Bristol Garden Design & Bespoke Planting Plans
Where Design Inspires Nature
Beautiful, Year-Round Planting Borders Designed for Your Home
Well designed planting borders should offer colour, structure and interest across all four seasons, not just a few weeks in summer. Whether you have a new build garden, a tired border that needs rejuvenating, or you're starting fresh with a full redesign, I help homeowners across Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Stroud and the surrounding areas transform their outdoor spaces with planting schemes that are horticulturally sound as well as beautiful.
Professional Planting Plans Tailored to Your Garden
I design bespoke planting plans and borders tailored to your garden's light levels, soil type, aspect and maintenance preferences.
A professional Planting Plan includes:
-
A detailed layout showing plant positions and spacing
-
Integration of any existing plants worth keeping
-
A balanced mix of colour, texture and seasonal interest
-
A fully itemised Plant Schedule listing botanical names, sizes and quantities
-
A design suited to your lifestyle, whether low maintenance or more hands on
Your Plant Schedule is used for accurate costing, ordering and setting out, so the planting phase runs smoothly.
Expert Plant Sourcing for Every Style and Budget
My team can source a wide range of plants, from perennials and annuals to feature shrubs, architectural specimens, mature trees and statement plants.
This is a stand alone service, you don't need a full garden design to benefit from professional plant sourcing. It's ideal if you want a beautiful border but aren't sure which plants to choose or where to buy them.

Front Garden Design & Planting
Front gardens are often under used. Done well, they can support wildlife, add real kerb appeal, and even help with water harvesting, but most people walk past them every day without giving them much thought.
Installing a driveway doesn't mean giving up on planting. I can design borders with year round interest to suit any taste or budget, so the space still works and still looks good.
I can also tidy and maintain existing borders, bringing tired spaces back to life and giving the front of your property a proper lift.
Choosing plants can be overwhelming. I'll guide you through it, making sure what you plant goes in the right spot, with the right aspect and the right soil.
Whether it's refreshing a border, building a raised bed, or starting a new border from scratch, it's worth getting advice early, it's what makes the difference between a display that lasts and one that doesn't.
I have a decade of experience in pruning, and can help rejuvenate existing plants and trees, as well as advise on improving soil health to make sure your garden thrives no matter what the weather..
Plant Sourcing
My team has access to a wide range of trade nurseries specialising in perennials of all sizes, to suit different budgets.
We always work to your colour scheme, matching plants to the aspect, soil and site conditions of your garden. We can also supply hedging and more unusual planting, including umbrella style specimen trees, living fence panels and pleached trees.
Because we source through our trade network, you get the same quality as garden centre plants, at a lower cost.
Planting Plans
My design process is built around creating a border you're genuinely pleased with and will enjoy for years.
3 D planting schemes and plant suitability are both part of that process, so the space reaches its full potential.
I take accurate measurements of your garden, then use my plant knowledge to supply and plant a border that will thrive.
Planting plans start from £250 for small borders.
