Meet the Team
Harley Beckett
After finishing school, the draw to working outdoors was clear, starting out in labouring for brick layers in construction, the outdoors always felt like home.Over the years, many career paths were explored, from opening a clothing boutique to learning first fix carpentry on site, but the love for working outdoors never faded.
A turning point came while labouring for a koi fish pond building company, where the passion for creating beautiful outdoor spaces truly took root and there was no looking back. Over the next 7 years of working through the ranks, so to speak, and gaining more hands on experience at several respectable landscaping companies, the appreciation for transforming gardens in to meaningful spaces deepened. Becoming a father then added a new layer of purpose to the love for creating outdoor environments for families to enjoy together, this meant that it was naturally time to go out solo!
With his dad, Chris, fresh from a 30 year military career offering his support, and armed with an old mark 1 ford ranger (still going strong), a wheel barrow, and lots of determination, we began to build the foundations that led to the beginning of Beckett Landscaping.
After 3 years of steady growth, loyal clients and an on growing portfolio, Beckett Landscaping is now a registered Ltd company and just getting started.
Passions: Family, woodland camping, outdoor adventures, a keen interest in history, boxing & most of all - being outdoors… in nature.
CHRIS Beckett
From a 17 year old out of Manchester into a young soldier in the Infantry with the 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers for 14 years; Chris then challenged himself to successfully go through a rigorous selection process and into a Special Duties Unit. In 2010 Chris finished 22 years in the British Army, not forgetting all the operational, humanitarian tours and posting’s in between. After serving in the military, Chris did a short spell in Baghdad, Iraq as a private security contractor from there was then offered a position in a US Government mentoring contract which led to a further 5 years working very closely with the Afghan Special Forces and Afghan Department of Police Intelligence in Afghanistan, it’s fair to say that Chris had more than earned a quieter life cruising the River Great Ouse on his wide beam boat with his wife and dog while battling various elements of PTSD… However being the true soldier he is, Chris was set on helping his son build his landscaping business by whole heartedly offering his labour and woodworking skills to the business, not to mention his military precision mentality! Chris enjoys the challenge to compliment a project with his bespoke outlook, adding a sense of personalisation to a project suited.
Passions: Wood Carving, Being Grandad, Keeping Fit & Healthy, History, His Boat & Sawing Wood… Always cutting wood.
