Planting services for homes across Surrey

New plants change the mood of a garden in an instant. A clear line of evergreens brings calm shape privacy and soft colour. We help you choose a look that fits your house and the way you spend time outside.

How we begin

Share two photos and rough sizes or ask for a short visit. Tell us what you want to achieve. More privacy a softer path or a green frame for the lawn. We reply with ideas that feel right and a clear figure that is easy to accept.

Soil preparation

Healthy roots need good ground. We blend compost into tired soil and set levels so the line sits true. The trench is raked smooth and ready so every plant meets the same depth and the row looks tidy.

Spacing and straight lines

We set a guide line and space every plant so growth feels even. Corners and gates are considered so the view stays balanced. Curves are gentle and clean where the design asks for it.

Planting technique

Root flare sits at soil level. Backfill is firm but not heavy. We water in with care and shape a small ring around each plant to catch the first days of water. The result looks natural and secure from the start.

Mulch and care

A neat mulch holds water and keeps weeds down. We leave simple care notes for the first season so watering and trimming feel easy. Your line thickens and the colour stays calm through the year.

Choices that suit your space

Thuja for a soft screen. Yew for a classic line. Laurel for quick cover with a gentle shine. We guide you to the choice that fits light soil and the pace of your garden.

Aftercare and support

We can check the plants after a few weeks and we remain one message away if you have questions. A small trim at the right time keeps shape even and helps the line fill with fresh growth.

Clean finish

Paths and patios are protected during work and swept at the end. Waste is removed and the border is left tidy. You step outside and the garden feels complete.

Planting Services Surrey FAQs

Design-led planting across Surrey — from soil preparation and right-plant/right-place selection to tree, hedge, perennial and seasonal schemes, with aftercare to help your garden thrive.

Design & Selection — Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose plants that thrive in my Surrey garden (sun, shade, soil, exposure)
We survey light levels, soil type (loam/clay/sand), drainage and wind. Then we shortlist plants proven locally and align the palette to your style — modern, cottage, woodland or mixed.
Can you design planting to look good year-round with structure and seasonal colour
Yes — evergreens for backbone, deciduous shrubs for interest, perennials/bulbs for waves of colour and grasses for movement. We layer heights for depth and long season impact.
Do you provide mood boards, plant lists and quantities before installation
You’ll receive a simple concept board, annotated plan (where useful) and an itemised plant schedule with sizes, numbers and spacing for full transparency.

Soil & Bed Preparation — Frequently Asked Questions

How do you prepare borders for planting (weeds out, compost in, levels set)
We strip weeds and tired soil, add quality compost/topsoil, set levels away from paving and incorporate slow-release feed. Edges are cut crisp ready for mulch.
My garden is heavy clay — can you improve drainage and soil structure before planting
We blend organic matter and sharp sand where appropriate, loosen compaction, add grit to planting holes and specify plants that tolerate clay. French drains if needed.
Do you mulch after planting and what type do you recommend (depth, benefits)
Yes — 50–75 mm of bark or composted mulch to lock in moisture, suppress weeds and protect roots. We leave a small collar gap around stems.

Trees & Hedging — Frequently Asked Questions

Which trees work well in Surrey gardens (screening, small spaces, architectural)
For screening: pleached hornbeam, photinia, evergreen magnolia. For small spaces: amelanchier, acer palmatum, multi-stem birch. For structure: olive, bay, cloud-pruned yew.
Do you install root barriers, stakes and irrigation for new trees and hedges
We position stakes/leathers low and firm, add watering tubes where beneficial and fit root barrier near services or paving. All trees mulched with a generous ring.
What hedging options do you offer (instant hedging, native, evergreen, low) and spacing advice
Instant hedge units for immediate privacy, native mixes for wildlife, evergreen (laurel, yew, griselinia) for year-round cover, and low box alternatives like ilex crenata. We specify spacing by species and plant size.

Perennials & Seasonal Colour — Frequently Asked Questions

Can you create low-maintenance perennial borders with long flowering periods
Absolutely — we group reliable performers (salvia, nepeta, geranium, rudbeckia, echinacea, penstemon) and ornamental grasses for movement and winter seed heads.
Do you supply bulbs and seasonal bedding for spring/summer/winter displays
Yes — layered bulbs (tulips/narcissus/allium) and coordinated bedding for pots/borders. We plan colour themes and swap through the year for continuous impact.
Will you work with my existing shrubs and refresh gaps rather than start again
We often retain good structure, prune to shape, lift/divide perennials and re-plant gaps so the garden feels renewed without waste.

Wildlife & Low-Maintenance — Frequently Asked Questions

I want pollinator-friendly planting — what do you recommend (native & ornamental mix)
We combine nectar-rich natives (lavender, hebe, heather, achillea) with long-flowering perennials and herbs. Staggered bloom times keep food available from spring to late autumn.
Can you design drought-tolerant or low-care borders for busy households and renters
Yes — Mediterranean palettes (cistus, rosemary, santolina), grasses and groundcovers with drip irrigation and mulch to reduce watering and weeding.
Do you avoid invasive species and consider pets/children when selecting plants
We screen for invasives and flag any toxicity concerns. We’ll adjust choices for play areas and create thorn-free routes near paths.

Aftercare & Irrigation — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install drip irrigation or soaker hoses and set watering schedules for new planting
We can add discrete drip lines/soakers with a timer. We also leave establishment watering notes (frequency/depth) tailored to season and soil.
What maintenance is needed in the first year (pruning, feeding, staking checks)
Monthly visual checks, top-ups of mulch, light formative pruning, slow-release feed in spring and stake/anchor adjustments after wind events.
Do you guarantee your planting and replace failures if they don’t establish well
We guarantee workmanship and source quality plants. Establishment depends on care and conditions; we outline fair replacement terms in writing.

Quotes, Timing & Coverage — Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plant in Surrey and how long does a project take from plan to planting day
Autumn and spring are ideal for roots to establish. We can plant year-round with irrigation/mulch. Typical small schemes: 1–3 days on site after design approval.
