How to choose landscape business names
If you’re planning to set up a landscaping business, have a read of our guide on how to choose landscape business names, including some tips that you can use for ideas and guidance.
Important points when choosing landscape business names
Setting up a business can be daunting. With the right approach, however, you’ll soon be winning new customers and making more profits.
One of the first things to do when starting a landscaping business it to decide on a name. You'll need it for registering with HMRC.
Simple, you may think!
However, choosing the right name can be harder than it looks.
Here are some important points to consider when looking for landscape business name ideas.
What is the main selling point of your business?
The first thing to know when naming your landscape business is that your name should always relate in some way to the services you intend to provide.
Think about your main selling points and how these services can be incorporated into your landscape business name. Your offering may be in landscaping, but it can also serve as inspiration.
Paving
Fencing
Planting
Remodelling
Patios
Groundwork
You should also try to avoid a name that is unrelated to your new landscaping business. For example, if you don't cover elements of gardening such as potting or watering, then don't settle on a name with these words.
Tips to nail your landscaper marketing

Are you planning to grow your business?
If you’re setting up as a sole trader and intend to stay as one, then you may not be as interested about growing your landscaping business.
If, however, you want to grow to support becoming a limited company, then your name should not restrict your business’ growth potential.
For example, if you're planning to reach a wider audience, then using locations in your name may not work.
Do you want to expand your services in the future?
In the same way that focusing your business name on one location can limit future growth, using your current services in your business name can have the same effect if you plan to expand.
For example, if you focus your landscape business name on domestic gardening, it’ll be more difficult to expand your services into the commercial sector at a future date.
Do you want a big online presence?
Today, all successful business have some sort of online presence. This is an important consideration when naming your business.
Choosing an SEO friendly business name will ensure that your company gets found in online searches.
Be sure to do some research before you start to ensure that you choose the best possible name.
