Planting ornamental hedges, staking trees and installing irrigation.<br />

The first stage<br />

PLANTING BY US<br />

To clarify : this service is separate from our Garden Design service.<br />

Customers often just want some trees planted properly and like the<br />

idea of our conditional guarantee...<br />

Planted high, well staked and no<br />

competition. Perfect<br />

When I started the nursery 20<br />

years ago, I had no idea how<br />

many plants could fail because of<br />

poor planting, incorrect positioning<br />

and poor husbandry.<br />

Our response has been to set up a<br />

new part of the company :<br />

Planting and Creative Maintenance -<br />

the two areas of horticulture that we<br />

feel are so sorely overlooked and<br />

underestimated. We'll guarantee the<br />

plants for their first year (always the<br />

trickiest) and the only thing you'll<br />

have to do is keep them well watered<br />

for their first season. In the majority of cases we will have seen where<br />

the plants are going - the general aspect, the degree of shelter or<br />

exposure and the type of soil. We've grown the plant, we've seen the<br />

site, we've planted the plant - surely we can offer some kind of<br />

guarantee after that? Ask for a quote - distance from either nursery can<br />

obviously be a problem but there's no harm in asking.<br />
