Business Details
Trusted Nursery Services in Knaphill
Stafford Lake is a family-owned business operating from the same site for over four decades. We specialise in cultivating high-quality Hostas, dwarf conifers, and hedging plants, maintaining a strong focus on British-grown stock. Our Hostas are propagated exclusively through division or UK-based tissue culture, ensuring they are free from HVX contamination. While primarily a wholesale nursery, we expanded to online retail during the pandemic and continue to serve both trade and individual customers. We offer nationwide delivery via Royal Mail, with some restrictions to EU/Ireland due to phytosanitary regulations.Visitors are welcome by appointment to view our extensive plant collections. Our expertise extends to tree planting, hedge maintenance, and targeted pest/disease management, including specialist spraying services for Leylandii, box blight, and Thuja blight. We collaborate with professional arborists for tree surgery requirements and maintain strict quality standards through proper labelling and barcoding systems for trade clients.

Our collection includes specialist varieties unavailable elsewhere, with decades of professional growing experience ensuring high-quality stock free from HVX contamination. Plants are grown to generous sizes for their specific varieties.
