I was wondering about the size but seem people say it's fine like that and you don't have to scroll down to read the pages, others have said it's too small.
How does the home page look now with that size font compared to the rest pf the site? Don't know why but when I re-size it there are extra spaces everywhere and it took me a while to fix it all up! I'll wait for some feedback before I do the rest of the site.
I don't have trouble with either size font but think the larger looks better.

Just had a look at your page mate. A couple of things jump out at me straightaway
1. Too much white space on right hand side. Is is a 3 column page if it is and you are not using that area change it to a 2 colum so that area does not look wasted
2. If you are going to bold anything then do your top 2 or 3 keywords. By bolding a word you are telling bots that it is important to the structure of the page. Bold you top keywords and have them in the content. You can use underline for the same thing.
3. No alt tags on your images. Use alt tags with keywords in them
4. Get captcha for your contact page or else you will get heaps of spam
5. Video links take you off your page. Have them open in a new tab
Hope that helps a bit
Cheers

Is it a CMS template or website in a can one. Do you have any functions to adjust the template

Thought I would put this out there as I spent about 8 hours looking at websites and local businesses last night and realised that a lot of businesses are advertising in a way that gets them a lot of front page exposure but makes them look....................well cheap.
About 12 months ago there was a new ( I think unregistered business ) that started an advertising campaign that got them on the front page everywhere (well at least in my work areas anyway) Ever since I have noticed that a lot of people have followed suit, including myself but only to a point. Even a certain new website that only allows businesses that have had training. I don't know too many independents that have had training unless your a jimbob.
I guess the point I'm getting at is that it does worried me but I suppose it shouldn't because most potential new customers see through the bull-crap advertising and look for a local professional contractor . The first business that I saw doing this disappeared with in 6 months.
Thanks for all the help on this guys. I have just typed in random phrases to do with irrigation on Google and my site is on or near the top on most of them. I still have more work to do but it's getting there. I have made a few changes but I think it looks much better. I changed the top banner on my site but it came out a bit weird. Not sure why but I will muck around more with it today seeing it's raining. The curves on my font look like a 50 cent coin instead of being round.
Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for the feedback Ian.
It was more for the search term but I think at the moment the people more likely to get a garden makeover would be people selling. I figured most other people would type in 'landscaper' if they wanted their gardens re-done. If they type in Garden makeover it will come up, but if they type something about tips on selling their house it might pull a few more in. That was my theory anyway. People will be more willing to spend if they are selling their house and know they will get a return from it, or know that they need to spend a bit to sell their house to make it look the part.
