I started my career as a tree surgeon in 2012 after working for the distribution company UK Power Networks. I initially trained as an arborist at Otley College in Suffolk, completing a level 3 subsidiary diploma in arboriculture. I then went on to complete further tree surgery qualifications and experience including power lines, climbing, pruning at height and safety work.

Since then, I have worked with various tree companies and gained valuble skills and knowledge along the way.

I slightly changed direction into domestic gardening as demand was high. I soon learned that my passion for gardening was strong and allowed me to express my creative talents.

With the skills I carried from tree surgery and my previous training, I flourished with gardening and quickly made a name for myself in a local village. Twelve years on, I have a regular client base with several gardens I maintain year round.

My biggest passion is working closely with clients to keep a garden looking its best and creating new ways to improve certain areas. I have a natural flare for knowing what the customer wants and making it become a reality.
