I'm Ben, a gardener and plantsman who began my career specialising in ornamental gardens under the award winning tutelage at Capel Manor Gardens. I have attained a Distinction* (Star) in Level 3 Advanced Technical Horticulture (City and Guilds), and I am a horticulturalist and a keen plantsman. I pride myself on bringing beauty and care to garden borders, utilising my knowledge as a horticulturalist to ensure that your garden is maintained to a high standard in the correct way at the right times.
From your first phone call or e-mail I will listen to your needs and ask you questions about your garden and what kind of work you would like to be carried out. I will then arrange to come and visit you to take a look and will give you a quote then and there in most cases. The garden maintenance service is a year round complete care package for your garden.
Be it a small english cottage garden or a large garden with its own varying micro-climates, Ben will be able to look after your garden and keep it maintained to a high standard.

The needs of a garden of half an acre in size and above are very different to the needs of the average small back garden.
I work in very large gardens with a lot of acreage and even more planting, and I understand the challenges of running such a large site.
You need to keep on top of the waste, control the budget and still turn out a wonderful garden that fits your needs through out the year.
I offer a bespoke service that is the same hourly rate as my smaller gardens, that includes the management and maintenance of such large sites.

From Fruit Trees to Wisteria to Roses and Climbers, many plants require a particular method of pruning to get them looking at their best.

The pruning service includes promoting a healthy growing plant, and inspecting for pests and diseases, as well as signs of nutrient deficiency.

Ben has been our gardener for nearly two years and I would highly recommend him.
It is clear that gardening isn't just a job for him; he's passionate about what he does and has extensive knowledge so has really sound advice for how to tackle problem areas in our garden.
In addition, he's really personable, flexible, patient and hardworking.
What's more, he's reliable and honest, so you know you're not paying for things you don't need.
Since having my son, his gardening work has really helped take the pressure off me and ensures we still have a garden that looks nice all year round.
