About Landscape Associates

Landscape Associates was formed in 2001, by its Managing Director Richard Curle. Richard created Landscape Associates after completing his Higher National Diploma in Horticulture and Landscape Construction. This work placement and his studies gave him the motivation to create Landscape Associates.

It was in 2005 that Landscape Associates became a Limited Company based in Teddington, London. Due to substantial growth, the business required further office space and storage and in 2016 Landscape Associates re-located to their current head office in Chertsey, Surrey.

Today the business consists of 24 members of staff, covering all aspects of Landscape Construction and Garden Aftercare. Their quality of work is highlighted by the industry acclaim, receiving numerous awards, including British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) awards, The Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) awards and Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Gold Medals at both the Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows.

Building gardens really excites Landscape Associates, this was how the company was initially founded and since then they have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience. Their portfolio of projects includes small intricate roof terraces in London to large country estates in the home counties and everything in between.

Landscape Associates’ experience of building gardens allows them to offer complete management on large and technically challenging bespoke schemes where multiple specialist sub-contractors are required. Liaising closely with others (artisans/contractors), they have a proven track record of successfully delivering schemes with pools, tennis courts, glass, steel and timber structures, as well as bespoke water features, fire pits, lighting and irrigation systems.

Their level of expertise allows them to bring together these items seamlessly providing their clients and designers with a hassle-free single point responsibility and above all, a high-end delivery with outstanding attention to detail.

At Landscape Associates, we understand a garden is never finished, or complete. Landscape Associates and our experienced, skilled horticulturists, consider ourselves as ongoing stewards, there to uphold the design integrity and unique character of each garden and to facilitate their development as they establish. This is implemented through a conscientious, considerate approach to tending and caring for each garden and underpinned by executing correct horticultural practice and excellence, always with high attention to detail.

We understand each garden is individual, with distinctive features, style and personality and are acutely appreciative of our clients’ and designers’ aims and visions of the garden, too. Our horticulturalists are always sympathetic and understanding of this and continuously apply the greatest level of care as they work alongside our clients and designers to fulfil the garden’s intentions and attain their vision. It is our holistic, sensitive, supportive approach to garden aftercare and development that enables Landscape Associates to nurture each garden’s potential and support our clients as they build lasting relationships with their beautiful, extraordinary green spaces.

Landscape Associates and our horticulturalists nurture each garden harmoniously and in accordance with the ebb and flow of nature, the seasons and environment to safeguard the garden’s health and ensure they aren’t just established and maintained, but are established, thrivie and evolve. As such, tasks are dictated by the weather conditions and its effect on the garden’s performance and therefore may vary each-to-visit and year-to-year. However, the garden will always be kept looking at its best.

This mentality is ubiquitous to our Garden Aftercare and Development Programme and carried through the materials, products, tools and practices we use, and why. It is our skilled horticulturalists’ careful consideration of their appropriateness, relative to each garden’s individual and specific needs, as well as our clients’ and designers’ intentions, that enables them to exercise the art and craft of gardening, implement horticultural excellence and attain the best quality and standards of work. Consequently Landscape Associates proudly presents a unique, tailored service that is established on horticultural integrity.
