ARB Tree and Grounds was founded by Mark Boucher, whose lifelong passion for working outdoors has shaped every aspect of the business. With over 65 years of combined team experience, Mark brings hands on expertise, care and a love for trees and gardens to every job.

Mark trained at Lackham College, Wiltshire, earning a BTEC National Diploma in Countryside Management, where he developed a strong understanding of arboriculture, environmental management and sustainable land care. After his studies he became a professional arborist, gaining NPTC chainsaw qualifications lantra approved certification and MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) certification. All of which allow him to work safely and efficiently on even the most challenging tree work.

Over the years, Mark has worked on a wide variety of jobs, from complex tree removals, pruning and crown reductions. These experiences shaped the high standards and practical approach that ARB Tree and Grounds is known for today.

Eighteen years ago, Mark decided to take his experience and passion a step further by founding ARB Tree and Grounds, expanding the company’s work to include garden maintenance, fencing, and countryside management. Built on recommendations and repeat customers, the business thrives on trust, reliability, and a genuine commitment to safety.

Today, Mark and the ARB team continue to deliver expert tree care, garden services, and fencing solutions across Somerset, Dorset, and Wiltshire. Every job is approached with care, honesty, and the same love for the outdoors that inspired Mark to start the business.
