About Us

For nearly four decades, Kingston Landscape Group has become one of the leading landscape contractors in London. Founded in 1986 by Steve Evans as Kingston Garden Services, the journey began when he won £1,000 in a local lottery. He invested this money in the “Enterprise Allowance Scheme” under the Thatcher Government to launch his landscaping venture.

With Steve and his wife Abi still actively leading the company, we now proudly employ nearly 100 local individuals and operate from three locations, including our main office in Egham, Surrey, and two plant nurseries in Twickenham and Ottershaw.

Throughout our rich history, we have consistently focused on our mission: to create beautiful gardens.

We take immense pride in owning and operating two plant nurseries, where we grow around 80% of our inventory at our Ottershaw location. Our dedicated transportation fleet and use of cutting-edge equipment further distinguish us from our competitors.

We have the expertise, resources, and experience necessary to handle projects of all sizes. From start to finish, you will work with the same dedicated team, ensuring your project is executed to the highest standards, regardless of budget or scale. Additionally, we are fully accredited by the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) and the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL).

Ben Currie

Domestic Contracts Manager

Ben brings over 25 years of experience in horticulture and landscaping, having handled a diverse array of projects ranging from large-scale commercial ventures to small residential gardens. His extensive knowledge of the industry has enabled him to climb the ranks, beginning as a labourer, moving up to foreman, and eventually becoming a Senior Foreman. He later founded his own successful landscaping business before deciding to return to a large contractor as a Contracts Manager, where he swiftly rose to the position of Senior Contracts Manager. Kingston Landscape Group is thrilled to have Ben as our Domestic Contracts Manager, and we are confident that his rich experience will greatly enhance the growth of our domestic division. Outside of his professional life, Ben is a father of four who loves spending weekends outdoors and devotes much of his personal time to coaching football.

Vicky Colbourne

Landscape Design Specialist / RHS Qualified Horticulturalist

Vicky embarked on her journey with KLG at The Otter Nursery, initially as one of our customers. For nearly 20 years, she successfully ran her own small business as a gardener and garden designer, serving small to medium-sized clients. As a qualified horticulturist and a self-proclaimed plant enthusiast, she frequently engaged with customers in the nursery, providing planting advice. It was only natural for us to offer her a position. Now, over three years later, Vicky is a highly valued member of our team, serving as our in-house designer and horticulturist largely focused on our residential clients. Her expertise and knowledge enable us to deliver a comprehensive service with a personal and hands-on approach.  Outside of her professional life , Vicky enjoys spending her weekends outdoors, hiking and canoeing with her husband and spending time with her children and, of course, tending to her garden
