FAQ
The small print. In plain English.
What do I get when I join?
The free 2026 Hidden Numbers report as soon as it's released, then one carefully crafted report every two weeks — numbers, systems and growth lessons from inside UK landscaping firms.
Who is it for?
Owners of UK landscaping design-and-build businesses. Not a gardening or homeowner newsletter.
How often will you email me?
Once every two weeks. No daily filler, no 'quick updates.' If we haven't found something worth your time, we don't send.
What happens to my email address?
It stays with us. We use it to send you the reports — nothing else. No third parties, no 'partner offers,' and unsubscribe works in one click.
Why is it anonymous?
Because owners share real numbers when nobody's reputation is on the line. Sources stay protected; the data stays real.
Where do the figures come from?
Public company information and anonymised owner research. We show the method and separate data from interpretation.
Is this an APL or BALI publication?
No. Independent, and not affiliated with or endorsed by any Landscapers Trade Association.
Are you connected to any landscaping company?
No. The Secret Landscaper is an independent publication. We're not owned by, connected to, or writing on behalf of any landscaping business — including any company with a similar name. That independence is the point: it's why owners trust us with their real numbers.
Is it really free?
Yes. The reports and the newsletter are free, and you can unsubscribe in one click.
