ReGreen Community Interest Company

ReGreen Community Interest Company is a socially-driven garden maintenance company based in Newcastle upon Tyne. It serves domestic and business customers across Newcastle upon Tyne and surrounding areas. As a CIC, it reinvests profits into local community projects. The company practises organic gardening with no herbicides or pesticides, and uses quiet, electric equipment powered by 100% renewable energy. It is insured, waste carrier licensed and certified in safe use of power tools. It hand-crafts wildlife products using 100% reclaimed materials and sources plants, tools and materials from local suppliers.

The team includes Kris, who has over a decade of amateur gardening knowledge and years of experience tending to some of the finest estates in the North East, and holds a Diploma in Food Science and Nutrition; Jakub, who ran a successful community food garden project for several years and holds a degree in Ecology and Conservation; and John, who holds a Diploma in Forestry and Arboriculture and a BSc in Sustainable Land Management, and offers all aspects of tree surgery through his own company, World Tree Services. ReGreen offers volunteering opportunities throughout the year and provides organic gardening services.

ReGreen Community Interest Company carries out gardening work across Newcastle upon Tyne, and the accounts left by customers return again and again to the same strengths. Several reviewers describe the team as reliable and punctual, arriving when arranged and completing the tasks agreed, whether that involves regular maintenance visits or one-off clearances. Jakub and Kris are named repeatedly, with customers noting their friendly and professional manner as well as their willingness to share practical advice, from tips on what to grow in revived vegetable beds to guidance on maintaining a trimmed hedge.

The range of work described includes tidying overgrown shrubs, weeding, cutting back, pruning hydrangeas, removing a small tree and a stubborn stump, trimming a Buddleia and a front hedge, and renovating neglected vegetable boxes, with planters and pallet-built containers supplied for a concrete yard in Heaton. Tidiness after the job is a point that comes up often, with gardens left neat once the work is finished. Knowledge and helpful suggestions are mentioned alongside the standard of the result, and the same crew is booked again for later visits.
