A friend and I are starting up a landscape gardening business in Crystal Palace soon (btw, this isn't spam, honest - I'm sure most people in this group can diy!).
Trouble is, we want a nice catchy name for ourselves. Any ideas more original than 'Greenfingers' would be very welcome. You'll get a prize if we use your idea :-)

'Greenfingers'? You put seedlings in and they grow! 'I really wanted someone to come and redesign and possibly rebuild my gareden'

Whatever you do use something beginning with 'A' as this will come first in the yellow pages and more people will call you ! What are your surnames ? maybe you can make a play on words with those ?? Jenny

I will no doubt be sat on, but I don't think much of Yellow Pages. Word of mouth is by far the best recommendation. AND, if you have one of those freebie papers in the area you are covering, advertise in there. Keep the advert small and put it in each week. I used to use our local one a lot, and have 'just' started to advertise a new business I am commencing. The first advert comes out next Thursday. Cost £4.00 for a circulation of 23,000
There is an art to advertising. I think it was Henry Ford who said, 'Half of my advertising costs are a waste of money, the trouble is I don't know which half'.
R.N.Shipmates and the H.M.S.Collingwood Association are now know around the World, and not one penny has been spent on advertising!!

Do you need to have a name which says what you do?
A good play on words would be Crystalis. Nice short name for an emerging company. Its in the first few lines of the yellow pages (handy when people are looking for a landscpe gardener) Nd the domain name Crystalis.co.uk is still available. It also goes well with well with the tag lines like "watch your dreams emerge".

Martin Harlow and Michael Bartlett (plus Jo Watson as a part timer). Not a lot to go on, really.
Thanks for all the ideas so far. I'll throw them into our next brainstorming sesh. So far, I particularly like Crystalis and The Palace Gardeners, though most of the others are good too.
