What the business does
A site visit captures aspect, soil, existing plants and what the household actually wants. An AI-assisted planting scheme turns that into a design the operator can quote and install. After handover, a care calendar issues reminders for watering, cutting, planting and seasonal jobs, to the household, or to a maintenance round if the client stays on.

The numbers
These are our estimates to help you plan. They aren't a promise of what you'll earn.

£146,360
Typical sale (estimate)
£4,200
Gross margin (estimate)
32%
Break-even point (estimate)
1 modest project and a handful of care calendars per month
How much work it can handle

Chance of repeat income
Medium
Forecast at a glance
Project work still drives the curve. Care calendars add a thinner recurring layer and should not be read as if every client becomes a full maintenance contract.
Year 3 income (estimate), base case: £146,360
Light blue shows income, grey shows costs and dark blue shows profit. Each point is one month, from month 1 to month 36. Year 3 income adds up months 25 to 36. The labels at month 36 are that month's income, costs and profit. The £ amounts are estimates to help you plan. They aren't a promise of what you'll earn. Where an estimate would be below zero, we show £0.
