Planting & Borders
Borders disappoint when the planting is bought on impulse rather than chosen for the conditions. We check your soil and aspect, then put together planting that suits it and gives you interest through the year: structure in winter, flowers through spring and summer, colour in autumn. We prepare the beds properly with compost and plant at the right depth and spacing so things establish and fill out.
What's included
- A planting plan for your soil, light and maintenance level
- Bed preparation with compost and soil improver
- Shrubs, perennials, grasses and structural planting
- Planting at the right depth, spacing and time of year
- Mulching to hold moisture and keep weeds down
How it works
- 1
Assess
We check soil type and aspect and talk through the look and upkeep you want.
- 2
Plan
You get a planting plan and a price for the plants and the work.
- 3
Plant
Beds are prepared, planting goes in, and we mulch and tidy.
Why choose us for this
- Planting chosen for your conditions, so it establishes and lasts
- Borders that give something across all four seasons
- Beds prepared properly, not just dug over
What affects the price
Every garden is different. The main things that change the cost are:
- The size of the borders and the number of plants
- Plant sizes, from young stock to more mature specimens
- How much soil improvement the beds need
