Specialist Gardening Services in Devon and Somerset

Hi there, and thank you for visiting my website.

I am an education and horticultural expert specialising in formative and creative tree and shrub pruning, garden renovation & restoration, and horticultural consultancy. Based in East Devon – where I live with my wife and eleven year old son – I combine my passion of plants, gardens and people with specialist gardening services across the South West; which includes seasonal pruning, feeding and composting and the construction of specialist raised beds. Please feel free to make contact regarding your horticultural and gardening projects.
