Our Background / History
Graveltech was born from the marriage of excellent products and the passion for providing outstanding customer service in an area not known for its service and quality.
Mike Peacock (Operations Director) has been involved in providing landscaping solutions for over 20 years, working with his father, the tree surgeon through his youth, and later after attaining a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Biology undertaking an apprenticeship with Fiona Lawrensen (Chelsea Garden Festival Gold Medal Winner). He then went on to run his own successful landscaping business called Grow Landscapes which boasts an impressive client list including the Crown Estates, The Bahranian Embassy, The Prince of Bahrain’s private residence and Dulwich Picture Gallery among its many satisfied customers.
Mike was involved in the provision of a number of driveways through his work and realised that there was a lack of reliable quality installers of driveways, this coupled with his passion for beautiful landscaping solutions and a love of bonded gravel made him keen to want to fill this gap in the market.
Mike realised that the challenge of providing this level of service to be achieved he needed to engage a suitable partner and felt that long time friend would provide the right blend of skills when added to his own.
Rhodri Davies (Sales Director) has a BSc (Hons) in Industrial Business Studies and has a wealth of experience in providing excellent customer care in his dealings with both small businesses and large corporates providing IT solutions. He is also a qualified and experienced project and programme manager (PRINCE2 & MSP), which, along with his passion for renovating properties, made him the ideal partner for Mike’s practical experience.
