Custom Planting Plans Q&A
Q: What is included in a custom planting plan?
A: A custom planting plan includes a detailed layout with plant recommendations tailored to your garden’s soil, light conditions, and aesthetic goals. We provide information on each plant’s growth patterns, care needs, and seasonal interest to ensure year-round beauty and sustainability.
Q: Can you design a planting plan that requires minimal maintenance?
A: Yes, we specialise in low-maintenance planting plans, selecting hardy, drought-tolerant plants that require less frequent watering, pruning, and care. This is ideal for clients looking to enjoy their garden without the need for extensive upkeep.
Q: Do you consider soil and sunlight conditions in the planting plan?
A: Absolutely. We assess your garden’s soil type, pH levels, drainage, and sunlight exposure to choose plants that are best suited for the environment. This ensures that plants thrive with minimal intervention and enjoy optimal growth conditions.
Q: Can I request specific plants or themes in my planting plan?
A: Yes, we encourage clients to share their preferences. Whether you want a pollinator garden, a specific color palette, or a mix of native plants, we incorporate your ideas and preferences into the plan to create a garden that reflects your vision.
Q: How long does it take to create a planting plan?
A: The time needed depends on the complexity and size of your garden. Simple plans may take a few days, while more detailed or themed planting plans can take 1–2 weeks. We’ll provide a clear timeline after the initial consultation.
Q: Do you offer seasonal planting plans?
A: Yes, we can create seasonal planting plans that ensure your garden looks beautiful year-round, with plants blooming in different seasons. This approach adds seasonal interest and maintains vibrant colors throughout the year.
Q: Will the planting plan include advice on spacing and layout?
A: Yes, our planting plans include precise recommendations on plant spacing, layout, and companion planting. This ensures that each plant has room to grow and flourish without overcrowding, creating a balanced and harmonious look.
Q: Can you design planting plans for small or shaded gardens?
A: Absolutely! We tailor each plan to fit your specific garden size and light conditions. For small or shaded areas, we select compact, shade-tolerant plants that maximise space while creating a lush, appealing landscape.
Q: Do you provide guidance on plant care and maintenance?
A: Yes, we include care instructions for each plant in the plan, detailing watering schedules, pruning, and fertilisation needs. We also offer optional ongoing maintenance services to keep your garden in top condition.
Q: Can planting plans attract wildlife like bees, birds, or butterflies?
A: Definitely. We can design planting plans with pollinator-friendly plants, berry-producing shrubs, and native species that support local wildlife. This not only benefits the environment but also adds a lively, natural element to your garden.
