We are RHS and APL award winners, love what we do and are looking to expand on our team of caring, passionate gardeners and landscapers by helping the world (or mainly Surrey and Sussex) by looking for a skilled landscaper to join us.
We are a highly driven and expanding company, dedicated to very high levels of customer service and looking for a skilled landscaper to help build and develop our gardens. We want someone who cares about landscapes, gardens and plants. Someone who loves getting their hands dirty and who wants to help build and plant amazing gardens in and around our base in Cranleigh. That doesn’t mind when it rains, that is as happy digging trench as they are erecting some Cedar batten or planting an Acer.
Fancy it, think you can help build our next award-winning garden?
