The constructed elements of a garden are like the frame of a picture – it is the planting that provides the picture itself.  Whether we construct the garden for you or refurbish planting within an existing landscape, we will provide and plant a collection of plants, shrubs and trees that will compliment their surroundings and equally importantly will suit your personal taste and preferences. 

Normally our schemes are designed with the longer term in mind and will mature over a period of 3 to 5 years, the plants growing into the space they require without the need for wholesale pruning or even removal later.  Of course, if you wish for an instant effect, a screen or even a single specimen, we will be pleased to advise you.

Successful planting schemes require both an artistic talent and sound craft knowledge - there are so many variables that have to be considered, including:

Height, soil type, aspect, season, hardiness, scent, colour, form, texture, purpose or use, maintenance requirement, invasiveness and whether you like them!

Planting will almost certainly require compromise, but a good plantsman will ensure that the main priorities are satisfied first.  It is essential that the right plant finds its right place in a scheme.

After a growing season, we will return by appointment to note any plants that have failed to establish and we will replace them under the terms of our guarantee.
