The Red Phoenix team bring a practical approach to rewilding that is infused with a sensitivity to the natural world as well as emotional and mental health.
We believe rewilding is so much more than tree planting and biodiversity. It is about reconnecting with the land.

From the first Sam showed himself to be an enthusiastic and ethical gardener. He has an eye for detail and is honest and straightforward in his approach. He gave good advice as to how we should tackle our rather neglected garden and the work that he has to date on Phase 1 has been exactly as required. Recommended. More...

Sam is knowledgeable about re wilding and landscaping. He seeded a wild flower area, transported some old railway sleepers from the back garden to the front by going round the block and built a raised bed. I can’t recommend him too highly.

Sam and his team of Pablo and Andre worked really hard to transform my two directional sloping vegetable garden into some amazing flat terraces with Sleeper walls. As they worked the plan evolved to fit the terrain which was great. They then removed my old shed and shored up the bank behind the shed before erecting a new one. Once again they worked so hard and left the garden in amazing state. They were all very pleasant courteous men and I enjoyed having them around my garden. I am already recommending them to my friends More...

Sam from Red Phoenix not only knows his way around the garden, elements and tools, what most impressed me are his listening skills to my personal needs and wishes for my garden space and how he took this knowledge and aligned it to a workable space that allows me connect with nature more simply going forward. Cannot wait for spring and summer in which I'll be able to enjoy and explore the zen garden more regularly. I most definitely recommend Sams services and love that he blessed my garden also before packing up neatly once he finished his garden work. More...

Sam is an absolute pleasure to do business with; warm and friendly, professional and knowledgeable, and reasonably priced.
He took time to really connect with my garden and listen to what I was wanting, and came up with some excellent ideas. He isn’t just about getting the garden looking tidy, he looks at it as an artist would; where does it need more light, what elements are needed (earth/water/wind/fire), where does it need to open up and where does it need seclusion, or more colour for example?
I wasn’t sure what to expect from his approach and so left him to it as we’d already agreed he’d have a good tidy up/mow/prune to begin with. But when I came home after he’d finished, whereas usually I’d think, yup, garden has been done, this time I felt like the garden had been cared for, a completely different energy, like it had been heard.
Sam isn’t just a gardener he loves nature and builds a relationship with your garden, and that is reflected in his work and the energy that that leaves behind.
Highly recommended 🙏

Sam listens well to the land and to the client. Combining deep listening with the hard graft of physical work, he has facilitated new vision for this piece of land. His many additional skills have included bringing ceremony to the start and completion of work done, expanding the blessing of all activities of past, present and future. Joy to work with, and looking forward to more! More...
