What do you love most about your job?

Easy question to answer! Seeing the finished product of our work, regardless if its a small weeding/pruning job to larger re landscaping projects. Looking at what the garden/outdoor space looked like before to how it looks after is something that gives me a huge amount of pride and satisfaction. Also, working outdoors is something i love.

What inspired you to start your own business?

Working for people for most of my life and not really benefiting from my talent and efforts. Setting up Nettles & Petals Ltd has something i should of done long ago.

Why should our clients choose you?

Tough question as there are so many good Landscape gardeners out there. I would say if you would like a Landscape gardener/Gardener to approach your garden as they would do if it was their own personal garden then thats an attitude i have always adopted. I'm honest and professional in the way i conduct myself, and the calibre of my work is of high quality.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

It my field, i feel its impossible to price or estimate cost of a job via a telephone call or by seeing photos.

We encourage site visits to meet and discuss your garden requirements regardless of the size of the job. I conduct visits in a safew and covid compliant way to limit any transmission risk

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

We have changed the way we meet and conduct site visits to insure we keep the client and ourselves as safe as possible. We sanitise all our tools from site to site to halt and potential spread. We also change work gloves when working on multiple sites.

We meet all clients outside and where possible use external access to view gardens.
