A Family Business Built on Trust
With over 28 years of experience, we are proud to be a true family business. Built on reliability, honesty and craftsmanship, our reputation has grown through word of mouth and long-standing client relationships. Every project is treated as if it were our own home, handled with care, attention to detail and pride in the result.
Our team includes myself, my partner Phil, my brother-in-law James and my father-in-law Tony. Alongside us, we work with three trusted subcontractors who each have more than 25 years of experience in their trades. They only ever work alongside us, never alone, ensuring every project is completed to our high standards.
From the very first quote, we are transparent. The price you see is the price you pay, with no hidden costs or surprises. If any changes are needed during the project, we always discuss and agree them before moving forward.
Every garden and budget is unique, so we take pride in offering a flexible, thoughtful service that fits both. Our designs are fluid and collaborative, keeping you involved at every stage. With extensive knowledge of products, materials and costs, we help you achieve your ideal outdoor space without unnecessary compromise.
