Practical Garden Advice Without the Full Landscape Design Cost

Not every garden needs a full redesign. Sometimes a border needs improving, a blank area needs purpose, or an existing planting scheme simply is not working.

Our Garden Advisor service gives you professional, practical and creative advice to help you make the most of your outdoor space. Whether you need a new planting plan, ideas for a tired flower bed, seasonal colour, structure, or help choosing the right plants for your soil and aspect, we can guide you through the process clearly.

Have a blank or tired flower bed
Want a planting plan for a specific area
Need ideas for improving an existing garden
Are unsure what plants will suit their soil, light and style
