Whether you want fuller borders, a fresh planting scheme or a statement tree, we deliver planting that looks right from day one and improves each season. We regularly work near Southfields tube station and around Wimbledon Park, tailoring layouts to light, aspect and how you use the garden. Our service covers planting design, plant supply and careful installation, finished with mulching for moisture retention and a clean look. The result is a garden that feels considered, not cluttered.
Southfields homes often have compact rear gardens and long borders alongside Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, plus wider plots with 1930s semis. We plan planting to suit these proportions, keeping sightlines open while adding depth and privacy. If you’re in Earlsfield, Putney or Wandsworth, we’ll balance evergreen structure with perennials and bulbs for reliable colour. Plant choices are matched to maintenance preferences, from low-care schemes to gardener-friendly mixed borders.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess soil, drainage and microclimates, then we produce a clear planting plan and itemised plant schedule. We source quality stock, plant at the correct depth, stake where needed, and mulch to protect roots and suppress weeds. You’ll receive aftercare guidance and optional maintenance to help plants establish properly. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, tidy sites and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
In the Southfields Grid and wider SW18, gardens can vary from free-draining sandy soils to heavier clay pockets, so we adjust compost, mulches and plant selection accordingly. Access is often via side returns or narrow passages in period terraces, so we plan deliveries and plant sizes to avoid disruption. We also consider street parking and practical unloading near King George's Park. This local approach helps new planting establish faster and reduces failures.

Costs depend on garden size, plant density and the mix of shrubs, perennials, bulbs and trees. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £450–£900 including plants, while a full planting scheme for a typical SW18 rear garden is commonly £1,500–£4,000. Larger gardens or specimen trees can take budgets to £5,000+. We provide an itemised schedule so you can scale options up or down.
Most jobs take 1–2 days for a border planting or a small garden refresh, including soil preparation and mulching. A full redesign with multiple borders, shrub structure and tree planting is typically 2–5 days depending on access and plant quantities. Timescales are affected by soil improvement needs, removal of old planting, delivery lead times and weather. We’ll confirm a programme before we start and keep disruption minimal.
Planting borders, shrubs, perennials and bulbs rarely needs permission. Tree planting is usually straightforward too, but restrictions can apply if your property is in a conservation area or if there’s a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on existing trees. If you’re replacing or removing trees, we’ll advise on checks with Wandsworth Council and any required notifications. We also consider root proximity to drains, walls and boundaries before planting.
We back our work with a 10-year warranty on workmanship-related issues, such as planting installation standards and staking where specified. Living plants are affected by weather, watering and site conditions, so plant guarantees are more limited and depend on supplier terms and aftercare. We provide clear watering and maintenance guidance to support establishment, and we can return for seasonal checks or replacement planting where appropriate.
We can create formal evergreen structure, relaxed cottage-style borders, wildlife-friendly planting, or contemporary schemes with grasses and architectural perennials. Popular options include layered shrub planting, long-season perennials, spring bulbs, and feature trees such as multi-stem specimens for screening. Mulching choices include composted bark or soil improvers depending on your ground conditions. We’ll recommend a palette based on sunlight, colour preferences, maintenance level and how the garden is used.
