Office at Hare Hatch
David Reed starting up his own company calling it Reeds Landscapes and Building Services.
He had soon built a fine reputation by his customers for completing wonderful projects in their homes and gardens. He realised that he will need to start taking on new members of the team to further expand the business and to gain more customers.
Reed’s Landscapes has now been running as a successful business for 8 years and built up a substantial customer base with plenty of word of mouth referrals. Becoming a member of Checkatrade and The Directory of Excellence, has continued to build a successful and reputable business. At this point, Reed’s now employs several members to add to the team and bought a fleet of work vehicles.
As the business expanded, so did the need for new premises to base the growing business from. Somewhere to house the office, somewhere with a yard to keep the tools of the trade and somewhere that customers could visit. We found a very special place to plant the business roots for the good of the local community too as it was set within the grounds of a beautifully scenic manor house.
The year that was Covid-19 for everyone, everywhere. There were challenges to be had by all
Reed’s have managed to continue working through the year due to the majority of our work being carried out outdoors, we were able to keep a safe distance away from our customers without stepping inside their homes
We can’t say it has been easy though, as we have been very reactive this year, supplies being restricted from shipments coming in from overseas, severe delays and incorrect deliveries due to material shortages across the UK, we have dealt with our customer’s expectations and managed to complete all the projects with positive customer reviews.
What will 2021 bring for us all? Home and Garden improvements, we hope
This year Reed’s Landscapes Ltd took the opportunity to build some displays using Trex composite decking to create some areas to view at a popular garden centre in Moss End, Berkshire.
Reed’s have created 3x separate decking areas, which show Trex Island Mist composite decking, Trex Lava Rock composite decking and Trex Spiced Rum composite decking.
Upon these decking areas, Gordon Stone shows off their Outdoor Kitchens, which Reed’s Landscapes Ltd are installers of, as well as Garden Trends gorgeous outdoor furniture, why not take a visit to Moss End Garden Village and see for yourself.
Starting 2023 with arctic temperatures that even the hardiest construction workers find themselves wondering, ‘what am I doing here?’
We at Reed’s are fully committed to providing the same excellent customer service, the same precise workmanship and the same full customer experience to all those old and new, who would like to improve ‘their old for new’. Why not contact Reed’s for a free home site visit, to discuss your ideas for this year home improvement plans. We can provide you with a free estimate to get your project off the ground.
Our Team
David Reed - Owner
My passion for landscaping started when I worked in a garden centre from school. I learnt a great deal about the industry and developed a hard work ethic that I have carried through into my own business.
Realising that this is what I wanted to do, I started up Reed’s Landscapes and Building Services in 2001, as a sole trader, keeping myself busy creating landscapes and building outdoor living areas for local customers.
I have built a reputation for offering a great service at a fair price and I take great satisfaction from returning customers and word of mouth referrals.
More recently employing several people who have themselves joined me from within the industry, Reed’s have gone from a one man band to a great team.
Oliver Gavin (Olly) - Skilled Trainee
Olly has been with Reed’s now for over a year, in this time he has progressed rapidly into a great team player, an asset to the business.
He is a fast learner, keen to improve, which is great news for us. Having come from a similar background, Olly has been able to get stuck in from the start.
We are looking forward to seeing what Olly can achieve in this next year
Charlie Shackleford - Team Leader
Charlie came to Reed’s from a duty manager role at a sports complex, being a rugby player in his spare time. He is well suited to the hard work involved in this trade, working outdoors in all weathers to get the job done. Charlie is keen to progress, learns fast and gets stuck in with the project in hand. We look forward to seeing great things from Charlie as he continues to learn this trade.
This last year, Charlie has taken on a team leader roll, as he has proved himself invaluable to the team, we would like to express our gratitude to all his hard work, it has certainly paid off.
Lorna Jones - Manager
I joined the team back in early 2018 to look after the administration side of the business to enable David to spend more time with his team and be there for his customers.
My role started as both office manager and on site. customers will have seen me frequently, taking before, during and after photos, getting stuck in with some manual labour as well as delivering supplies
More recently taken a management role overseeing the project work, procurements, marketing and sales
Previously from a construction industry background, experienced in office management, facilities, maintenance, customer liaison, sales and photography
Next Previous Testimonials
We're really pleased with the paving, it looks very smart and very well laid, both the brickwork and the slabs. The guys were very pleasant to have around and we were impressed with how they approached the work and kept the site. We've really enjoyed being in the garden all day catching up on jobs and making it look smarter against the paving! We're now thinking about how we're going to re-design the beds! You'll be welcome to come and see it as it develops. Best wishes to you both, Sue and Pete
From the very first meeting I had with David and Lorna, I was very impressed by their professionalism and honesty. They performed a free assessment of the damage to my fence/wall and very quickly provided me with an estimate for all the costs involved. Despite all the difficulties they encountered during the project, their communication and courtesy at every stage of the work was first class. The contrast between my old and new fence is stark and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I would have absolutely no qualms about recommending Reed’s to friends or family and they will definitely be my first port of call for any future work.
I'm very happy with the workmanship, the professionalism and the attitude of the entire team and I'd like you to pass on my thanks and appreciation. I will definitely invite you back for any future projects and happily recommend you to my friends. I'm open to being a positive reference should you want to use me in the future. Thanks & best regards
Thank you very much for a fantastic job recently to install Trex decking to my back garden. This was a very cramped site with several obstacles placed in the way during the installation period all of which were overcome with a cheerful attitude by a professional team. The end result could not be better. Many thanks again
This is now the second time I've used Reeds. They previously changed my fence panels and as I was very happy with the work I asked them to construct a custom built shed down a long, awkward alley at the side of my house. David and his team were excellent from start to finish and I couldn't be happier with both the finished product and professional way in which the handled the job. So much so I've already asked him to quote me for another project!
I highly recommend Reed`s Landscapes for any project, David and his team are creative, dependable, Professional and took care of everything! The project cost was fair and each step completed was done to the highest of standards. The team was on time every day and were great about tidying up. I would not hesitate to use Reed`s Landscapes again and have already referred them to neighbours.
Very pleased with the end result - it has made an enormous difference to our garden. The work was completed within the advised timeframe and for the agreed price Great communication throughout.
David was efficient, polite and worked relentlessly for 3 days. The site was cleaned and tidied to a very high standard indeed and we cannot fault the service and finish that we received. I cannot recommend Reed's Landscapes and Building Services highly enough, we will be using them for further projects! Thanks guys.
