About Us

How our business grew into the premium garden design and maintenance company you see today

Our story began back in 2010 when Daniel Powell decided to create his own business.

Dan used his qualification in Garden Design and Management he gained in 1997 and 10+ years of experience in the horticultural industry as the foundation to our success.

And as the business blossomed, we acquired our talented team of horticulturalist and landscapers while investing in apprenticeship schemes.

Our gardening and horticultural team have broad, unrivalled experience. We’re fully qualified in horticulture, meaning we have the expertise and plant knowledge to help ensure your garden looks beautiful, come rain or shine.

Over the years, we’ve developed a reputation for being reliable, friendly and professional. But above all, we’re renowned for our extremely high standard of gardening and horticultural work.

It’s for these reasons we’ve been fortunate enough to continue expanding into new areas, with a portfolio of clients in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.

Testimonials

The words that matter the most to us

My back garden has recently been landscaped by the Instant Scenery team and I am delighted with the result. Dan and his team were helpful throughout the landscaping, from the design, to making suggestions as the garden progressed and the final finishing touches. My new space is not only lovely to look at but it’s now much easier to care for and has given me a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy.

Dan, Jack and the team at Instant Scenery were a pleasure to deal with and did a great job for us. They cleared a large border area and removed a massive pampas grass before planting up 100 Laurel hedge plants. They turned up on time and worked hard to get the work completed in a day, leaving everything very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend!

Paul T

Dan and his team are very professional, friendly and hard working. They have done an amazing job in transforming my overgrown garden and I look forward to watching it mature. I am delighted with the results. Instant Scenery is a great Company to work with and always willing to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend them – you won’t be disappointed. I look forward to Instant Scenery maintaining the garden going forward.

I live on a farm where fly tipping is a huge problem. People were coming to a layby and dumping huge amounts of rubbish which was blocking my gate. The guys came and installed a covert camera and we left it there for ten days. The rubbish continued to be dumped. 7 Operations came and retrieved the camera and sent me the footage and a report which included all the number plates of the vehicles. That has helped me prosecute and I haven’t had to clear up any rubbish since! Thank you so much.

The team at 7 Operations conducted some surveillance for me. The report I quickly received proved everything I had suspected. At the time it seemed like the worst possible outcome however looking back I wish I had taken action much sooner. The worst part was constantly wondering what my ex-husband was doing when I wasn’t with him. The guys at 7 Operations were so friendly and were completely professional from start to finish and I’d like to thank them for giving me the closure I needed so desperately.

Extremely professional and discrete. The service I received exceeded all expectations and remained confidential throughout. I got the results I expected and was grateful for the peace of mind. Thank you very much!

BG, Ringwood

7 Operations completed some surveillance for me on an employee who was claiming he was injured at work. They quickly provided me with the footage and evidence I needed to prove that my employee was not injured at all.
