History

Brambledown Landscape Services Ltd, part of the Brambledown Contracts Group Ltd, was formed in 1972 with the combined skills of a horticulturist and construction worker. A founding director, Frank Curry, remains with the company as Managing Director to this day.

Brambledown began life in Shincliffe village on the grounds that is now Poplar Tree Garden Centre in Durham. As the company expanded it was decided that the Garden Centre would remain on the site and the landscape contracting business should be moved to a larger more efficient site. This site in Brandon is still the headquarters of Brambledown although Brambledown has also expanded to sites in Yorkshire, Tyne & Wear, and Leeming, enabling it to cover landscaping and external works schemes across the entire north of the United Kingdom.

Brambledown currently has 3 depots across the north of England and currently employs over 100 full-time staff. Brambledown Landscape Services Ltd covers all forms of external works including natural and artificial sports ground construction, historic park restoration, school playground installation and refurbishment, Heritage Lottery Fund Environmental regeneration schemes, lake, car park and pathway construction and other forms of hard and soft landscaping projects.

In 2003 Brambledown regained control of the Garden Centre from where it first started operating in Durham and now use it as a retail division which trades as Poplar Tree Garden Centre which is still based in Durham City.
