Most small to medium beds take 1–2 days from preparation to planting and mulching. Larger borders, multiple beds or significant soil remediation can take 3–5 days, sometimes longer if we’re removing old shrubs or improving drainage. Timescales also depend on access, waste removal, and whether plants are supplied from stock or ordered to match a specific design. We confirm timings after the site survey.
Flower beds and planting are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering boundary walls, or working around protected trees or conservation areas. If your property is listed or you’re near mature trees, we’ll advise on best practice and check any relevant restrictions. We aim to keep everything compliant and straightforward from the outset.
