Horticulture

From sourcing and selecting to placement and planting, we have a deep understanding of horticulture and an unashamed passion for living things.

We’ve seen it and we’ve planted it

Because we’ve been working in gardens of all shapes and sizes for decades, we know what works. Skilled in planting and nurturing bulbs, shrubs, hedges and trees in the right spots, in the right soil, at the right time so they are optimised for growth and longevity.

Practical but creative

It’s a unique combination that means we can spot water logging potential from 20 paces but also recognise when a slight tweak in angles can deliver added impact to a display.

We build close and established relationships with designers and this collaborative approach delivers projects that exceed expectations.

Quality and sustainability

Whatever your project needs, we know where to source products of the highest quality. Because we’re committed to biodiversity, every decision we make has sustainability and the long-term positive impact on the garden and the wider environment at its core.

FAQs

We start with the conditions. Soil, aspect, drainage and how the space will be used all influence the planting scheme. Our aim is to put the right plant in the right place, giving it the best chance to thrive long-term rather than creating something that looks good for a single season.

It should look better. We design planting schemes with growth and maturity in mind. Gardens are living spaces that change over time, so our focus is on creating structure, seasonal interest and long-term resilience rather than short-term impact alone.

Definitely. Whether it’s pollinator-friendly planting, hedges, wildflower areas, climbing plants or water features, we look for opportunities to increase biodiversity wherever possible. Small changes can have a surprisingly big impact on local wildlife.

Yes. Features such as pollinator-friendly planting, green roofs, living walls, hedges and water features can all be incorporated into modern landscapes without compromising the design.

We have strong relationships with a number of garden designers and regularly collaborate to bring their ideas to life. Our horticultural knowledge helps make sure planting schemes perform as well in reality as they do on paper.
