Do you undertake the construction yourself?
No, my role is to produce a comprehensive design in both 2D and 3D, scaled drawings and specification notes on materials and products to be used. From these plans comparable estimates can be sought from landscaping and construction firms, builders or gardeners.
Do you supply the plants?
I will source the plants required for the design from reputable British nurseries. I will endeavour to use local, independent suppliers and supply plants grown in peat free compost with non plastic pots wherever possible.
What about on-going garden maintenance?
A bespoke aftercare service is available should you wish Walklands to continue to care for your plants.
The plants chosen for your design will match your maintenance requirements and skill levels.
Online information, to RHS standard, will be provided for all the plants included in your design. This will include guidance on tasks to carry out through the year to maximise the success of your new garden.
Walklands can also help and advise you if you wish to employ a regular gardener.
