Borders that look good from March to November
Good planting is about the right plant in the right place. We choose for your soil, your light and the time you want to spend on the garden, then plant it ourselves.

Every planting plan starts with the ground. We test the soil, note where the sun falls through the day and ask how much time you'd like to spend gardening. A border for someone who loves to potter looks very different from one for a busy family who wants it to look after itself.
We plant in layers: a few structural shrubs and evergreens for winter, grasses and long-flowering perennials for summer and autumn, and bulbs to start the year early. Plants come from two nurseries we've worked with for years, and we inspect them before they arrive.
Every border is prepared with compost, planted at the right spacing, watered in and finished with a mulch to keep weeds down and moisture in. New plants are guaranteed for twelve months when they're watered as our aftercare notes describe.

If your question isn't here, call the office on {phone} and we'll happily talk it through.
Can you plant for a shady garden?
Yes. North-facing and shaded gardens can be beautiful with the right ferns, hostas, hellebores and woodland grasses.
How much maintenance will the border need?
We'll plan to the time you have. Most of our borders need a tidy in late winter and occasional weeding; we can do that for you on an aftercare plan.
Do you plant trees and hedges?
Yes, from young hedging to semi-mature specimen trees, which we plant with the right staking and watering systems.
Can you rescue our existing borders?
Often. We'll keep the good plants, lift and divide what's overcrowded, and replant around them.
