Here's me along with my sister back in the early '80's - I was Always building and Creating ! - I was used to having like minded enthusiastic people helping me build my creations from a young age.
All About STIMPSONS GPDB - (GARDEN,PAVING,DESIGN & BUILD) -
How it all started ! ... the l..o..n..g version.
How it all started ! ... the l..o..n..g version.
Tim's interest in Landscaping began at a very young age whilst playing around with old bricks and timber in his grandfather's back garden, where he was allowed to dig holes and fix brickwork, walling and pathways along with stacking bricks to make den's from the age of just 6 years old, while most of his friends where still playing with LEGO, even building the occasional mini-Igloo's back in the 80's snowy winters! (Picture above) He can still remember his first mini brick 'den' and how it collapsed ingulfing him in a pile of brick rubble and his grandfather pulling him out of all the mess, washing him down, covering him with germolene and plasters! -
then going on to teach the importance
of a sturdy foundation and the installation of
load bearing lintels ... a VERY painful lesson,
however, one thankfully learnt very early on in life!
This interest was fuelled further when he helped his dad Landscape his family's back garden building a pond, pathways and paving at the age of just 13, the transformation from a shabby derelict overgrown garden into stunning practical family areas and linking pathways was just completely mind blowing to Tim, right there and then at that very early age of just 13, Tim knew he wanted to make people feel exactly how he did when he walked down the pathway to spend time by the pond of his new garden many years ago - so this is exactly where it all started ! - He wanted to learn how to do this for his job and build wonderful places for others to enjoy and spend time with their family, improve their lives
and the time they spent together.
'Stimpsons' was eventually formed in May 2000 by Tim Stimpson at the age of 25 after gaining considerable knowledge
and extensive Practical skills, all backed with a big chunk of Natural talent and a ridiculous amount of enthusiasm to succeed.
Tim has been involved in the garden, landscaping and building industry from a very young age, with both his father and grandfather being groundworkers and civil engineers for a Large Family Business and his Mother was a very talented, award winning florist before retiring - I guess it was always just meant to be ? - it's also not often you also find your forename hidden within your own surname ... STIMPSONS - He spotted it early on and as time went by decided to use this as a personal sign of his mark of quality by forming a personal meaningful LOGO rather than a showy flashy name that could be easily changed if a company changed hands or indeed just their name, he wanted better sign of complete trust, so literally put his name (or stamp) if you like, against all his work as his sign of trust, quality and commitment
to each and every one of his customers and projects !
Tim is extremely proud with each and every job the
team build along with him and is still part hands on !
Since leaving school in 1992, he worked initially at the age of 16 for a nursery and landscape company based in Cranham, Essex for 6 - years, Tim met his very first Boss Jeff Hedges, his commitment and customer service and management skill were second to none, he learned so much working there - especially running a
small business and some excellent customer care.
Tim absorbed all he could from the nursery, it was like a family to him and found it very hard to let go, however he needed to follow his desire to learn more on the Hard landscaping side and found a local small Paving and Landscaping company owned by Mark Day - The skills and commitment and shear hard work Mark provided for his customers were just truly inspiring, his care for his family along with his care for Tim as his only employee at the time stick with him to this very day ...
He literally made Tim a better person with his awe-inspiring Mindset on Family, Life, work ethic and running a small trustworthy Business!
Tim then reluctantly moved on in his determination for even more knowledge and skills and got 'distracted' and started working for a very large national landscaping company, providing services to the commercial and domestic sectors, including the local Council for two more years before he gained enough skills and knowledge to launch his own Business - I guess from working there he learnt exactly how Not to treat customers along with how Not to provide a quality service ! and another BIG decision from the back of this job, decided early on by Tim is that his business would only grow big enough that he could honour his Customers the Care and Maintenance that they deserve and restrict the amount of builds
his team would install per year to honour this.
Throughout these years he began with 'hands-on' positions and quickly worked up to managerial roles as his knowledge and potential was spotted, this is when he found he deeply missed the doing parts ! and missed not being on site watching the projects unfold.
This, ultimately led to Tim starting up 'Stimpsons' as he could combine all the planning, design, arranging and doing parts, along with providing a dedicated 'hands-on' personal service - to provide a perfect balance of hands on service and customer care.
Tim is proud to offer this unique 'fusion' of small, friendly and local business values together with the customer service and care structure you would expect from a much larger company -
for the perfect balance of care from first contact to end result
for all our customers !
Tim over the years has had the chance to teach all his knowledge gained to his Children, family members
and his dedicated Team of employed Staff! -
Tim's eldest son jay joined the team in 2020 and is rapidly building his skills along with Tim's second eldest son Taylor - who installs part time electrical installations and provides part time labouring,
Tim's brother-in-law Chris came on board to help with the rapidly growing family business in early 2017 and provides additional labour and logistical services to complete all projects on time.
We are very proud to have implemented NEW for '23 - our very own
in-house 'academy' style training for school leavers and quickly train them with Hard Landscaping skills - This with equip them with skills for life and opens the door to becoming a team leader (typically after 3 years working with us) and potentially become a site manager or assistant manager (typically after 5 years training) ... I've had many years working with labourers from all walks of life
some have personal challenges setting them back.
It hasn't been easy as I've had to manage (with no official training so to speak) various people including staff with Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD, a lot of people with unrecognised skills and potential end up in the Horticulture trade as that's normally were the education system points them after leaving school,
however I have the skills and also the patience
and experience to make a BIG difference.
Many young people who have not found themselves at school (especially those who have struggled after leaving) -
have exceptional hidden skills that need developing and honing and thrive in this industry as long as they are understood and guided correctly with the support of Correct positive management in place that helps them rather than hinders.
here's some often overlooked gifts I've been blessed with
along with some members of my staff :
Attention to detail, Deep Focus, Observational skills, Absorb and retain facts, Visual skills, Expertise, Methodical, Novel approaches, Creativity, Tenacity and resilience, Accepting differences, Integrity, abundant energy and many more :)
- The perfect fit to create amazing Landscaping projects !
I have been given a gift and I'm also I'm able to spot the potential in people - spot their Natural talents, despite their weaknesses, all my staff have specific primary roles and importantly are encouraged to take on other tasks
as secondary roles to help them develop
in all areas of the business.
I'm very keen to help those who are struggling to find their way in life, I love to help them thrive and develop skills -
it brings me great satisfaction sharing all my skills
to help others to become successful,
we are essentially one Family that work together
and help each other out.
As said, it hasn't been easy! - its been a long journey,
one that's that's about to become very interesting indeed.
There's some photos below of me teaching
my children to safely use a digger when younger
