I am thinking about doing some landscape design work after I finish the course I’m taking (in landscape design, naturally enough), and I would like a very cool name for my business. I plan to specialize on low-maintenance, low water use designs, so it would be super if that were incorporated as part of my business name.
My forerunners so far are Laurel Leaf Landscape Design and Huntington Landscape Design (I live in the Huntington area, and I think it has a nice ring to it). I wanted to call my business Threshold Landscape Design, but it just doesn’t seem to work. So, any suggestions from all you smart, talented, creative people?
I knew you guys could come through for me. {sniff} How about a play on the current movie, The Constant Gardener - The Never Gardener? I also kinda like Au Natural Landscape Design.
(Xeri-Licious? I like it!)
Sure, that falls under And Stuff. :dubious:
Ok, ok, lets try: Mow Better Homes and Gardens. No?
How about: Featherlou presents Your New Garden. Too artsy?
Featherlou’s Ye Olde Gardene Designe? Too fake colonial?
“Carefree Landscape Design” - C.L.D. doesn’t give you a bad company initial, which is alwaysimportant. This is more a descriptive name without a negative mental image.
“Laurel Leaf Landscape Design” - L.L.L.D. The name is good, it makes me picture green things with no negative associations. It’s not descriptive, but it gives me a positive good feeling. You can always add “Specializing in” under the company name, which is probably a good thing in the long run. You can change the “specializing in” part, without losing your name recognition, later if you need to shift with the market demands.
“Huntington Landscape Design” I would keep away from the name as it would send people searching the internet, to medical pages about Huntington’s, and I’ll bet a number of local companies start with the same name.
The name is meant to catch and reel in clients at a glance, so you should blank your mind, and say the name. What’s your first impression at hearing the name? You shouldn’t have to think about a company name to get what they do. Example “Arid Designs” is bad in that I associate the name imediately with lots of baren inhospitable landscape, which isn’t the way to get someone to pick you over another name randomly.
