Greenwich gardens deserve planting that complements their architecture and the area’s parkland feel, from Greenwich Park views to streets near Maze Hill. We design and install planting that delivers colour, scent and structure through every season. Whether you want a crisp contemporary scheme or a softer cottage-style border, we handle planting design, plant supply and careful installation. Expect tidy working, clear choices, and plants selected to perform in SE10 conditions.
Across the Greenwich area we work on Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments with terraces and podium gardens. These properties often need smart solutions for shade, wind exposure and privacy without blocking light. We’re used to narrow side access and stepped gardens, and we plan plant sizes and root systems accordingly. The result is planting that matures gracefully and stays in scale with your space.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess aspect, soil, drainage and how you use the garden. We then propose a planting palette and layout, supply premium plants, and install with correct spacing, staking and mulching for strong establishment. You’ll receive practical aftercare guidance, with options for follow-up visits to keep everything on track. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a finish that looks considered from day one.
Gardens in the Royal Borough of Greenwich vary from sheltered courtyards to exposed riverside plots, so we tailor plant choices to wind, salt-laden air and shade. We plan for access constraints common around Deptford and SE10 streets, including parking and timed deliveries when needed. Soil can range from improved topsoil in newer developments to compacted ground in older gardens, so we condition beds and mulch properly. Every scheme is designed to look right against local property styles and mature well.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density and whether you need a full planting design. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £600–£1,500 including plants and labour. Medium schemes for front and rear borders commonly fall between £2,000–£5,000. Larger gardens with trees, extensive shrub planting and premium specimens can be £6,000–£15,000+. We provide a clear breakdown after a site visit.
Most planting installations take 1–3 days once the design and plant list are agreed. A small border can be completed in a day, while multiple beds with tree planting, soil improvement and mulching may take 3–5 days. Timescales depend on access, the amount of ground preparation, and plant availability from nurseries. We schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep the garden usable throughout the work.
Planting work is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, there are exceptions: trees in conservation areas, trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order, or work near shared boundaries may need checks. If your property is listed or close to sensitive sites, extra care may be required. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you confirm requirements with the Royal Borough of Greenwich before we proceed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation-related issues, such as correct planting methods, staking and bed preparation. Live plants are natural products, so their performance depends on weather and aftercare, but we specify robust varieties and provide clear watering and maintenance guidance. If a plant fails due to an installation fault, we’ll put it right. Optional aftercare visits can further improve establishment and long-term results.
We offer complete planting design and supply, including perennials for long flowering, bulbs for spring impact, evergreen shrubs for structure, and specimen trees for height and privacy. Popular options include Mediterranean-style palettes for sunny spots, shade-tolerant woodland planting, and contemporary grasses with architectural shrubs. We also specify mulches such as composted bark or well-rotted organic matter to improve soil and reduce weeds. We’ll recommend choices based on aspect, maintenance level and the look you want.
