From Richmond Green to the edges of Richmond Park, gardens here deserve planting that suits the setting and the seasons. We create balanced schemes with perennials, bulbs, shrubs and feature trees, then install them with careful spacing and soil preparation. Whether you want a softer cottage feel or crisp, architectural borders, we tailor the palette to your light levels and maintenance preferences. Mulching finishes the job and helps plants settle quickly.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often come with mature surroundings, shade pockets and established root competition. In Kew, Twickenham, Ham and Petersham we regularly work with narrow side access, formal front gardens and long rear plots. We select plants that cope with local microclimates—warmer river corridors, windy open lawns, or dappled shade under trees. The result is planting that complements period features while staying practical to look after.
Our process starts with an on-site survey, then planting design and plant supply sourced for quality and consistency. We prepare beds, improve soil, set out plants for approval, and plant at the right depth with robust staking where needed. After planting, we mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and we provide clear aftercare guidance for watering and pruning. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for added confidence.
We’re used to working across the garden planting Richmond area, including TW9 and TW10, where access can be tight and parking controlled. In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep sites tidy. Soil conditions vary from lighter, free-draining beds near the river to heavier ground in sheltered spots, so we adjust compost, mulch and plant choices accordingly. We also account for mature trees and conservation-area character around streets near Richmond Bridge.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density, and whether you need a full planting design and plant supply. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £600–£1,500, while medium schemes with shrubs, perennials, bulbs and mulching are commonly £2,000–£6,000. Larger gardens or riverside plots with tree planting and extensive borders can be £7,000–£15,000+. We’ll itemise plants, labour and soil improvements.
Most projects take 1–3 days for a straightforward border or front garden, including soil preparation and mulching. A full-garden scheme with multiple borders, shrub planting and a few trees typically takes 3–7 days, depending on access and how much soil improvement is required. Timescales can change with weather, delivery lead times for specific plants, and whether we’re working around existing paving, irrigation or lighting.
Most garden planting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is in a conservation area, if there are Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), or if you’re proposing work that affects protected trees or boundaries. We’ll ask the right questions, check for obvious constraints, and advise on any council guidance before tree planting or major changes. If permissions are needed, we can help you prepare the details.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality such as correct planting depth, staking methods and bed preparation carried out by our team. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on watering, weather and aftercare, especially in the first season. We provide clear care instructions and can recommend maintenance visits to improve establishment. If an issue relates to our installation, we’ll put it right promptly.
We offer everything from structured evergreen frameworks to softer, pollinator-friendly borders. Popular options include layered shrub planting with perennials for long flowering, spring bulb drifts, ornamental grasses for movement, and feature tree planting for height and privacy. We can also specify mulches such as composted bark, well-rotted organic matter or decorative gravel where appropriate. We’ll guide you on colour palettes, maintenance levels and seasonal interest to suit your home and garden.
