FAQ
Common questions.
Autumn is best — soil is warm and the rain does the watering for you. Spring is fine. We avoid mid-summer planting unless it is irrigated.
Most of our schemes are designed for one full tidy a year plus a light spring cut-back. We can scale up or down depending on how much gardening you actually enjoy.
Some, every year. We replace any losses in the first twelve months. After that, plant turnover is normal in any garden.
A mix. Native hedges and trees for structure and wildlife, ornamental perennials for colour and length of season. We will balance it for you.
