The family behind garden product company MGP – who have been operating in and around Stoke-on-Trent for almost 100 years – are gearing up to prepare local gardens for summer.

With spring underway, many people are beginning to look forward to upcoming barbecues and social gatherings.

MGP explained that now is the perfect time to begin home improvements to get patios, terraces and gardens ready for the summer festivities.

A spokesperson for MGP said: "Hopefully the worst of the winter weather is past, signs of spring are everywhere and the warmer weather can't be far away! At MGP we are ready to help."

They added: "Whether you are in Stoke, Crewe, Congleton or anywhere else in the Staffordshire or Cheshire area, we are your number one choice for landscaping and garden products. And we have been providing a great service to our local community for 100 years."

MGP, which brings Milton Garden Products, Cheshire Garden Products and PK Stubbs together under one brand is owned by a local family who have been serving the local community in North Staffordshire for almost a century.

One of the first companies in the group was coal merchanting business Harrison Fuels with a history dating back to 1932.

When Jack Harrison founded J Harrison & Sons, a coal merchant serving homes in and around Stoke-on-Trent, the coal was delivered by horse and cart from nearby pits, with the business operating from a modest end-terrace house in Bucknall.

Over the last 20 years, the third generation of the family has diversified the company and they are now suppliers of aggregates, paving and garden landscaping products.

MGP said: "Today more than half of our business is garden paving, and we really are the experts in this area."

They added: "For all your garden landscaping requirements, we remain your first choice in the area.

"As the biggest specialist in the region, we make tens of thousands of deliveries in the season throughout North Staffordshire and South Cheshire."

There are a wide range of products available to transform outdoor living spaces such as Indian stone paving, Indian sandstone, porcelain paving, concrete paving, decorative gravels, sleepers, fencing and turf.

All the extras needed to complete a transformation including edgings, sealers and cleaning products are also available.

The company imports all their stone and porcelain paving products directly from quality manufacturers which allows them to offer "better prices than the DIY retailers and other competitors".
