Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Where are the landscape gardeners in abundance for my outdoor areas? I have contacted and called at least 10 companies - multiple times, even repeatedly, only one has come so far, an offer? Never received... I really have little desire to do it myself, so that it is done professionally and visually appealing, but I just can't get any reputable companies to make offers. And now I'm not being stingy with the budget either, but still they all seem to be overwhelmed with work. It will probably come down to a lot of DIY after all, my physiotherapist is surely reading along and already rubbing his hands.

Yes. Now the orders from early 22 are also being processed. By the second half of 2023 at the latest, all projects from the first half of 2022 will be completed, so that from summer onwards there will be a drop in orders for many of the companies involved in construction. Call there again in July.

A little exercise rarely hurts. At least I feel much healthier after a day when I did a lot of tinkering or was on my feet a lot, than on a day when I sit down at the desk at 8:00 a.m. and get up again at 6:00 p.m. There are days like that when something urgently needs to be finished...

Garden landscapers do not only build houses. They work in many areas, such as park and urban design. Maybe they are not really affected by it at all.

And the public sector continues to build as well. And they also make up a part of the customers. Not just private home builders.

What is often forgotten... now first of all, everyone who has been waiting for years for small jobs from craftsmen, for which craftsmen have so far felt "too good," will get their turn.

I am always surprised at how long we are still kept busy with "small fry" when we are missing the large orders for 1 or 2 years. Usually, the 1-2 years are just enough to level the pile that we have been pushing ahead of us... and then it starts all over again, after a year you can no longer see over the mountain.
