Stephen Hargreaves

Owner / Landscaper

I was interested in Horticulture from an early age.  In my school holidays I would help neighbours to look after their gardens and was responsible for some of the landscaping which forms the Marina at Fleetwood. I learned to appreciate the varied colours and shapes of plants. To me there was no other option after completing my schooling.

I took the First Diploma Course (General Horticulture) which led onto a BTEC National Diploma in Landscape Practice. I completed this with credit. During this time I worked at a local garden center. Also in 1994 I worked in London maintaining theBelgravia and Mayfair estates for the Duke of Westminster. I also designed and built a scheme for a garden in Eaton Square.

At the age of 20 I set up a Landscape Practice, in the summer of 1995. I have enjoyed the variety of work in this time, however I wanted to provide a more comprehensive service. I have found that the collaboration between myself and Mark has helped  provide practical solutions and improved illustrative communication with clients.

Stephen is a member of the Royal Horticultural Society and the Federation of Small Businesses.

Mark Bellwood

Garden Designer / Horticulturist

My interest in plants began when I used to help my Grandad maintain his vegetable plot; it wasn’t long before this interest turned into a passion. I realised that a career in Horticulture was for me. I decided to attend Horticultural College to study for a National Diploma.

During this time I became familiar with different aspects of the trade which included, maintaining Parks, working in Nurseries and Garden Centers.  It gave me the opportunity to study plants and take notice of how they worked together.

I began to work with a Landscaper and decided that it was Garden Design that I wished to specialise in. A few years later I achieved a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Garden Design.

Since working with Stephen, good workmanship has been guaranteed, and as a result I have experienced more freedom throughout my designs. This is due to the fact that all features are well built to a professional standard.

Paul Sargent

Landscape Assistant

Paul has been involved with IT for many years, Hewlett Packard more recently. He lead a team for much of his time and worked on providing solutions for his clients. In his spare time he enjoys playing football and he takes an active part in helping the area scouting movement.

Paul enjoys the outdoor life, working in gardens and is a methodical and reliable assistant. He brings with him a different way of looking at any job and certainly isn’t averse to a little rain! He is good with customers and enjoys conversing. He has a friendly “can do” attitude which is certainly valued!

General information

I started up Seasonal Landscapes after spending 4 years training at Myerscough College in Lancashire (Associate college of UCL) This lead to a BTEC NDL.

I had been interested in all aspects of Horticulture from an early age and enjoyed creating new gardens for customers from the start.

There are many “Landscape gardeners” around but I aim to be different and offer a top service and excellent customer care with good value built in. The future involves getting to know my customers/ future customers well so that I can carry out building the best quality gardens in the area.

I am proud of the endorsements that have been gained during last few years for us including membership of the Association of Professional Landscapers and the government backed Trustmark accreditation. We are now (2013) members of “Natural Paving Recommended Installers.” Also we are rocognised in the Lancashire “Safe Trader” scheme.

For the future I would like to have a good balance of Domestic and Commercial work with a great design service. This in turn to produce unique and exciting gardens.
