About Us
I, James, have been running my own business since the first lockdown hit in March 2020. This caused me to be out of work and I fell into helping neighbours, family, and friends with their gardens. A few months passed of me doing this consistently. I had gained quite a few more customers and was getting rather busy. Being outdoors everyday away from the standard 9-5 and enjoying every aspect of my work was a breath of fresh air for me and I couldn’t believe how much I was loving it. I decided to take a leap of faith and pursue gardening full time and started up my own small business. Starting from the ground up with little experience in business, a few second-hand tools, and my car to transport everything, in the strangest time of my life made it an interesting couple of years, but I loved it. Two years passed and I was running a fully established gardening business with a full calendar of customers, a wide variety of new tools and equipment, and a big van to carry it all. Although I was very successful in gardening and loved every minute of it, I always felt like I wanted something more from my work.

Climbing has always been a hobby of mine. I have fond memories of climbing trees as a child and later in life I found rock climbing as an adult. So, when in 2022 I stumbled upon and got fascinated by the art of tree surgery I soon realised this was going to be my next challenge. After passing my tree surgery qualifications (listed below) in January 2023 I enlisted Luke to join my team. Whether you're in need of a full tree removal, a small pruning job or some hedge trimming, we do our best to leave every customer with a smile.
