About us
We love gardening!
For more than 20 years, Seasoned Gardeners has provided garden maintenance and tree surgery services, for a wide range of residential and commercial clients. We love what we do, and we’re only satisfied when you are too. Gardening is our passion, and our business.
Danny, founder, began gardening in 1996 working with a professional gardener and mentor Les Moore while also holding a Saturday job at Fulham Palace Garden Centre. He then went on to study Horticulture at Hadlow College. Since then he worked on various agricultural projects before fully focusing on garden maintenance, tree surgery and arboricultural consultancy. He has a full set of tree surgery certificates from Kingswood Training as well as a Level 2 and Level 4 Diploma in Arboriculture from Merrist Wood (is commencing Level 6 at Tree Life), a Professional Tree Inspection certificate and a certificate in BS 5837 both from the Arboricultural Association where he is an accredited member. Danny is currently studying Soil Food Web with renowned soil scientist Professor Elaine Ingham. Other than juggling the above Danny mostly lives vicariously dreaming about living the goodlife, practicing blacksmithing and wood working. (He also needs to update his profile picture hint hint!)
Tara, both practices gardening as a hobby as well as committing to an apprenticeship in Horticulture at Merrist Wood College. She is a highly valued member of the team, is excellent at organising and managing us and all round mother goose. *Currently on Maternity Leave - We miss you Tara, good luck and come back when able!*

Chris, is fully qualified and has been a full time tree surgeon for the past 20 years and has also studied Level 4 Arboriculture Diploma at Merrist Wood College. When not up a tree he can be found tending to his horse, 2 (now 3) ponies, duck (Mr. Mc Fly), cats, dogs, small arboretum and even some adopted squirrels. His speciality is woodlands, their creation and management. He too is studying Soil Food Web with renowned soil scientist Proffesor Elaine Ingham.
Lawrence, before coming to Seasoned Gardeners worked for 15 years for Lord Firle at the Firle estate. He is a power house and key team player. He specialises in vegetable planting and in his free time he loves tinkering and racing his customised truck with questionably large wheels.
James, has not only spent years helping his friends and family improve their garden aesthetic‘s but is also an extremely driven sportsman. Who continues to manage athletes world wide, booking them in for events across the globe. However, he has ditched his running shoes for workmans boots and prefers getting stuck in on the tools.
Zak, when he isn't breaking hearts he is pumping iron before a hard days work! Oh how youth is wasted on the young !!
We have a close relationship with Merrist Wood College, which is effectively Hogwarts for gardeners and arborists, as we all study there, have studied there and also recruit apprentices from them. Passing knowledge and skill to the next generation is key to our future and success. We love to give opportunities to and nurture those looking for that chance, want to work, want to learn and take on new challenges.
Barney, cabin builder, sports car racer, Land Rover enthusiast, Iron Man trainer and ...... top gardener! He likes to fit several sets of squats before and after work and still carries rail way sleepers by himself while laughing at a three man team struggling with just one!
Jordan, gardener by day and trader by night! When he isn't shorting and longing derivatives behind multiple computer screens, he loves nothing more than a spot of gardening to bring him back down to earth (pun intended!).
Matt, 25+ years gardening experience and more to come, nothing he hasn't done garden wise and adds knowledge to complement the team.
Joe, a fine young man, boxer and gentle giant, whom we are molding to be a bright example for his generation.
Brothers Pavel and Galin, can literally tame any jungle in to a civilized and useable garden.
Magic Mirro, provides the muscles and good looks for the team.
Daniel, excellent and in charge of the landscaping and fencing.
