    What made you want to run a gardening business?

    i learnt from my Gran many years ago now ive become a fully qualified Arborist with cherry picker licences, ive studied for many years and am insured to do fence repairs aswell, i like designing using wood like vegetable planters so you can grow your own vegetables

    What would you tell someone before they hire any gardener?

    make sure there insured and have qualifications , they know land and they know Trees, plants, also they know what feed they need for plants and what dangers to look for in the Garden

    What kind of job do you most look forward to, and why?

    Tree surgery going in the air and planting new shrubs , getting a used garden back into its glory days , putting water systems in so that the roots are strong as we are having hot spells and the soils and shrubs are dieing from lack of water

    Which garden are you proudest of?

    i have worked on plenty of gardens , i would say the best 1 would be in painswick as had to take out 15 tall Trees and hedges had to be taken out so new fences could be put on , this garden was authorised by stroud council as had to do all the paperwork, photos, diagnose problems on the land and battle with all the problems which would arise.

    What do gardens round your way need that people tend to get wrong?

    get rid of ivy as kills Trees, make sure there is no land slide from pockets in the ground, bind weed is a major problem in stroud , fences that are rotten need replacing, Trees need checking regularly as Ash Die back is major problem also Bracket fungus and Honey Fungus in Trees is a problem

    What do you drive for work, and what made you choose it?

    i have a Tipper van so i can get rid of the garden waste as i have Green waste facility licence making sure that it is disposed of correctly

    Is there a bit of kit you would not be without?

    Harness , Big saws, Ropes, pruning saws, extendable pruners, extendable silky saw
