ABOUT Southern Grounds Services.

An opportunity to do things differently

We saw an opportunity to affect change, to do it differently, so
Southern Grounds Services was formed. A grounds maintenance, landscaping, and green workplace services brand, built on a robust set of principles and values, where we offer high-quality services at a competitive price while fostering lasting relationships with our clients.

CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE.

Youth and experience

We recognise the significant and persistent issue with skilled labour shortages across numerous sectors in the UK. That is why we have created a “centre of excellence” providing our youth with an opportunity to a career path. Providing a mixture of youth and experience within Southern Grounds Services.

“We’ve been working with SGS for about a year now, and they’ve consistently proven to be a reliable and responsive partner. They supply both labour and plant for our tree surgery and vegetation management projects, and their support has been invaluable—particularly on large-scale projects where tight deadlines were a challenge. Their ability to mobilise quickly and deliver high-quality work has made a real difference, and we’ve come to trust them as a key part of our delivery team. Highly recommended..”

“The SGS grounds maintenance team are very knowledgeable and work to a very high standard. They keep me informed every step of the way and offer suggestions on how to improve certain areas to enhance nature. They have just carried out a re-design of our reception frontage which has transformed a dull grassed area into a plant rich in diversity.”

“Darren and the team have been a great help on a few of my projects now.
They always go the extra mile to assist me when deadlines are tight. Always a friendly voice at the end of the phone ready to help in any way that they can regardless of how short notice it might be.
It has been a pleasure to work with them and I look forward to any future projects that they can assist me with.”

“We are currently working with Southern Grounds Services to redesign and maintain our school’s reflection garden, and we are already so impressed with their expertise and dedication. Their team has provided invaluable guidance on the best layout, plant selection, and tree care to create a peaceful, safe, and inspiring space for our pupils and staff.

Throughout the process, they have been professional, knowledgeable, and highly attentive to our school’s needs. They are carefully shaping existing trees, introducing new greenery, and ensuring the entire area is well-maintained for long-term use. Their commitment to safety and sustainability is evident, and their attention to detail is bringing our vision to life beautifully.


We are excited to see the final results and have no doubt that our reflection garden will become a wonderful, tranquil space for children to relax and connect with nature. We highly recommend Southern Grounds Services to any school looking for expert grounds maintenance and thoughtful Sustainable outdoor design.”

“On recommendation we contacted this company and found them to be courteous and professional. SGS were contracted to carry out a comprehensive tree survey within our grounds.  SGS provided a comprehensive scope of works highlighting trees needing immediate attention and those that needed to be reviewed every quarter. SGS provided a scope of works, risk and method statements. The work was completed on time.”
