Earthworks Landscaping Ltd

Earthworks was founded in Manchester in 2014. The veteran employment programme developed after the founding director took on a former Royal Engineer as his first employee and found the military background — discipline, precision, problem-solving under pressure — made him an outstanding landscaper.
