Professional Garden Planting & Mulching
The most satisfying part of gardening is putting new plants in the ground. It really makes you feel like you are putting a personal touch to your outside space. While it can be very rewarding, the physical demands of preparing the soil, digging the holes or moving around heavy bags of compost puts a lot of people off. That’s where we come in! We love doing the heavy work for you so you can add a pop of colour to the garden beds or plant that specimen tree without lifting a finger.
We also understand that choosing the right plants can be daunting. During our free on-site consultations, we’ll work with you to select plants that thrive in your garden’s conditions and fit your budget, ensuring you get the perfect additions for your space.
Adding mulch to the garden is a fantastic idea – it has multiple benefits for the soil, such as boosting nutrient levels and reducing moisture loss, all while looking great and making your plants pop. It also helps prevent weed growth, saving you time, effort, and money in the long run. We can help you source, arrange delivery, and spread the mulch of your choice, making it easy to give your garden that extra bit of love.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick the best plants for my garden?
Choosing the right plants can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! During our free on-site consultations, we’ll guide you through a few key considerations to find the perfect match for you and your garden. We’ll discuss your preferences, whether it’s a specific color, adding fruits and vegetable plants, or the ideal plant for a shady spot. We’ll also consider your garden’s conditions and, of course, your budget.
How do I care for the plants?
Once we’ve finished planting, we’ll provide you with clear and easy-to-follow care instructions. In most cases, regular watering is the most important element. For those who want the ultimate TLC, we also offer a follow-up plant care service, including maintenance like pruning, spraying, and fertilising.
After planting, if you have any concerns about your plants’ health, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re happy to answer any questions and provide further guidance.
Is bark mulch the only option for my borders?
While bark mulch is a popular choice, it’s definitely not the only option. Pea straw, lucerne, and sugar cane mulches are fantastic alternatives, especially for fruit and vegetable gardens. These break down more quickly than bark mulch, enriching the soil with nutrients faster. We can discuss the pros and cons of each type during your consultation.
What can I do if my garden soil quality is very poor?
Poor soil quality can be a challenge, but it’s definitely something we can address! During our on-site consultation, we’ll assess your soil and recommend the best approach for improvement. This might include adding organic matter like compost or manure, amending the soil with specific nutrients, or even suggesting a no-dig garden bed if that’s a more suitable option for your situation. Don’t worry, we can help you create a healthy foundation for your garden to flourish, no matter the starting point.
