Testimonial :
After spending almost 20 years at a large national grounds maintenance company, I was cautious before joining West County Landscapes; Would there be enough work to keep me employed for the full year? Would I fit into a smaller family run business?
Almost 3 years on I can honestly say its one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and my doubts were unnecessary. I have learned so much from Andrew the Company Director, his decades of experience within the industry are invaluable. The work is sometimes physically challenging, the working day can be longer in peak season and weather conditions aren’t always great but these are all things to be expecting when working in horticulture.
The whole team come from a variety of different backgrounds bringing there own skillset, everyone is friendly, welcoming and hardworking. Even though we can have teams working separately we all keep in touch throughout the day helping each other out when needed. Its great to be part of such an ambitious and motivated team.
I enjoy the variety of work, getting to know new people, learning from my colleagues and passing on my own knowledge to them, I feel appreciated for my hard work and the skills I bring, these are just some of the reasons I enjoy working at West County Landscapes.
