accounts.

As for letting others know about your site I will ask if it's ok too let members know about you on a couple of sites that are not afraid of other sites and see what they say. I do know that if you wont let there links be posted they won't care much about letting me post yours.

We'll start filtering over shortly. :cheesygri

Welcome to the board Black Water!

What do you think we can do to attract more landsapers? We like having all trades input in our discussions.

Other than free mowers and beer, I think Leadarrows second paragraph is a step in the right direction.

Another old thread, but it stood out in light of the low landscaper traffic when I first found this forum.

I think there is always room for several forums. For me, they are part recreational.

The lawn forums - others - have a unique nature. Many of the posts indicate the users are pushing their way into the industry, trying to milk free information and not lifting a finger to go through college or get the right training.

In one, it's amazing how many lawn services add to their signature a list of the equipment they own.

That would be like me signing this post with:

M. D. Vaden
Toshiba TV
JVC stereo
Canon Camera

or Husqvarna 385XP

In a way, it appears like a thin "veneer" for a small ego - fragile personalities.

Hopefully you get visitors - I'm here by accident.

I just started a tree related forum. But I won't mind whether it get 40 posts per day, or 40 per month. I'm almost leaning toward the lean side.

My site just got hacked into last week. My son says the logs show 100,000 visits by the one source that did the damage - to insert a fake Ebay page.

We use a PHP NUKE layout. We need to investigate the long-term security issues. It seems it was the server that may have compromised the situation.

I might be interested, do you have a web site? You didn't sign in so there is no contact info.
