A van, a love of the outdoors, and nineteen years of craft.
I always knew I wasn't destined for a desk. From a young age I was just happier working outside. I loved the practical challenges of construction, and the satisfaction of seeing a tangible result at the end of a day's labour.
After studying horticulture, I knew the direction I wanted to go. So in 2006 I bought myself a van and started Bricks & Roses. For a while it was just me and that van. Then it was me and a man and a van. And things continued to grow from there.
Today we're a tight-knit team of skilled landscapers, builders and designers — but the philosophy hasn't changed. We're big enough to manage complex multi-level transformations, and small enough that I'm still personally involved in every project. I often have clients tell me our team are the most delightful tradesmen they've ever worked with. That, I think, says it all.
