Landscape Architect & Operations Director & Boss Man
Richard Helyer
Founder of Helyers of Hampshire, and the reason why we are all here! From a lawn mowing round at seventeen to tapping his father up to help buy said business a year later (Don always knew a great investment); his dream, his vision, and his hard work is what still drives him and this firm on today. His hands-on approach, his extensive knowledge of hard and soft landscaping and his ‘always go that extra mile’ work ethic means he’s the heart and soul of Helyers. Watch this space, he’s definitely going to need a hellyeah when he’s done!
Interesting Facts:
Tree hugger by trade (well, he hugs them as he cuts them if that counts) and a total lover of all things green, he is never happier than when he’s talking gardens or working in them – unless the F1 is on! Keen cook, crossword genius, Kate Winslet lover, and a fillet medium-rare kinda guy.
He’s the better half to Stacey, or is it the other way round? He’ll let Stacey tell you that! Teenage sweethearts, they have a little girl called Elsie-Valentine – who’s well and truly stolen his heart! and is desperate to follow in her Dad’s footsteps.
