I'm currently trying to come up with a new trading name for my business as up until now i have used my Bank account name initials, which is pretty forgetable. So i want to use a catchy, no more than two words name, which i can use on everything from letterheads to veichle branding, you still with me 
So ive got a few ideas and wondered which you lads thought sounded a good solid name, if any, and your also welcome to leave your own gems, a virtual pint or 2 to the winner, un less of course i use me own :p
Gardentek-Cumbria
Gardenfix-Cumbria
Gardenworks-Cumbria
or
Gardenbuild-Cumbria

"Eden landscapes"
"Eden landscape and design"
" true north gardens"
"sellafield garden design" whoops not that one
i like the juxtaposition of eden being an area of cumbria and also as in the garden of eden
plus its easy to answer the phone and say "eden landscapes,hello"
if its too complicated people wont ring
cheers LLL

There's a lot of Eden Landscapes about. Just like bloody Four Seasons Landscapes. Don't ask, it's a long story!

And "heritage landscapes"
"all cut and cleared"
"four seasons tree care"
and the classic slogan to go with a typical pikey outfit
"big enough to cope, small enough to care"

Slightly off at a tangent, but there is a local builder with the name "Brick's & Things"
I've never met the bloke, but I want to ask why he felt it necessary to put an erroneous apostrophe in the plural of "brick" but correctly not in the plural of "thing".
There was a firm 'round these parts, now defunct, called 'Rakes and Ladders'.

Tree felling business, locally, named "Kleen Kutt"
and "Down to Earth", Electrical Contractors are a good example. Their vans look good with the livery.

I find the spread in Dulwich with a van calling himself "Let's get plastered" slightly dubious.
If you are a chippy, it can be changed to "Let's get hammered"!

i have never saw 1 eden landscapes about rich??
can you direct me to any?
obviously 4 season and countrywide and premier anything all tell their own tales
i wanted to be Atlantic construction but apparently there are a good few of them in the south west,so i had to settle for a boring mnemonic
and scoffs you could call yourself "scoffsred gardens" and if you are good people will come
