- About your business
- I have been operating my own, small, business for the last two years, working on, mainly domestic projects and covering all aspects of landscaping: horizontal and vertical surfaces, fencing, turfing including full preparation, drainage, and soft landscaping including the planting of semi mature trees.
Previously I worked for LDC on public, amenity and, 'high end' domestic projects as part of the hard landscaping team. Originally I was an NCH qualified tree surgeon: I still climb and absolutely love tree work, but I'm getting a bit old and creaky to do it every day.
Always happy to complete sub-contract work for other Landscapers and Designers.
