Planting Design & Installation

Your garden might not need a redesign. It might need a planting transformation.

Whether your garden has good structure but the planting feels tired, sparse or thrown-together, it's an established garden that's lost its way, has empty borders waiting to be planted, or simply isn't living up to its potential — thoughtfully designed planting can change how it looks and feels.

I create planting schemes that bring beauty, structure, seasonal interest and biodiversity, and unlike many planting design services, I take care of the whole process myself — design, plant selection, sourcing, garden preparation and planting — so you're left with a finished, transformed garden, not just a plan to carry out yourself.

A complete planting transformation typically runs £3,500–£5,000+, depending on the size and ambition of the planting.

Case Studies:

Susannah,

N4 Harringay

Before: a garden with good bones but a muddled planting story. Mediterranean and woodland plants mixed in with inherited roses that had ended up there by accident, and a shady corner left to its own devices.

The garden needed extensive soil improvement, and removal of some very old roses that Susannah never felt were truly hers.

After: replanted around one clear idea, drought-tolerant and wildlife-friendly with an Australian feel.

She came home to a finished garden and left a five-star review: "looks and feels like home."

Emily

Before: an established acer and olive tree to build around, but planting that had grown eclectic rather than intentional, plus a couple of toxic plants that needed rethinking with a young child in the picture.

N14 Palmers Green

After: an abundant, planting-led transformation built around feeling surrounded by the garden rather than just looking at it.

She called the finished result "joyous."

This service is ideal if you:

• Have a garden with good structure but uninspiring planting

• Want more colour, texture, and seasonal interest

• Need help choosing plants that suit your garden's conditions

• Would like a more wildlife-friendly garden

• Feel overwhelmed by plant choices and want expert guidance

• Want the planting professionally sourced and installed

My Approach

Great planting is about far more than choosing beautiful plants.

I consider how a planting scheme will look and feel throughout the seasons, how it responds to the conditions of the site, how much maintenance it will require, and how it contributes to the wider garden.

By combining horticultural knowledge with a designer's eye, I create planting schemes that feel balanced, long-lasting, and full of life.
