Lawn Care Business Landscaping Marketing Flowers Plants Shrubs Irrigation Landscape Lighting http://www.lawncare-business.com/blog/lawn-care-and-landscaping-dvds/ I’ve been working hard to finish up our first 4 lawn care / landscaping DVD’s. We are just about done.

They are:
1. Landscaping basics (This DVD covers us doing planning with the software we use to do before and after shots, the basic install, etc)

2. Low Voltage Landscape Lighting. (This DVD covers us doing an install, goes over tips, tricks, etc)

3. Irrigation Installation (This DVD Covers us doing an install of an irrigation system at a new house. Includes planning, layout, installation, testing, etc)

4. Pavers (This DVD Covers us doing an install at a new construction job site from start to finish)

I’ll start posting samples of each over the next few days. Stay Tuned!
All the DVD’s are 1 to 1 1/2 hours long and are really cool (if I do say so myself)

Thanks!

It covers the basics.

More coming soon. I’m just about done with the HUGE flower directory I’ve been working on.
Actually the writing part is done but I don’t have time to take all the photos of each flower (plus some aren’t native to where I live).
Anyway… I’ll do my best to get it all up in the next week or so.
