Stephen, the driving force behind SGT Landscapes, finished secondary school knowing he’s had enough of education for now and wanted to get stuck into work straight away. While most of his peers were still figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives, Stephen had already developed a passion for working outdoors, and he definitely wasn't scared to get his hands dirty. However, he faced an unusual challenge in those early days; he was too young to drive to his jobs.
Rather than letting a small issue like not having a driving licence get in the way, Stephen would hire older workers to drive him to his projects. Stubborn? Maybe. Resourceful? Definitely! And those early days would begin to define exactly what kind or company SGT Landscapes would become.
For over two decades, SGT has been transforming Teesside’s outdoor spaces, one project at a time, and as a local Teesside company, they understand the pace and its local people. Being local and understanding local folks has been key to SGT’s success, creating a level of trust from people that don’t talk the talk, but rather, walk the walk.
While some companies try to be all things to all people, SGT landscapes has built its reputation on core specialities, rather than being the ‘Jack’s of all trades’ that claim to be builders/gardeners/joiners/sparkies/anything else you can think of, we incorporate all of the most important aspects of outdoor transformation:
Hard Landscaping: Creating durable, beautiful structures that stand the test of time
Fencing and Decking: Crafting outdoor spaces that combine privacy with style
Patios and Driveways: Installing stunning, functional spaces that enhance property value
Artificial Lawns: Providing low-maintenance, year-round green solutions
This focus on specific expertise has allowed SGT to perfect their craft in these areas, leading to consistently exceptional results for their clients.
The landscape industry is highly competitive, particularly in Teesside where homeowners and businesses are both frugal, and have high expectations for their outdoor spaces. SGT Landscapes has risen to meet these expectations time and time again, culminating in their recognition as the Best Approved Installer. This award isn't just a trophy for the shelf, it's a testament to the company's commitment to quality and excellence in every project they undertake.
It's clear that this is just the beginning in an ongoing story of growth. The company continues to evolve, embrace new techniques, and maintain the same passion for quality that Stephen had when he first started out.
Awards and accolades are nice, but working hard on projects that SGT are passionate about are what it’s all about.
For anyone considering a landscaping project in Teesside, SGT Landscapes offers proven services that have stood out in the industry for 20 years and counting. Their journey from humble beginnings to award-winning excellence makes them not just a service provider, but a true success story in the Teesside business community.
