Canary Wharf gardens often need planting that looks sharp in every season and copes with wind and reflected heat from tall buildings. From terraces near One Canada Square to podium spaces by Jubilee Park, we create planting schemes that feel intentional, not random. Our team handles planting design, plant supply and careful installation, including mulching for a clean, finished look. You get borders and containers that thrive, not just survive.
Much of E14 is made up of modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with balconies, roof terraces and compact courtyards. These spaces benefit from structured shrub planting, tough perennials and bulbs that deliver colour without constant upkeep. For larger plots around Isle of Dogs and Poplar, we can add tree planting to soften hard landscaping and improve privacy. We also plan for irrigation-friendly layouts where access is limited.
We start with a site visit to assess light, wind, exposure and how you use the space, then produce a planting plan with clear options. Once approved, we source reliable nursery stock, plant at the right depth, improve soils where needed and finish with mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. If anything fails due to planting workmanship, we put it right promptly. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, neat working practices and results that mature beautifully.
In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, many gardens sit on podium decks or in raised planters, so drainage, weight limits and soil depth matter. Access can involve lifts, loading bays and timed deliveries around Crossrail Place and nearby developments, so we plan logistics carefully. We choose plants that tolerate wind tunnels and salt-laden air from the waterfront. Where parking or permits are required, we advise early and schedule to minimise disruption.

Costs depend on size, access and the plant palette. For a small balcony or terrace refresh, budget roughly £450–£1,200 including plant supply and planting. Medium borders or courtyard schemes are often £1,500–£4,000. Larger planting design with shrubs, perennials, bulbs, soil improvement and mulching can be £4,000–£10,000+. Tree planting typically adds £250–£1,500 per tree depending on size and lifting access.
Most balcony or small terrace planting can be completed in half a day to one day. Courtyard borders usually take 1–3 days, especially if soil improvement and mulching are included. Larger schemes with multiple beds, tree planting and staged deliveries can take 3–7 days. Timescales are affected by access restrictions in apartment buildings, lift availability, weather, and whether plants need ordering in specific sizes or varieties.
Planting, border creation and mulching are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, there can be rules around tree works (especially if a Tree Preservation Order applies) and restrictions in conservation areas. Apartment blocks and waterfront developments may also have estate management guidelines for planters, irrigation and balcony loading. We’ll check the practical requirements and advise if any council or building approvals are needed before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by incorrect installation practices. For planting, we also stand by our work: if a plant fails due to planting workmanship within an agreed establishment period, we’ll replace it. Plant losses caused by extreme weather, pests, neglect or changes to site conditions aren’t covered, but we’ll always advise on aftercare to maximise success.
Popular choices include structured evergreen shrubs for year-round form, long-flowering perennials for colour, and spring bulbs for early impact. For windy balconies we often specify tougher, compact varieties and add screening plants for privacy. Tree planting can work well in larger courtyards using multi-stem forms for a softer, architectural look. We’ll match options to your light levels, maintenance preferences and the style of your property, then supply and plant everything neatly.
