Marcus Richardson from Ed’s Garden Maintenance has recently had an interesting project.
The customer claimed to have little gardening skills but loved spending time in the garden. The brief was to come up with ideas to give the front and back garden a modern makeover, with a natural look to compliment the surrounding plantation and to create a garden with symmetrical clean lines and that requires little maintenance.
Marcus decided for the front garden to lay new turf, create a brick edging and add some gravel and shrubs. The back garden was more of a challenge as it was very steep and needed to be terraced. Marcus started by rebuilding the steps, installing a deck on the top tier and laying turf. The next step was to remove the shed and build a brick BBQ, South African style to retain the privacy that was provided by the shed. The decking was expanded to tie in with the rest of the garden and over the next few months Marcus will plant more shrubs to give a more secluded feel.
The customer said “I have been delighted with the result and I am looking forward to spending more time in the garden next summer.”
Marcus Richardson runs his own Ed’s Garden Maintenance business in the Wokingham area. If you are interested in your garden having a makeover please contact Ed’s.

A former Recruitment Executive has swapped his central London desk for the gardens of Bristol and opened his Garden Maintenance Business in the Frenchay area of the city.
Paul Brunton, 34, moved to Bristol in February of this year after five years working in central London. He started his new business, Ed’s Garden Maintenance, on 1st August and he has quickly become established in and around his local area.
Paul said::
“Moving to Bristol was very much a lifestyle choice. I worked in gardening many years ago and was keen to return to this sort of work, to leave the desk job behind and get back to working outdoors.
“After working as a Recruitment Executive in central London for five years, I wanted to get away from the rising house prices and the high cost of living in the capital. As we have family connections in Bristol, moving to the South West was the obvious choice.
“Since starting my business at the beginning of August, I’ve had a lot of repeat business and have already gained a number of regular customers, which is fantastic. I’m really enjoying meeting people and working in and around my local community. It’s certainly a world away from my previous job!”
For Ed’s Garden Maintenance, summer 2011 has been a time of rapid expansion with seven new franchisees joining the team since the beginning of June, bringing the total into the twenties.
The seven new Garden Business Operators further establish Ed’s Garden Maintenance within the South East of England, with the new businesses setting up in Chobham, Epsom, North London, Balham, Wokingham and Bracknell. Another franchise recently opened in the Bristol area, giving the firm an increased presence in the South West.
Ed’s Garden Maintenance was set up in 2007 and its highly successful business model has ensured steady growth over the past five years. In a short space of time, it has become one of the main Garden Maintenance businesses in the UK.
Business owner Edward Mauleverer said:
“It’s very exciting to see so many new Operators join us in just a few months. We are now a major presence in the South East and are delighted that we are becoming more established around South West England, too. Having now demonstrated that we can support our franchisees further away from head office, we are now looking to expand our coverage across the UK.
“We pride ourselves in providing a prompt, reliable and efficient garden maintenance service, and we’re always looking for friendly, professional, motivated people to become part of our team.”
Ed’s Garden Maintenance will be at Stand H70 at the National Franchise Show at the NEC in Birmingham on 30 September 30th and 1st October.
Marcus Richardson
has started his training with a view to starting his Eds Garden Maintenance Business at the beginning of August.
Having already completed the initial induction covering subjects such as the importance of customer service and delivering a professional service he has now been learning the tips and tricks to deliver excellent results in the garden from mowing the lawn (including strimming the edges) to cutting and trimming hedges.
“I thought I knew quite a lot about mowing lawns and cutting hedges but now I have professional equipment the results are really quote impressive. I’ve surprised myself!”
As it happens, while perfecting the techniques, he received two calls from customers wanting gardening services in his area and has already gained some regular work mowing lawns while the customer is on holiday.
