The Kingsbury Lawn Care Team
No small business can excel without a leading team. Our lawn care team have previous experience in a range of sports turf settings, or have received extensive lawn care training, both in-house and in a range of other settings.
Our technicians each hold PA1+6 qualifications as standard, and we're proud to be a customer obsessed team who take great pride in what we do.

How is Kingsbury Lawn Care Different
We have a different vision for what we believe the lawn care industry should look like, and will look like in the future.
Through many of the knowledgeable and experienced individuals and growing businesses we come into contact with, we believe quality lawn care is best achieved on a regional level via independent operators.
There is no doubt that a deeper consideration of environmental impacts will become increasingly commonplace in the near future.
Mission
To become a leading provider for quality lawn care services, through people-orientated, passionate, professional grounds people.
We seek to delight as many homeowners as possible through unrivalled service and results.
We strive to provide a varied, enjoyable and rewarding workplace for our team who can be fond of our collective success.
