Sherlock’s Tree and Countryside Services

Sherlock's Tree and Countryside Services is proudly based in Devon and run by Mark, who brings 33 years of professional experience in grounds maintenance, gardening, tree care, hedge trimming, and vegetation management. After five years working with an environmental consultancy—gaining specialist expertise in countryside management and ecological contracting—Mark returned to self-employment to offer his skills directly to clients across the South West.

🌿 Areas We Cover

We serve private clients and commercial partners—including ecological consultants, developers, and landowners—across Devon. For ecological contracts, we also travel further afield when required. Mark currently manages a long-term grounds maintenance contract near Ivybridge, maintaining a village of 120 dwellings with regular upkeep and seasonal care.
