About

Good Afternoon,
I'm very interested in the position being advertised. I have many years experience in Horticulture/maintenance and landscape building skills and believe I could be a great asset to the role.
Happy to work on a self employed or employed basis also.
Alongside an extensive plant knowledge gained over the years,
I also have a vast knowledge and use of all forms of power tools/machinery associated with gardening and landscaping including , (Chainsaws/strimmers/hedge cutters/ride on mowers/mini tractors with PTO attached equipment/Drills/Grinders/Disc cutters/Chop saw etc.
I also own a number of power tools as in more recent years I've been working as a self employed Landscaper.
I'm now looking to move back into a more Horticulture/maintenance based role alongside making any necessary improvements/expansion of grounds.
I am capable of working under my own initiative as well as part of a team.
I consistently strive to maintain high standards and take pride in this and can show evidence of this in pictures from over the years.
I have a friendly confident disposition and work well with others.
I appreciate how hours of work can change with the seasons. I would ideally prefer a Monday-Thursday role but I am open to various hrs that would suit.
I would very much appriciate the chance of an interview to discuss further. Best Wishes , John 🙂
