Shropshire, UK – Established 1982 – Priestgate, one of Shropshire’s most trusted names in garden care, is proud to celebrate a major milestone: becoming the longest-serving garden contractors in the county.
 
Founded in 1982 by Mary and Roger Birtwhistle, Priestgate began as a small, family-run business with a simple mission — to care for gardens with skill, dedication, and pride. Over four decades later, the company remains family-run and continues to shape the landscape of Shropshire, one garden at a time.
 
“Reaching this point is a proud moment for our whole team and our family,” said Director Phil Birtwhistle. “What my parents started with a wheelbarrow and a few hand tools has grown into a respected business serving homes, estates, and businesses right across Shropshire.”
 
From routine garden maintenance and planting to full-scale landscaping projects, Priestgate’s commitment to quality has earned the trust of generations of clients. Known for their personal touch, horticultural expertise, and dependable service, the team at Priestgate has become a staple in the local community.
 
“As we mark this milestone, we’re not just looking back — we’re focused on the future,” added Phil. “We’re investing in sustainable practices, supporting young people entering the trade, and continuing to deliver the high standards our clients know and expect.”
 
To commemorate the occasion, Priestgate will be offering a series of community-focused events and seasonal offers throughout the coming year.
