hope this is allowed here, i need some help with directions to a landscape company in wollaston.

its timotay landscapes, have been on aa route planner etc but i dont have a clue where it is in your town lol
am i right in saying i need to head towards pod from irchester on the b569? & take a left turn onto hinwick road, instead of following the corner round towards santapod & head straight on to the mechanics or whatever it is (williams way?) im guessing its around that area?

hope this makes sense as im crap with road names & directions

Go through Irchester, in to Wollaston past the school, turn left after the school (on to Hookhams Path), go all the way to the bottom, there's a crossroads, turn right (on to Hinwick road) there and Timotay is the first non-house building on your left, easy to spot, it's a big black barn.

Hope that makes sense

Hard landscaping.

It was a REALLY good job, I loved it.

They told me they were dismissing my because I was late every day.

I started at 7:30, was there at 7:20 It was obvious that they only needed me for one contract.

Soft landscaping is the job you want, you get paid loads for planting plants and cutting grass

yeah thats cool, i mean im doing a brickwork course atm so looking for any sort of landscape/labouring/groundwork sort of job just to get some cash and some experience.

late everyday thats a bit harsh really, but i had the same problem in my previous job.

i'll look into that soft landscaping, sounds quite a good job tbh, out in the sun & the fresh air, still will see how this interview goes i not sure what to expect as haven't had any experience in this type of work (apart from college)

I didn't have any experience either, but they'll teach you stuff as you work, which is cool.

They enrolled me on a course at Moulton, learning to lay turf properly and block paving etc.

I'd go back to work for them, it really was a good job (except in the rain )

Good luck with the interview anyway Danny

hard landscaping/labouring but should eventually get to do a bit of everything, pay isn't the best but with being able to learn so many trades & with experience the pay will go up

Yeah, you'll learn a lot.

They should send you on a college course in September too.

yeah, sounds good. Like i said im already doing the FCA brickwork and they seemed pretty interested, i think it helped a lot as it shows im wanting to get into that line of work.
they did mention that they send trainees to college on day release which will be quite good
