ABOUT US

Southern Land Services are a local South East supplier of green services covering everything from grass cutting to specialist arboriculture.

When you choose to work with SLS you choose a service provider who is committed to excellence, transparency and trust.

Whether you are a local authority, private home owner or business, working with us you will benefit from our ability to achieve stable and lasting relationships with each and every one of our clients by combining our expert understanding of the outdoor environment and a transparent, reliable and honest approach.  We pride ourselves on the professionalism and precision of every aspect of our duties and work tirelessly to put the people we employ and the people we work with, first.

Our small business established in 2002 supplies the following green services to domestic and commercial clients in Sussex, Kent, Surrey and London.

GROUNDS MAINTENANCE

At Southern Land Services we pride ourselves on supplying the finest possible grounds maintenance service to all our customers.

From private gardens to country parks our ethos remains the same. We strive to offer our clients excellent value and a consistent high quality reliable service. We are always happy to return competitively priced proposals from a one off urban jungle clearance to a formally tendered long term grounds maintenance contract.

Our directly employed skilled, qualified and experienced teams are able to supply a comprehensive grounds, gardens and estate maintenance service to various sectors including:

Housing – We currently hold long term contracts with major national housing associations. We are also preferred suppliers to various managing agents and developers maintaining housing stock and estates around the South East. We work closely with many private home owners offering them a bespoke service to suit their needs. This may be limited to regular summer grass cutting up to a full all year round garden maintenance service.

Schools, Colleges and Universities – We currently supply bespoke grounds maintenance packages to many schools, colleges and universities. We are happy to discuss needs on an individual basis as we believe the corporate one size fits all is not only expensive but pretty much irrelevant. We pride ourselves on working with schools to build a grounds maintenance package that fits their requirements enabling students to get the most from their green spaces and sports pitches and importantly clients to save money on their grounds to spend elsewhere.

Open Spaces – We recognise the importance and value of parks, sports fields and open spaces in modern Britain and we take our responsibility to maintain them very seriously. These green and living spaces offer young and old the chance to compete, play, meet and relax. We ensure the trust put into us to keep these green spaces at their best is never misplaced. We endeavor to keep all our areas in optimum condition throughout the seasons.

Local Authority, Business and Retail – We provide all our local authority, business and retail clients with a high quality versatile service whether cemetery maintenance or retail space hanging basket supply; we are happy to offer a competitive proposal for any green space solution.

TREE SERVICES

Southern Land Services have been delivering a competitive, high quality tree care service to our existing clients for many years and now we are happy to be ‘branching out’ and offering our tree care service to home owners across  London and the South East.

Our arboriculture teams pride themselves on supplying the finest possible tree service to all our customers. From private gardens to country parks our ethos remains the same. We strive to offer our clients excellent value and a consistent high quality service. We are always happy to return competitively priced proposals from a one off tree reduction to a formally tendered arboriculture contract.

Laurence is qualified to supply detailed tree surveys and reports along with costs and recommendations. Laurence will also take care of all TPO issues and liaise with relevant local authority tree departments.

We recognise that both we and our clients have everything to gain if we look after your best interests and treat you fairly in all aspects of our dealings with you. Our aim is to build long-term relationships with our clients and our suppliers. We are committed to trading fairly with all our clients and suppliers, and will communicate our responsible sourcing expectations to all suppliers in the areas of health, safety and employee welfare. We will provide you with clear information about the green services we offer, including our charges, allowing you to make an informed decision as the services that best suit your individual needs, preferences and circumstances, encourage you to ask if there’s something you don’t understand and give you access to a formal complaints procedure should you become unhappy with our service.

Our chosen charity is The Mathew 25 Mission, who are a support charity for the vulnerable and homeless based in Eastbourne.

Mathew 25 Mission

The Mission in Eastbourne is a community based group assisting people in need and offers practical help and support to anyone, regardless of race, religion or gender.

We provide a listening ear and sympathetic pastoral care with information and advice as well as provision of food, clothing and basic necessities.

Volunteers at the Matthew 25 Mission aim to support people trying to rebuild broken lives, especially those with life-threatening addiction, loneliness, bereavement, unemployment, homelessness, offending and more.

We can direct people to specialist agencies while maintaining links of friendship and compassion and a safety net to help anyone who might be marginalised by society.

Over the last 17 years the project (formerly known as Oasis) has helped many to find their way back into society again.

The Eastbourne Academy Allotment

The Eastbourne Academy recognises the need for students to have an area where reflection and contemplation is key to successful academic progression. To provide this balance the Allotment / garden and ASD sensory garden projects are now underway to provide much needed ‘white space’ facilitating increased confidence and self-esteem in an outdoor learning environment where new knowledge and skills are acquired It’s success is seen as a flagship among schools in Eastbourne and in East Sussex. It has reduced school exclusions and raised attendance and given students a positive learning experience which they can carry through their lives.

The extra funding from Southern Land Services will be used to purchase specialised garden tools to assist students with Developmental Co-ordination Disorder, seeds and growing media, indoor propagators and the creation of a wildlife natural habitat. Their regular professional advice and support will enable the students (and staff) to learn and become more engaged with the outdoor learning
