"Green City Landscapes has worked with some very famous clients. When did you get to that level?".

"Well initially it was by trial and error! I had started becoming interested with landscape gardening when i built a pond and bridge in my parents garden. It was during this initial project that i realised i loved being creative and building something from scratch. As time went by the mistakes became less and the creativty increased. I'd say it was probably about 3 years after starting Green City Landscapes that a more recognised client base became open to me".

"Can you tell us all which celebrities you've worked with or for?".

"Yes sure. Firstly i would like to say how genuinely lucky i've been. Hard works is obviously the key, as well as talent, but you need a break here or there to get to the next level. My break came through night clubs which i was involved in, namely the promotional side. From there my contact list grew and over the years i've worked for the singer and song writer Gary Barlow at his house, actor Danny Dyer, Rosie Nixon who's the Chief Editor for Hello magazine, Sally Phillips the actress, Ronnie Woods from the Rolling Stones, the actress Anthea Turner and also Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas's home in Bermuda".

"What is the most important thing when working with a company or someone who is so famous?".

"All clients are as important as each other. My work ethic is based on creativity, an understanding of the client's needs and the ability to deliver, time and again. Obviously with financially independant clients you can make designs slightly more extravagant and that is always an advantage. But generally speaking, the core values of Green City Landscapes are always the same. Deliver exactly what the client wants and more".

"What is the best project you have worked on during your whole career and why?"

"So many to choose from over almost 30 years! I'd have so say Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas's place in Bermuda. Not only was the location out of this world but the design and whole experience was one of those ones, you look back on ask, did i really do that?!".

"Back in the say did you study landscaping and if so where?".

"I initially studied at Writtle Agricultural College and later at Southend Polytechnic and i got two diplimas, one in garden design and one in graphic design. It was the initial formation that i really needed and i'ver never looked back".

"You offer a wide range of professional services. Which ones excite you the most?".

"Water features, without question! Over 70% of the earth is water and the body is pretty much the same ratio. It's something we seem to take for granted but working with water is incredible and it adds a totally new dimension to any garden. The possibilities are limitless and of all the services we provide, it's the water features that gets my creativity flowing more than most".

"What are the most important areas of landscaping that your clients need to be aware of?".

"Without question. An expert. In any walk of life you need people who know what they're talking about and can deliver on their promises. Over the years i've been fortunate enough to help a wide range of clients with their needs and my advice is always the same. Choose someone for any job that has a solid reputation and the same vision as you. If you're not passionate about it, there's no point. Creativity stems from passion and experience".
