Grounds Maintenance Services and Landscape Construction
We have over thirty years experience of the grounds maintenance and landscape construction industry, both in the public and private sectors. The Company has a wide range of customers which include primarily local authorities, housing associations (RSL’s), utilities, airports, power stations and plc construction companies.
By having a close understanding of our clients requirements and by providing a “one-stop” centre for landscaping services, we are able to deliver an exacting and tailor made service to all clients. Our clients realise that all work arising from the contracts will be professionally managed from the planning stages right through to finished result.
Much of our business growth is derived by developing effective trading partnerships with clients and from repeat business and custom.
Since January 2008, Vale Contract Services Ltd now focuses on the delivery of Grounds Maintenance Contracts and business, whilst the newly formed Vale Construction (North West) Ltd focuses on the delivery of external works packages, hard landscaping and minor civil engineering.
