If your borders feel bare or your garden lacks structure, our planting team can transform it with considered layouts and robust plant choices. We regularly work around Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park, creating planting that looks good in every season. Whether you want a soft cottage feel or a clean, architectural scheme, we balance colour, texture and evergreen shape. Planting design, supply and installation are all included, so you don’t have to chase multiple suppliers.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have long, narrow gardens that benefit from layered border planting and vertical interest. 1930s semis commonly suit feature trees, fuller shrub planting and practical mulched beds to reduce maintenance. We plan for shade from neighbouring extensions, warm south-facing patios, and the way families use their gardens. Our schemes work just as well for front gardens as they do for larger plots near Lee and Grove Park.
We start with a site visit to understand light levels, soil condition and your preferred style, then produce a clear planting plan with options to suit your budget. Plants are sourced from trusted nurseries, delivered fresh, planted at the right depth and watered in properly, with mulch applied to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. We keep disruption low, leaving paths and drives clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent recommendations and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We understand the mix of heavier clay pockets and compacted soils found across the London Borough of Lewisham, and we improve planting holes with the right conditioners where needed. Access can be tight on streets near Hither Green Cemetery, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider front-garden visibility and boundary planting typical of Victorian and Edwardian plots. Our plant choices cope with urban heat, wind tunnels between terraces, and shaded side returns.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you’re adding trees. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £450–£900 including plants, planting and mulch. Medium gardens with multiple borders typically fall between £1,200–£2,800. Larger schemes with specimen shrubs or tree planting can be £3,000–£6,000+. After a site visit, we provide a clear breakdown for plants, labour and mulching.
Most planting jobs take 1 day for a small front garden or a couple of borders, and 2–3 days for a medium back garden with several beds. Larger schemes with tree planting, soil improvement and extensive mulching may take 4–7 days. Timescales depend on access, the amount of ground preparation, and whether we’re removing old plants first. We’ll confirm a schedule before ordering plants.
Garden planting and border creation are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, there can be restrictions if you’re in a conservation area, if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), or if work is close to boundaries and public highways. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on checks with Lewisham Council before tree planting or major changes.
Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to the installation standards we control, such as correct planting depth, staking where required, and bed preparation we’ve agreed. Living plants are affected by weather and aftercare, so plant guarantees depend on nursery terms and your watering routine, especially in the first season. We provide clear aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance visits to help new planting establish well.
We can create everything from modern evergreen structure to relaxed, wildlife-friendly borders. Popular options include perennials for long flowering, spring bulbs for early colour, shrubs for year-round form, and small trees for height and screening. We also supply mulches such as composted bark or well-rotted organic mulch to improve moisture retention and finish beds neatly. We’ll recommend plant palettes based on light, soil, and how much maintenance you want.
