In this article, Richard Bickler shares some invaluable tips on keeping business costs under control.
With three decades of landscaping experience, Richard Bickler is no stranger to the devastating effects of hidden costs and unexpected price rises. From extreme weather conditions, to employee sickness, delays in deliveries and nasty tax bills, he’s been on the receiving end of all of it. And he’s learned plenty of lessons along the way.
A back injury means that Richard can no longer get involved with hands-on landscaping but that doesn’t mean that his passion for creating beautiful spaces has been diminished in any way. As MD of Arbour Landscape Solutions, Richard has set out to make life easier for all of his industry colleagues. Which means that he not only works tirelessly to rootle out the best prices for landscaping materials, he’s also very happy to share his experiences to help others.
You have your design, you know within a little which materials are required. Now it’s time to find the best prices.
You could spend time talking to supplier after supplier, trawling through catalogues, gathering samples, checking on availability etc. Is that the best use of your time? Will any possible price savings actually cover the cost of your time?
Or
You could make full use of the tools on the Arbour Landscape Solutions website to find the products you need, and get prices and samples with just the click of a mouse.
Remember, that all of these tools are available 24/7. There’s no waiting for the office to open or the rep to come back from holiday. The information you need is there, instantly.

Wondering which sub-base, adhesives or sealing materials to use? There is a confusing array of information out there. Don’t make costly mistakes? Talk to your Landscape Industry Specialist for free advice on any landscaping products…..even if they’re not on the website yet.
Another great source of advice is the Landscape Library. Written by Alan Sargent, a consultant with over 50 years-experience, this is an incredibly useful resource. Click here to find out more.
The average landscaper buys from an average of 25 different suppliers. That’s a lot of people and it can make project management quite consuming.
Richard’s business, Arbour Landscape Solutions is all about freeing up your time and allowing you to focus on the build. In short, when you buy from ALS, it’s simply a matter of choosing products, defining the quantities and requesting the delivery date. Richard and his team will liase with manufacturers, growers and hauliers and then let you know when to expect your goods.
Arbour Landscape Solutions can’t run your business for you; that would be daft. BUT, Richard and his team can offer advice on landscape consultancy, technical information, marketing and product sourcing. And if they’re not sure, they’ll put you in touch with the experts.
Got questions about product sourcing? Come along to Futurescapes on 17th March 2020 where Richard is taking part in the seminar program. At 3pm, he’ll be answering questions on “The DNA of Purchasing: The best buys from the best guys”. The show is free to attend and well worth a visit.
