Hi, I’m Jack and I recently set up Carmichael Gardening, a
company that provides gardening services to households in Surrey. I have also
set up this blog post to accompany Carmichael Gardening, to let me write up
about jobs I am doing. I will also be writing guides for things to do in the
garden, as well as tips on general garden maintenance.
In this introduction post I thought I’d write a little about
myself, and also the inception of Carmichael Gardening. I’m 20 and have lived
in Surrey my whole life, and have helped in my parent’s garden since an early
age. As we have a fairly large garden at home with quite a large lawn, I was
always needed to help mowing the lawn and weeding the flower beds. Although a
little resistant at first to help with these fairly tedious tasks, my parent’s
passion for gardening infected me, and I grew to love being outside and helping
in the garden. Every year I would look forward to the annual pruning of our
apple tree, as I was the only one in the family who could climb up it and cut
the highest branches. By the age of 15, I started helping my neighbour in his
garden by helping him cut his lawn.
This was my first foray into the world of being a local
gardener, and from there I started working for several other residents of my street.
I also picked up work from friends of my parents, and by 2013 I had a
collection of repeat customers who I helped with a range of gardening tasks.
Mostly the tasks involved lawn mowing, weeding and hedge cutting, and the
largest to date has been helping in the construction of a small outbuilding
that now contains a Jacuzzi.
After the large quantity of work I undertook in the summer
of 2013, I decided to set up Carmichael Gardening. This was to provide
professionality to my already high quality of work, and also allow me to
advertise easier and buy insurance. I
also set up a website (www.carmichaelgardening.co.uk) something I’ve never done
before, which (despite minor nerves) I really enjoyed.
The final step of setting up Carmichael Gardening is what
you’re reading right now!
