Name that Business!

Ok Ladies I need your help.

After a year of trying out the plumbing thing Nates decided he's had enough of toliets and somewhat steady paychecks and is going to start his own business. (ack)

He's going back to his roots (get it) and doing what he did for like 12 years...landscaping.

This is where you come in we need a name.
The criteria is as follows:
He doesn't want our name in the title.
If the name lends itself to a matching logo that is good!
Short and sweet.
If it starts with a letter towards the beginning of the alphabet that is also good for those people looking through the phone book who are too lazy to get to the Z's

To get your creative juices flowing here's what I've come up with:
Mt. Hood Landscape (however its apparently to area specific) ?
Chinnook Landscape (Nate likes this cuz of the fish thing and opportunity to use the fish logo but it doesn't roll off your tongue like I wish it would.)
Custom Lanscape (too boring)
Precision Landscape (whoops ever heard of Precision auto Glass in Gresham?)

Any suggestions you can come up with is greastly appreciated because he's been workin hard to get stuff going but can't get any farther until he has a name.

Why do I feel like I"m naming my 5th child?
Have a great weekend!

Above & Beyond Landscape?

Like the Mt. Hood, Chinook & Precision ideas...

Have him call Stann & ask him for ideas. LOL He's the quick-witted one in the family that always comes up with catchy names & titles...

GOOD LUCK. :) Nate'll do awesome!!

wow, i wish i were more creative...i like chinook landscape. fun to see your blog, love the pictures at the beach :)

I love the idea of Chinook Landscaping with the fish logo too. I think there are too many business' named Precision. I also like: Alpine Landscape(you could have a silouette of a tree as your logo), Timberline Landscape(a picture of the mountain), Pacific Landscape(the ocean with plants and trees along the shore), Northwest Landscape, Bald EagleLandscape(a picture of an eagle) I'm sure you will come up with something very catchy and creative. Nate will do a great job!!!

Wow! Mandy sure gave you a lot of ideas! I like the chinook and I like the alpine one too...I will think about it and make a point of pondering in the shower... That seems to be where all my epiphanys come (was that TMI?) I'll let you know...

Since it's Oregon it could be Rain or Shine Landscape. You could have an umbrella and sunshine in the logo.
:-) We'll let you know if something pops up.

My vote is with the Chinook Landscaping or Alpine Landscaping. Those are good ones.
