Graduate Gardeners Ltd -
Many well known Garden Designers and Landscape Architects have commissioned Graduate Gardeners to build their landscape and garden designs. We have developed these relationships and due to the consistent quality of our work, and the size of job that we can cope with, many use us as their default landscaper in the Cotswolds.
One of our highly experienced contract managers will take on your project and will be your single point of contact throughout. They will be able to quote against your bill of quantities, or help you draw one up, if necessary, and discuss contruction methods and materials selection in order to find the optimum method to deliver your project, in the timescale and to the very high standard that you would expect.
Although, potentially a stressful time for the client, we aim to minimise disruption and make the construction phase a pleasurable experience that every customer will recommend to others. Our staff will at all times be professional, wearing Company uniform and driving Vehicles displaying the Company livery.

He graduated with distinction and rejoined Graduate Gardeners 25 years ago, working out on site gaining valuable experience building gardens. Mark quickly rose to the position of Foreman and ran many large and complicated jobs, before moving into the design office.
Ian studied Horticulture and Landscaping at Myerscough College, graduating with distinction. He joined Graduate Gardeners for his middle year and then rejoined after graduating. Having already had some site experience, he quickly became a site foreman and ran many varied projects over ten years including Chelsea Flower Show Gardens.
Ian rejoined Graduate Gardeners as a designer and contracts manager in 2011 and has brought all the skills and experience gained from his other ventures into the design room.
When not helping his wife keep their two young children in order, Ian is to be found on the river bank, casting a fly, and hopefully catching one or two for the pot.
At Graduate Gardeners we are committed to providing outstanding quality of service at every stage of the gardening process. From initial design conception through to creation, we provide a fully integrated service designed to make your life as simple as is possible.

We are also interested in young people with a passion for horticulture and working outdoors, who wish to make a career in landscaping. Our policy is to never let anyone pass the door without at least having a chat.
