Daniel spent over 17 years working in the construction industry but has always been interested in landscape gardening, soft gardening, wildlife and conservation.
In 1998, he started employment as a landscaping apprentice working on large developments in London and the south of the UK whilst also studying web design as a secondary project.
By 2005, he switched trades and was running his own small cladding and specialist roofing business, serving customers in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, whilst also managing his own popular blog where he discussed the latest products, trends and techniques for the roofing industry and also landscape gardening.
In 2015, Daniel made the first steps on a three-year round-the-world expedition whilst still managing, owning and contributing to several blogs and websites. Gardening, construction, DIY and general home advice were topics he was most interested in.
Fast forward to 2021, and Daniel now works full time as a content creator and author for several websites, including two he owns himself.
At DIY Gardening, you’ll find content that Daniel is particularly passionate about, such as:
