About Forte Gardening
Our Story
With many years of experience in the garden industry, our founder Guy Pellett has cultivated a deep understanding of plants, turf management, and landscape care. From his time at Sutton Valence School and Dulwich Prep School, he built a strong foundation in maintaining lush, healthy grounds to the highest standard. These experiences gave him the skills to oversee large-scale garden projects, ensuring that every lawn, tree, and flower thrives.
Further expanding his expertise, Guy took his passion for gardening abroad to the Adelaide Hills in South Australia, where he ran his own successful gardening business. It was here that he developed an in-depth knowledge of drought-tolerant plants and advanced irrigation techniques—skills that are now invaluable when working with local climates and sustainable garden practices.
Combining his extensive knowledge, hands-on experience, and commitment to high-quality service, we bring exceptional gardening solutions to every project. Whether it's designing a beautiful new garden, maintaining existing landscapes, or providing expert turf care, we pride ourselves on delivering results that exceed expectations.
At our core, we believe in creating gardens that are not only beautiful but also functional and sustainable, using eco-friendly methods to support healthy, long-lasting landscapes.
Let us transform your garden into a space you'll love to spend time in.
