Bristol Garden Maintenance & Garden Design
Where Nature Meets Nurture

Beautiful, Year-Round Planting Borders Designed for Your Home

Our passion lies in creating well-designed planting borders that offer year-round colour, structure, and seasonal interest. Whether you have a new-build garden, a tired border that needs rejuvenation, or you’re starting fresh with a full redesign, we help homeowners across Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Stroud, and the surrounding areas transform their outdoor spaces with thoughtful, horticulturally sound planting schemes.

 

Professional Planting Plans Tailored to Your Garden

We offer bespoke planting plans and border design services 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 that suits your lifestyle, whether low-maintenance or more hands-on
     

Your Plant Schedule is used for accurate costing, ordering, and setting out, ensuring the planting phase runs smoothly.

Expert Plant Sourcing for Every Style and Budget

We can source a wide range of plants, from perennials and annuals to feature shrubs, architectural plants, mature trees, and statement specimens.

This is a stand-alone service, you don’t need a full garden design to benefit from professional plant sourcing. It’s ideal for homeowners who want a beautiful border but aren’t sure which plants to choose or where to buy them.

 

Garden Consults in Bristol, Bath & Beyond

To begin, simply get in touch to arrange an initial conversation. We’ll then book your Garden Consult, a 2-hour on-site visit costing £149.

During your consultation, I will:

  • Assess the garden’s aspect, light levels, and microclimate

  • Test and evaluate soil type and drainage

  • Review existing planting and garden structure

  • Discuss your vision, needs, and maintenance preferences

  • Take full measurements of the proposed area
     

This information forms the foundation for your planting plan or border redesign.

Planting Plans With Moodboards & Maintenance Plans

Full Planting Plans, which include moodboards, a plant schedule, and a tailored maintenance plan, start from £150. These plans help you understand how your garden will look throughout the seasons and how to care for it long-term.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, well-structured garden that thrives all year, I’d love to help you bring your outdoor space to life.
