We like an accreditation over here! The Association of Professional Landscapers vetting is considered so rigorous, that membership comes with the Trustmark endorsement too 😀 If you need a landscaper or fencer in Canterbury or Thanet districts feel free to get in touch 📞
Overgrown and awkward garden in Canterbury bulldozed and set into zones for kids, dog, and lawn as per client's request. Portuguese Laurels planted inside and out as hedging, new lawn over 60/40 rootzone plus a spot of wildflower turf for interest in the dog's corner. More planting to follow next year.
Battled the weather to complete a pair of timber walkways spanning a dyke and a culvert at Gazen Salts Nature Reserve. Massive thanks to all involved.
Great first day on the nature reserve loading out and zoning off work sites. 400m of tricky access was a great excuse to bring the quad out 🤠 Looking forward to getting stuck into this one. @sedroc135 Timber @eastkenttimber Dig out package @westgateplanthire Portaloo @mrwesso 👏🏽

Some recent gallery fodder... Bespoke louvred pergola, revisited a driveway from last year, fencing galore and a few old bangers.
The Honda Foreman 450 is a great tool for pulling chippers through orchards, parks, woodlands, and nature reserves. It can also be utilised on farms, smallholdings, and remote areas for carting tools and materials on fencing, landscaping, and small civils works. But let's be honest - it's the closest thing to fun you can have while hard at work! Starting at £100+VAT per day, get in touch if you'd like to try it out.
Huge thanks for all the support and custom we've received this year - July not quite over and the order book is now closed for 2024. We're now taking bookings for January onwards and not short on projects to survey. What a contrast from last September where I asked for your help to find work during the quietest spell since starting in 2012. Thank you all once again. Have a great summer! ☀️ Bill
Low maintenance, high impact. Portuguese laurels, Lavenders, steel edgings, pergola, and @jacksonsfencing Venetian screening on a new development in Deal. Earned an invite to the client's primary residence inside the M25 to fit more Jacksons gates and fencing 🙏🏽 Will have to dust off the fake French plates for a little game of ULEZ chess♟️
After recently reinstating the work of tentative namesake William Masters, Canterbury born botanist and garden designer (left), it was good to bump into the real deal namesake Wilhelm Cordes in Hamburg. Like Masters, Cordes was no stranger to "Landschaftsgärtnerei" and is responsible for the Ohlsdorf Cemetery Park - highly impressive and the largest of its kind in the world. 🇩🇪 🌳 🇬🇧
Afters and befores of a brace of @jacksonsfencing courtyard gates restoring the grand entrance to this classy property in the countryside. Hung from Sapele-clad RSJs, and brick piers, no matter the application, we will find a solution. Thank you to my suppliers East Kent Timber Ltd and Jacksons Fencing and to @sedroc135 for bringing that touch of class to the installation.
Privileged to be back at Walmer Castle for Phase 2 with our @the_excavator_forklift and a digger dumper package from @westgateplanthire

A little job from 7 years ago with Chaz at @crccoastal Concrete pads for a 2 post lift at @kent_tuning I was so paranoid they would fail we dug 6 or 7 times deeper than the recommended spec and flared the bottom of the holes. Dug and knocked up by hand over an evening; the proof was in the pudding as thousands of cars have been safely worked on since 👊🏽 I loved that old Passat estate 🥲
APL inspection passed 🤙 Landscaping is an industry with little to no regulation, so choosing an APL member to build your garden is a sensible move. As part of our membership, we have site inspections to assess workmanship, health and safety, staff welfare, etc. Behind the scenes, we are vetted for quoting transparency, company accounts, and a wealth of policies and procedures to ensure we provide a professional, sustainable, and compliant service. If you require a professional landscaping company for your garden, driveway, or fence, look no further than your local @apl_news member ⭐️
Four of us got together after a day's work to pull the chipper apart and get it running again. Nothing beats the camaraderie between men when there's machinery and problem solving involved. This is the example of what a man was when I was growing up, and what I hope to be for my sons too. Hands on, and gets shit done. We're heading into a world where machines are untameable and boys are becoming lazy. Today was like being back in simpler times when men were still practical and knew no other way than to work hard. Thanks for a great day lads. Long live the past!
William Masters was a nurseryman, garden designer and botanist born in Canterbury in 1796. Very excited to be restoring some of his work from the 1860s next month at a very well known English Heritage location in Kent 🏰🌿 #hortusduroverni
