Experience passed through the business
Arundel Landscapes has been trading since 1989, working on gardens and outdoor spaces across Glossop, the High Peak, Greater Manchester, Tameside and Cheshire.
Rob Kidd joined the business in approximately 1993 and took over ownership in 1996. He has continued to develop the company around careful workmanship, sound horticultural knowledge and gardens that are made to last.
Today, Rob leads a small team of four. It includes two long-serving, experienced employees and, more recently, his son Joe. Customers deal with an approachable team that knows the work and takes responsibility for the finished result.

What our customers say
Rob and his team have completed this week a complete transformation on one side of my back garden. Extending my patio they did over 10 years ago into an L shape with new sleepers for planting. New fencing and side gate also. It's perfection in every aspect. The design work is excellence.
A very friendly team.
Thank you Rob for creating such an amazing garden in Stockport.
Rob,
This is just to say a huge thank you for agreeing to take on such a difficult project.
It is really very much appreciated, and is a massive improvement and transformation from the previous mess.
Many many thanks
Dear Rob,
Nadine and I would like to place on record our complete satisfaction for all the work you have done for us over recent years. You have transformed the appearance at the front and turned the rear garden into somewhere that is relaxing to both sit and work in. We can't think of anything more we could ask you to do, unless we move house.
