Our Story

 

Ken White

We offer a unique approach to construction; providing personal management of the entire construction process, closely working with the appointed designer, assisting in site surveys, logistical appraisals and full construction with our in-house hard and soft landscaping teams. 

What we do

Gardenlink is an award-winning landscape construction business which specialises in working directly with garden designers and landscape architects to turn their creative vision into a high-qualit,y fully planted and landscaped garden. We leave the design of a garden to the expertise of the designers, but many of our clients take advantage of our complimentary pre-design feasibility advice service, and we are always able to recommend designers who we feel are most likely to match our clients requirements and make their vision a reality. Under the (new) directorship of Ken White, Gardenlink has over 20 years of experience working with many of the UK’s leading garden designers and is the winner of three RHS Chelsea gold medals. Once created, the garden can then be expertly maintained by our Maintenance Division to ensure it always looks its best.

Our Ethos

Gardenlink works hand-in-hand with designers to provide in-house skilled operatives to carry out works from earthworks to all aspects of construction. Trained horticulturists then plant the garden, and thereafter most of our clients take advantage of the option to take out a maintenance contract allowing the gardens to fulfil their full potential.
