About Ground Up

Started with a chainsaw.
Now building something bigger.

Ground Up was started by Craig Rumbles - a qualified tree surgeon and landscaper who built his reputation the old-fashioned way: turning up on time, doing the job properly, and leaving the place better than he found it.

That reputation is now the foundation for something bigger. Craig leads every project personally - quoting, planning, and overseeing the work to make sure the standard never drops. As demand grows, he brings in trusted contractors he's hand-picked and trained to work the way he does.

What People Say

Don't take our word for it

"Craig laid our new lawn and trims our hedges regularly. He always turns up when he says he will, gets the job done quickly, and the quality is brilliant every time. Can't recommend him enough."

Daniel, Potterton

"My family and I recently moved into a new home with a large, overgrown garden. Craig came round to cut back several trees and give everything a thorough tidy-up. The work was completed to a very high standard, and he offered excellent advice throughout - all at a very reasonable price."

Nathan, Lyne of Skene
