Nick Milne Garden Services is a successful gardening business that I have been running since August 2001. The business is mainly concerned with the ongoing maintenance of gardens of regular, private customers but it also takes on small, garden-based construction projects.  I have spent many years getting together a client base with whom I have good, mutually-trusting relationships.

This business covers all aspects of garden maintenance, including improvement of existing mature gardens, the growth of vegetables and fruit and the initial, thoughtful planting of plants that best suit the environment and, of course, customer choice. 

The business currently has one employee, Carl Anderson. I have had other part-time and full-time members of staff and occasionally use sub-contractors for larger projects.  I have passed Health and Safety assessments by the Berkshire College of Agriculture and can carry out risk assessments as well as being familiar with Health and Safety legislation.

The most important aspect of my business is my relationship with the clients.  My own education and experience, as well as a continued interest in horticulture, allows me to communicate ideas and information.  I am aware of the environmental factors that affect planting schedules and types of plants that suit various conditions.  Through long-lasting, continued relationships with my clients I have not only proved my worth in their gardens but I have also built up trusts in often vulnerable people.
