From balcony courtyards near Royal Arsenal to family gardens in Plumstead, we create planting that suits how you live outdoors. Our team handles planting design, plant supply and professional installation, so everything arrives in the right sizes and quantities. Expect well-composed borders, healthy trees and shrubs, and seasonal interest from perennials and bulbs. We work across SE18 with tidy, considerate site practice.
Woolwich homes range from Victorian terraces with narrow plots to converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments with raised planters. Each needs a different approach to light, wind exposure and soil depth. We select plants that cope with urban conditions and deliver strong structure without overwhelming smaller gardens. If you’re in Charlton or Abbey Wood, we’ll tailor the palette to your aspect and maintenance preferences.
We start with a site visit to assess sun, drainage and existing planting, then propose a clear layout and plant list. Once approved, we source quality stock, prepare beds, plant correctly and apply mulch to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. You’ll get straightforward aftercare guidance to help plants establish quickly. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean finishes and consistent results across the garden planting Woolwich area.
Gardens around Woolwich Town Centre and the Thames can be wind-exposed, with mixed made-ground and compacted soils from older sites. Access can be tight in Victorian streets, while apartment blocks may require timed deliveries and lift/route planning. We plan plant supply and logistics to suit local parking restrictions and shared access points. This practical experience helps our garden planting in Royal Borough of Greenwich run smoothly from delivery to final mulch.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and whether you need design and supply. As a guide, small border refreshes often start around £350–£900, while full planting for front and back gardens is commonly £1,500–£4,500. Larger schemes with specimen shrubs, multi-stem trees or extensive soil improvement can reach £5,000–£10,000+. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit in SE18.
Most jobs take 1–2 days for a typical border or small garden, including bed preparation, planting and mulching. Larger gardens or multi-area schemes can take 3–7 days, especially if we’re adding trees, improving soil, or removing old planting first. Timescales also depend on access (shared courtyards, stairs, limited parking) and plant availability. We’ll confirm a programme before we start.
In most cases, garden planting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. The main exceptions are protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders), conservation area rules, or works affecting shared/managed grounds in apartment developments. If you’re adding or removing trees, we’ll advise on checks and can help you confirm requirements with the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We also consider boundaries and neighbour impacts when positioning larger plants.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements such as bed preparation, staking and planting method. Living plants are affected by weather and aftercare, so plant guarantees are typically limited and depend on species and conditions; we’ll explain this clearly in your proposal. We also give practical aftercare instructions on watering, feeding and pruning to maximise establishment and long-term performance.
We can create contemporary architectural schemes, wildlife-friendly cottage borders, evergreen structure planting, or low-maintenance palettes for busy households. Popular options include layered shrub planting with perennials, spring bulbs for seasonal lift, ornamental grasses for movement, and small trees for height and privacy. We also specify mulch types (bark, composted organics) to suit soil and aesthetics. We’ll recommend plants based on light, exposure and your maintenance budget.
