West Lindsey Landscapes Limited

What West Lindsey Landscapes Limited does

West Lindsey Landscapes Limited is a Lincoln, UK-based commercial landscaping subcontractor founded in 2008 by Simon and Nicci Cox. The company provides end-to-end landscaping services — consultation, design, implementation, and maintenance — to housing developers, main contractors, local authorities, care home operators, and educational institutions across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire. Its core offering spans soft landscaping (cultivation, turfing, seeding, planting, mulching), hard landscaping (fencing, timber features, pergolas), in-house landscape design, and recurring maintenance contracts.

The business operates a project-based delivery model, primarily as a subcontractor to main contractors (R G Carter, Lindum Group, G.S. Kelsey, Esh Construction) and directly to housing developers (Chestnut Homes, Persimmon Homes, Lindum Homes, Cyden Homes). Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts supplemented by recurring maintenance agreements; the company achieved nearly £1 million in turnover in 2023, its best year to date. Specialist equipment (BCS Trackmaster, Avant 640 loaders, BLEC Box Rake) and internal design capability underpin delivery, with credentials including Constructionline Gold, and ISO 9001/14001 in progress.

The company is founder-owned, with 12 employees plus a growing apprentice pipeline. A new management team was installed in 2022-2023 (Ross Golding as Commercial Manager, Kellie Gavin as Operations Manager), and the business relocated to Eagle House, Lincoln in 2023 to support expansion. Notable contract wins include the 500-home Persimmon Greetwell Fields development and involvement in the 3,200-home Western Growth Corridor joint venture. Awards include Greater Lincolnshire Construction & Property Awards 'Development Project of the Year' (2023) and CIOB Apprentice of the Year 2025/26.
