Meet Joshua Street

Joshua Street began his career in horticulture and tree surgery in 2008 before moving to gardening and garden design with roles at The National Trust and has worked at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show. This in turn led to an opportunity in estate management and Birchwood is the culmination of all of his experience and skills, and Josh acts as the central hub and brings in the skills, experience and specialism where and when needed.

As a team were very passionate about outdoor spaces and the environment and enjoy what we do. I believe this allows us to offer a better service to our clients and in every job we strive to build trust and create a lasting relationship. We understand and respect the importance of the environment in our work with gardens and estates and treat every job with the utmost importance.
