Six people and one drawing board in Pontcanna
Greenford Gardens started in 2012 with a van, a wheelbarrow and a strong opinion about mortar beds. Fourteen years on we are six people working out of a yard in Pontcanna, drawing and building gardens across Cardiff and the Vale.
The opinions you're hiring
-
We dig before we draw
Test holes go in on the first visit. What is under your lawn decides more about the design than any moodboard, and it is a lot cheaper to find out in May than in October.
-
The people who price it are the people who build it
No subcontract chain, so no surprises in the accent on your patio or the figure at the bottom of the invoice.
-
Five years on every plant we put in
If something we planted dies and you have followed the care plan, we replace it. Most losses happen in the first summer, and most of those are ours.
-
The quote is the price
Guide prices sit on the website. Fixed quotes go on paper after the visit. Any contingency is agreed and signed before the digger arrives, not discovered afterwards.
Who turns up in the van
Rhys Meredith
Founder & designer
Sketches everything by hand before it goes anywhere near a screen. Judges a garden by how it looks in February.
Elin Vaughan
Planting lead
Came to us from a nursery and still buys like one. Writes the aftercare plan that keeps the five-year guarantee honest.
Marco Silva
Build foreman
Walls, levels and drainage. Sweeps the site at the end of every day, whether or not anyone is watching.
The build crew
Landscapers × 3
Employed by us, not hired in. The same faces on site from week one through to handover.
Your insurance cover, waste carrier licence and any trade memberships are listed here, with the numbers, on the live site.
Everyone above is named on your quote before anyone sets foot in the garden.
