What do you love most about your job?
Making a difference! Transforming a wilderness into a neat, tidy, functional but above all beautiful garden gives me great deal of pleasure. My clients usually come to me when their garden or estate is causing them concerns. We agree a schedule of work and a timetable to complete it. When I have delivered the project it gives me as much pleasure as my client. Renovating old borders and lawns is a speciality of mine and as a member of both the RHS and Institute of Groundsmanship I am up to date with all latest techniques and methods, however, my normal approach is based on traditional methods I learnt as an apprentice in the 1980's
What inspired you to start your own business?
I recently sold my I.T. company and my only subsequent intention was to start a gardening business. The company sale enabled me to set up sfvgardens equip it fully and bring my qualifications up to date. I am thrilled to be once again following the profession I started in my 20's!
Why should our clients choose you?
