Some gardens can be transformed by a rethink of the planting. A change to the shape and size of your borders, together with a new planting scheme to extend the flowering season can give a garden a whole new look.

A new planting design shows the precise location, number and spacing of every plant, both new and existing, in the design. It details how plants may be used to provide screening, focal points, or to enhance views.

Great care is taken in choosing plants that will thrive in different aspects and conditions, and evolve over the seasons so that there is something of interest in the garden all the year round. Combining shapes, texture and palettes of colour is a vital part of the planting design process.
