RYLAND HORTICULTURE LTD

PREMIER TREE SURGEON, ARBORICULTURAL, AND LANDSCAPE CONTRACTORS OF YORK

Rylands Vehicles…1983 to 2024.

Just a selection of some of our old vehicles, most of which have gone now, but all did a stirling job in carting all manner of tree brash, logs and landscape materials over the years. We ran a couple of Ford cargo wagons, one with a hiab, LDV crew cab tippers and recently Ford transit crew cab tippers. We also needed 4×4 vehicles & always had a landrover somewhere in the fleet.

We even had a company motorbike, for those tricky lanes.. now replaced by a quad.

It was a bad day when we hit the post office van head on in the snow whilst doing a job for James Herriot’s partner near the White Horse!

It’s the staff that make or break a firm!

With over 40 years trading and over 70 members of staff through the years.. there may be a few faces you remember on your tree job or landscape scheme. It’s the quality of staff and people that have worked for us that has made Rylands the company it is today. Plus of course strong management!

Good quality and detailed management, high professional ethics, treating people with courtesy and respect,not messing customers about & doing what we say we are going to do, when we say we are going to do it…that’s Rylands ethos. We also admit when something goes wrong and put things right straight away..

It’s the seven P’s of running a firm… Prior Planning and Preparation Prevent, P— Poor Performance.

Many smiling faces. It’s great to look back and remember working with these people. Many have gone onto other careers in the Industry, some came as students from Askham Bryan College during their training, others went abroad and some are still with us after 40 years!!
