Our history
How a firm this small stayed this small
Twelve years of gardens, and the two or three decisions that shaped every one of them.

Twelve years, in seven moments
Not a growth story. Most of what follows is a decision to stay a particular size, and the reasons for it.
2014
One van, two clients
Kojo Amankwah leaves an estate groundskeeping job in Aburi, buys a second-hand pickup and a mower, and takes on two gardens in Airport Residential. Both are still on the round twelve years later.
2016
The first round
Enough gardens in one neighbourhood to run a fixed weekly route rather than driving across Accra between jobs. It is the decision the whole firm is built on: a round is what makes the same two gardeners on the same garden possible.
2017
Afia joins, and the diary stops being a notebook
Afia Boateng takes over scheduling. Missed visits go from about one in twenty to about one in three hundred, which is roughly when clients started recommending us to each other.
2019
The yard and the nursery
A leased yard in Spintex with a propagation bench, so planting schemes stop depending on whatever the wholesalers happen to have. Nii Ayitey comes across to run it.
2021
Herbicides out
We stop using residual weedkillers entirely, on every garden. It costs us more in hand-weeding than we expected and we have never once regretted it.
2023
The schools
Two school contracts, and a lesson: two hundred children on a lawn is a different maintenance problem to two adults and a dog. Carpet grass, higher cut, and everything done before the gates open.
2026
Four hundred gardens, four people
Deliberately still four people and two vans. Growing past that means subcontracting, and subcontracting means we can no longer promise you the same two gardeners — which is the only promise on this site that matters.
In his own words
“A garden is a relationship”
“I spent nine years on estates where the gardener changed every few months. Nobody knew which shrub had been moved, or why the far corner never took. You cannot keep a garden you are meeting for the first time.”
“So we built the firm around the round rather than around the job. It caps how big we can get. It is also the only reason our gardens look the way they do in year five.”
Kojo Amankwah, founder and head gardener

Trained gardeners
Every gardener on our books has been through a two-season apprenticeship before working unsupervised on your grounds.
Eco-friendly tools
Battery machines, mulched clippings and no residual herbicides — the garden should be safe to walk on the same afternoon.
Support that answers
One number, one person on it, and a reply the same working day. Nobody here has ever said they will look into it.
Transform your garden with experts
Tell us what the garden needs and when you would like us. We will walk it with you, quote in writing, and start on the day we said.
