Trained as an arboriculturalist, Hicks started his professional career as head gardener to surrealist art patron Edward James at his Sussex estate, West Dean. He helped James create his gardens in England, Italy, and 'Las Pozas' in Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, Mexico. After James' death, Hicks continued to live as garden manager at West Dean before moving on to other projects.
He has won a few awards, including one from the British Association of Landscape Industries for his raised treetop walkway, The Dark Walk, in the Enchanted Forest at Groombridge Place in Kent.
