Landscape Solutions

We’ve been listed on a website called Thumbtack for months with very little activity. It is always interesting for us to monitor where business comes from and for us it is USUALLY word of mouth. Well this week we are meeting with our first potential client from our listing on thumbtack.com

We’d love to hear from you! Are you using thumbtack for any other services?

Environmental Landscape Design & Installation

The annual “Best of Nashville” Reader’s Poll has begun! Landscape Solutions of Nashville would love your support in the following categories

• Home : Best Landscaper
• Other : Best Environmentally Friendly Business

We’ve been working on a lot of really cool projects as of late, so over the coming days/weeks I’m going to try and be better about updating the blog so everyone can learn about them. Check back to read updates about:

• The Green Wagon rain garden project
• Belle Meade native landscape including a 450+ sf rain garden
• Outdoor living projects we’ve completed & design concepts for upcoming projects we have in the works (including wood burning pizza ovens as a part of outdoor kitchens!)
• Kitchen Composting using the fully automated nature mill composter

We just completed a day of celebrating sustainability & locality at The Green Wagon in East Nashville. Johnny and Tara Shields made the AWESOME decision to consult with a local small business known as Landscape Solutions. Yep, that’s us! We designed a 100% native landscape including a rain garden. The benefits of rain gardens are multifaceted, so we will save that for another blog post.

If you haven’t been to The Green Wagon yet, YOU MUST! They focus on stocking a wide variety of products that are organic, green, and local. Stop in at 1100 Forrest Ave. in East Nashville and let them know we sent you!

Going local is a key part of creating a more sustainable society. So, Landscape Solutions has decided to offer locally grown herbs & vegetables for sale this year! In fact, they are grown right here in my downtown condo.

We started by purchasing seeds and supplies from the locally owned and operated All Seasons. Then, they were put into our grow tent for a quick and easy germination. Once they are established we are transferring them to reclaimed pots filled with a high quality organic potting soil.

We currently have the following for sale at $4 each. Email us at info@landscapetn.com if you’d like to purchase one.

• Beefsteak Heirloom
• Italian Roma
• Broadleaf Sage
• Basil
• Large Leaf Basil

Let us know if you have a specific request. We are glad to custom grow your next herb or vegetable.

Also, we recently purchased new shirts from the locally owned and operated business The Friendly Arctic. Andy and Brendan were really great to work with. Make sure and give them a call for all your screen printing needs.

Cliff and I are wrapping up our 20th month as Landscape Solutions of Nashville, LLC and boy do we have a lot to be thankful for. We have been able to start a successful company and create a unique image for a local business that will continue to help create a more sustainable community for Nashvillians for years to come.

We are thankful that we have remained healthy over the past 20 months. Well, for the most part. I spent our first summer working on a broken foot and Cliff randomly catches sicknesses Casey who I think catches them from her students.

We are thankful for our friends & supporters. Our business has been well over 90% referral to date and we are SO SO thankful for all of you out there who have continued to believe in us and tell your friends about what we do. A large part of what our business believes in is continuing to give back to the community that supports us. We recently launched a Referral Program that does just that. We donate to charity in YOUR name just for you letting us know about someone who needs our services.

We are thankful for our AMAZING clients who are willing to learn about native plants, regenerative & sustainable landscapes, rain gardens, certified wildlife habitats, pervious pavement systems, arbors, pergolas, edible landscapes, raised gardens & all of the other things that Landscape Solutions is designing and installing across Nashville. We are also thankful that you are willing to pay us to do this awesome stuff!

We are ever so thankful for our families. Mom, Dad, Stan, Kevin, Naomi, Theo, Casey & Cliff’s family. All of you are awesome and Cliff and I are ever so thankful that you have been a part of bringing us into this world, raising us, giving us wives, nephews, brothers, sister-in-laws and your unconditional love.

So here is a huge THANK-YOU from the team at Landscape Solutions for everything that each of you have done to help create & support what we are. If you don’t feel like you’ve done much you are doing more than you might realize by reading this blog. Share it with a friend if you like what you’ve read!

So it is a little hard for us to believe but we’ve been creating environmentally sensitive landscapes for a year and a half now. We have pursued a variety of marketing avenues over that time but still have a favorite, REFERRALS! The majority of our business has come from satisfied clients and supportive friends letting their friends know about our great work. In appreciation we are proud to announce our new ‘refer a friend’ program. Landscape Solutions will be donating $100 to a charity of your choosing for every new client you refer to us.

This is just one more way we can help give back to the community that has been supporting us over the past year and a half.

Thank-you, Nashvillians!
