About Us

Shrekfeet Independent Lawncare is a small, dynamic, independent, family-owned lawncare specialist delivering high-quality lawncare services across Hampshire, West Sussex, West Surrey, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. We do not mow grass and we do not lay turf. We are not a landscaping business.

We are focused on finding the right people to join our friendly team and providing development opportunities for all. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, we take pride in our dedicated team of professionals who work together to achieve exceptional results in managing the needs of our customer’s lawns. We deliver exceptional customer experience. Our customers rate us as ‘Excellent’ on Trust Pilot and our Google Reviews are 5-Star.

Respect is a core value in our business. We ensure that our employees are happy in their work. Personal responsibilities outside of work can be accommodated. If you need your hours of work varied to accommodate childcare, or similar, then we are happy to accommodate this where possible.

Our days start at 8am and usually finish at 4.30pm. Sometimes they run on a little longer during our busy periods.

We currently have two bases, one near Winchester and the other near Reading. However, the role is 'on the road' so you will be visiting multiple properties to deliver our lawncare services.

We provide 28 days paid holiday per year. After the first year you will also get your birthday off as paid leave if it falls on a workday.

Typically we shut down services for around 2 weeks over the Christmas period, allowing you time to unwind with your nearest and dearest.
