Our Story

Founded in 2004, Approscate began as a small family business with a simple mission: to provide gardeners across the UK with the highest quality tools and expert advice. What started as a passion project has grown into one of the most trusted names in the gardening industry.

Our founder, David Richardson, started the company after years of working as a professional landscaper. He understood the frustration of dealing with subpar tools and inconsistent service, which inspired him to create a business that would set new standards in the industry.

Today, we serve thousands of customers across the United Kingdom, from weekend gardeners to professional landscapers, all united by their love for beautiful, thriving gardens.
