Company
I’m Neil Petchey and I’ve been working in the gardening and landscaping industry for over 20 years. I’ve had a passion and love for landscaping and gardening since I can remember. After taking that passion and turning it into NVQ and Royal Horticultural Society qualifications, I decided to start my own gardening business. That was over 10 years ago and I’ve never looked back.
I love working with my clients, helping them to transform and maintain their gardens and enjoy all that a beautiful outdoor space has to offer. I work throughout the Essex and London areas, offering professional gardening services to a wide variety of clients. Whether you require help with an overgrown garden, need weekly or seasonal garden maintenance or you have a big landscaping project in your sights, I’ll work closely with you to get the job down on time, to the highest standard and for an affordable price.
Over the years, I have continued to add more services to my already long list. It means you get access to all the services you need under one roof, including gardening, decking, fencing, turfing, artificial grass installation, brickwork, lawn treatments, pressure washing, planting and even electrics. So, if you’ve been thinking about that new summerhouse, a hot tub enclosure, pet-friendly artificial grass, outdoor lighting, a new boundary wall or a beautiful decked area, we’re the company to call!
