About us

Richard Batten

Green Retreats Landscapes - Owner

Green Retreats Landscapes was established in July 2008 by Richard, who brought with him years of hands-on experience in the landscaping industry. After spending time as a forestry professional, Richard transitioned into landscaping, starting as a labourer and rising to senior team leader, earning a prestigious BALI award (the largest landscaping awards in Europe) along the way. Driven by a passion for outdoor spaces and quality craftsmanship, he took the leap to launch Green Retreats Landscapes.

Initially operating as a successful partnership, the business quickly earned a reputation for excellence. In 2015, after seven years of steady growth and satisfied clients, Green Retreats Landscapes became a Limited Company.

Today, we are proud to offer a wide range of services, including:

• Paving & block paving
• Brickwork
• Fencing & decking
• Soft landscaping
• Water feature construction

We are committed to using the highest quality materials and delivering outstanding customer service - all at very competitive prices.

To help bring your vision to life, we also offer a professional 3D visual design service. This allows our clients to preview their project in detail before work begins - ensuring confidence, inspiration, and clarity from the outset.

Outside of work, he's a devoted family man and keen runner who brings dedication and energy to every aspect of life.
