Creator Linette Applegate explains;
"Since teaming up with Homebase in 2006 to provide garden design, it became apparent the sheer demand for inspiration from homeowners. I was inundated with requests for design and landscaping from across the UK, homeowners kept saying they 'did not trust business websites' and 'can I recommend anyone locally?' - so I set about creating a 'level playing field' for the industry and a focal-point for consumers to decide who's best for them.
Seeing the explosion of Social Networks and listening to homeowners, it seemed obvious to use this new technology to help them find local businesses - and make informed decisions on who to employ. It's still very new, and we have lots of fresh features and initiatives under development - so far both the trade and the public love it. You really can lose yourself in there for hours..."
