About Us
History of King Acre
Established in 1999, King Acre Landscape Centres were the innovative idea of Bowland Stone’s then managing director, Paul Elston.
Paul had a very big vision to start a franchised business in landscaping centres. So, the big idea – to utilise redundant outdoor areas at well-established garden centres, providing a ‘ready-made’ business to willing franchisees.
Hard landscaping is an area garden centres typically shy away from, as it requires staff specifically trained in the area.
Introducing a King Acre franchise to a centre attracts new customers – the addition of high quality landscaping supplies combined with clear point of sale material, product-specific marketing campaigns, and our knowledgeable staff.
We have the full support of Bowland Stone, stocking a wide variety of their paving and aggregates.
King Acre is now a well established brand amongst landscapers and local residents.
