About Us

Landscape Associates Ltd was founded by Richard Curle. He was joined shortly after by a former colleague Paul Bunn who shared the same ethos and passion for constructing gardens. Together they have gone from strength to strength gaining recognition within the industry for their professionalism and a reputation for outstanding quality.

Richard Curle

I started my career working for a local garden maintenance company and discovered a passion for horticulture and working outdoors. I was soon studying part-time courses at a local college.

Upon completing these I decided to dedicate myself to full-time education, and I completed my Higher National Diploma in Horticulture and Landscape Construction at Writtle College.

During my work placement I worked at a landscape construction company and was fascinated in the relationship between elements of construction and soft landscaping. The challenge of bringing the two together harmoniously cemented my love affair with all aspects of the landscape. Upon completing my education I worked as a self employed landscaper briefly before setting up Landscape Associates Ltd.

After leaving school I attended Richmond Upon Thames College where I gained City & Guilds in brickwork and went on to qualify in Advanced Level City & Guilds, brickwork.

After College I worked for two well established landscaping companies based in Surrey where I undertook large scale landscaping projects working alongside various high profile designers. I soon advanced to Foreman where I was solely responsible for running projects of various sizes and budgets including responsibility for all staff members on site.

During this time I had the opportunity to work on award winning gardens for highly regarded RHS exhibitions including Hampton Court Flower Show, Chelsea Flower Show and Tatton Park Flower Show.
