From Trowel To Trees Construction and landscaping company. Doreen:
In 2002, I started my career in the construction industry labouring for a landscape company based in Ashford.

After two years of learning great skills, I started a joint business venture which lasted 17 years. During those years, I learnt many skills which allowed me to become a multi trader. After this successful venture, I wanted to evolve my skills into the management side of this industry which was in both commercial and domestic sectors of construction. The 6 years allowed me to develop new skills such as managing large projects and enhance my interpersonal skills, as well as attaining qualifications alongside the role. In 2022, starting From Trowel to Trees Ltd has been one of my best achievements. My business offers top quality landscaping and construction services, which include project management. I enjoy meeting new people and turning their dream into reality. Jon:
I started my career in the construction industry back in 2002, starting at the bottom of the ladder labouring for a landscape company based in Challock, Ashford, after two years learning some great skills i decided to start a new business venture with my at the time, current contracts manager, this partnerships lasted 17+ years before deciding to try my way in the world of management, during my years on the tools, i learnt many skills which allowed me to confirm myself as a multi trader. After the above period i decided to move into management or director roles for 6 years, this was within the commercial and domestic construction sectors. This period allowed me to secure new skills and qualifications along with learning how to manage large projects and improve man management skills. In 2022 i made a great decision to start `From trowel to trees ltd’ and offer high end landscaping and construction services, also including project management on projects clients would like me to be involved with. I enjoy meeting new people and more than anything bringing peoples expectations a reality!!

Our Most recent driveway in Lydden, Dover.

This project has been completed over multiple phases due to the scale of the project. A huge amount of excavation works a few years ago was our first appointment, more recently we completed the groundwork’s phase, service trench’s etc.

Then we returned to install 2 new brick walls to cover up a few minor visual imperfections then swiftly onto installing the boundary charcoal sett edgings with a 3 band approx to finish off the area.
After installing the setts a further 12ton of MOT to complete our calibration to within 25mm of sett edgings. To finish we installed a very nice 10-12mm Silver grey granite chipping.
After a thin layer and compaction the drive just looks so clean and tidy!!

Another solid job and happy client. Well done FTTT team👏🤛💪🏻

Our most recent kitchen refurbishment project in Folkestone.

Really enjoyed working with this client, very interesting and kind person but more importantly wanted to restore faith in the industry when others have either completed or provided poor workmanship or just not turned up.

This project evolved somewhat after my client understood and trusted my company and what services it could offer, this resulted in us staying to complete as she wanted and to her design. Really loved the use of old and new but didn’t love so much having to overcome previous contractors work which had been paid for unfortunately!!

Outcome was great and another happy client!

Two natural Rag stone boulder retaining wall/rockery front bank garden renovations completed on the same street.

Really enjoyed both of these projects. Having the opportunity to show how good local stone can be used in its natural form. Carefully placed and set to create a natural environment for plants and wildlife to flourish on the waters edge.

Both jobs slightly different in style, one having existing steps refurbished and levelled, the other hand crafted using what we had straight from the quarry.

Cannot wait to see how these look in 6-12 months after the planting schemes are finished and established. (Both clients in charge of this)

Great work FTT team🤝👋

Recently completed fencing project completed.

After a tough garden clearance a month or so ago we were back to install a new boundary fence.

A few challenging tree roots along the way but nothing we could not handle.

Recently completed exterior sleeper staircase, Temple Ewell, Dover.

Full removal of two unsafe examples with the re-installation of a new sleeper version.

Picked a hot week to get this completed but completed on time!!
Another very happy customer who can now safely access the highest area of the garden without falling over.

Simple but very effective solution to create safe access for any age person.

Well done FTTT team🤛💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
