Planting by Us

When I started the nursery 20 years ago, I had no idea how many plants could fail because of poor planting, incorrect positioning and poor husbandry.

Our response has been to set up a new part of the company: Planting and Creative Maintenance - the two areas of horticulture that we feel are so sorely overlooked and underestimated.

First:
Find a tree you like.
 

Second:
Planting large trees can be a bit of a struggle. Let us do it for you.

Third:
Relax, replete in the knowledge that because we planted your tree it’s guaranteed for a year.

If, as well as designing the garden, we’ve suggested, supplied and planted the plants, then we’ll offer a one year guarantee on the plants against all reasonable eventualities - as long as you water them. This won’t include a hurricane or a flood or the coldest winter in 20 years but it will give you peace of mind that the plants will survive their first year - their most important year by far. We’ve grown the plant, we’ve seen the site, we’ve planted the plant - surely we can offer some kind of guarantee after that?

Ask for a quote... there’s no harm in asking.
