From compact front gardens near Tolworth Broadway to larger family plots around King George's Field, planting needs to look good and perform well. We create planting design schemes that suit how you use the garden, then supply and plant the right mix of perennials, shrubs, bulbs and trees. Expect tidy borders, improved soil condition and planting that matures gracefully rather than turning into a maintenance headache. We can work to refresh tired beds or build a full planting plan from scratch.
Tolworth’s suburban gardens often sit behind 1930s semis, post-war houses and newer developments across KT5 and KT6. These plots can be long and narrow, shaded by neighbouring fences, or exposed at the rear where wind dries borders quickly. We select plants that match light levels, drainage and the amount of upkeep you want. If you’re in Surbiton, Chessington, Worcester Park or New Malden, we’ll tailor the palette to your microclimate and garden aspect.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess soil, sun, access and existing planting worth keeping. We then produce a clear planting layout, source quality stock, and carry out border planting, tree planting and shrub planting with correct spacing and aftercare in mind. Beds are finished with mulching to lock in moisture and reduce weeds. Homeowners choose us because we turn plans into reliable results, arrive when we say we will, and keep the site clean and respectful throughout.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Tolworth gardens often have mixed soils and pockets of compaction from past building work. We improve planting areas with organic matter, adjust layouts for shaded side returns, and plan for access and parking constraints near Tolworth Tower and busier roads. Where gardens back onto open spaces, we choose wind-tolerant plants and mulch thoroughly to reduce drought stress. The result is planting that settles quickly and stays looking intentional.

Costs vary by bed size, plant density and whether you need design and soil improvement. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £350–£900 including plants, while larger schemes for multiple borders commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500. Tree planting is typically £250–£900 per tree supplied and planted depending on size and staking. We’ll itemise plant supply, labour and mulching so you can scale the plan to budget.
Most planting jobs in the Tolworth area take 1–2 days for a straightforward border, and 2–5 days for a full garden planting scheme with several beds, shrubs and one or two trees. Timescales depend on access, how much ground preparation is needed, and the volume of plants to set out and water in. If we’re removing old planting or improving soil levels, we’ll allow extra time for tidy disposal and finishing.
In most cases, garden planting, border creation and mulching are permitted and don’t require planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees, work within conservation areas, or if a Tree Preservation Order applies. If you’re adding larger trees or working close to boundaries, we’ll flag any potential issues early. We can help you check council guidance and ensure planting locations and species choices avoid future conflicts with neighbours or utilities.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to the quality of installation such as correct planting depth, staking, and bed preparation where specified. Living plants are affected by weather and aftercare, so plant survival guarantees depend on season, plant type and watering arrangements. We’ll provide clear aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance visits to maximise establishment, especially through the first growing season.
We can create anything from clean, evergreen structure with shrubs and clipped forms to softer cottage-style borders packed with perennials and bulbs. Popular options include pollinator-friendly planting, low-maintenance schemes, screening with multi-stem trees, and seasonal colour using spring bulbs and summer perennials. Mulch choices typically include composted bark or well-rotted organic matter to suit the bed. We’ll help you choose a palette that fits your taste, light levels and upkeep preferences.
