About

We offer a friendly service for home gardens and commercial properties. Our work includes, garden design and build, landscaping work, tree surgery along with the full range of garden maintenance tasks.

Our core values are service, integrity and reliability, along with a desire to share a love of nature and beauty.

We use ecological gardening methods; these include organic gardening, composting and other practices which minimise work, whilst encouraging sustainability, wildlife habitats and biodiversity. As part of our ecological responsibility, our red line is to never use chemicals including pesticides and herbicides in our work. From 2022 we are excited to be making the transition to cordless electric power tools.

Prunus is the latin name (in this case: genus) of flowering trees, which include cherry, plum, peaches, nectarines and almonds. For us, Prunus bridges the gardening, garden design and tree work aspects of our business.

A cherry blossom in full bloom is one of the most stunningly beautiful and evocative delights in the cultivated garden and we wish to share the pleasure and love we can all derive from the synthesis of natural beauty and human ingenuity.
