Starting a landscape consulting business: What do homeowers want to know about their landscapes?

I’m a horticulturist with 10 years of experience working on all type of properties ranging from small homes to 1st class museum collections. I want to share my expertise by working with property owners to help upgrade and maintain their landscapes. I currently write a newsletter that covers seasonal maintenance tasks, pest and disease issues, and design ideas.

I’d like to be doing evaluations of existing landscapes, quality checks on new installations (you’d be surprised at how many things can go wrong!), and teach gardening classes.

I don’t want to be acting as a contractor, rather be working as a referer or liaison between my clients and landscapers. I want to be a client’s advocate, not a servicemagic.com paid referal service where landscapers pay for leads or give kickbacks.

I’m open to all any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
