Planting & gardens
Planting plans, soil preparation, tree and shrub planting, borders and lawns established to grow into the design.
Reference photography of this discipline, not a completed client project.
Scope
Planting is drawn as a plan, not chosen at the nursery gate. Structure first — trees, hedges, evergreen mass — then the seasonal layers that move through the year, then the ground cover that closes the soil.
Soil is prepared for what is going into it: decompaction, drainage, organic matter and the right planting pit rather than a bag of compost in a hole.
We set out expectations honestly about establishment. New planting takes seasons, not weeks, and the care given in the first years decides how the garden looks in its fifth.
