    What Is Our Planting Plan & Design Service?

    Our planting plans offer soft landscaping options based on individual requirements, whether you want to revamp existing garden beds, or create entirely new planting areas for your home in Surrey, Hampshire and the surrounding area.

    A carefully considered planting design is an important part of any landscaping project, as it completes the garden and softens the hard landscaping.

    Working alongside one of our chosen garden designers, we can offer planting plans to suit all budgets.

    We will advise and guide you through the process to achieve your dream garden including design, plant selection as well as preparation of beds and planting once the customer is happy to proceed.

    What’s Included in a Planting Plan?

    A planting plan gives you expert guidance on the best plants for your garden, with a clear layout showing where each plant should go.

    We consider your:

    • Garden’s size
    • Soil type
    • Aspect
    • Light levels
    • Styles you would like to achieve
    • We create a practical planting scheme with carefully selected plants that work well together and provide colour, structure and interest throughout the seasons.

    This is ideal if you want to refresh existing borders, improve a new garden, or create a more attractive outdoor space without needing a full garden redesign.

    Depending on your requirements, we can provide the plan for you to plant yourself, or we can supply and install the plants for you.

    Planting Schemes for Borders

    Our planting plans are perfect for filling those borders around your garden and enhancing it with plants of your choice, depending on your knowledge.

    By carefully selecting plants that thrive in your garden’s specific conditions, such as sunlight exposure and soil type, you can create a vibrant and sustainable border that flourishes throughout the year.
    Alternatively, you can leave all of the choosing and planning to us, and we will create a detailed planting plan perfect for your garden borders.

    Our expert designers will consider the overall shape, colour scheme, and plant height to ensure a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design.

    Whether you prefer a formal border with neat lines or a more naturalistic style with varied plant shapes and foliage colours, our plans will help you achieve your desired garden aesthetic while also providing interest and support for local wildlife.

    Stage 1 – Survey/Quote For Your Garden

    We will start by visiting your garden to discuss your requirements and following this discussion, we will provide a quotation for the cost of the planting plan.

    Once the quotation has been accepted we will take measurements for planting beds and borders, take soil Ph levels and aspects for sun and shade will be noted.
    Then we will review the space to get familiar with how certain plants and flowers may work in each area.

    Stage 3 - Planting Service

    In the final stage, after providing your planting plan and design, our team of experienced professional gardeners and landscapers will come and clear and prepare the areas to be planted, based on the planting plan discussed.

    Sufficient labels will be left on for plant identification. After planting a compostable layer of precomposed bark will be spread over and around the plants as a weed-suppressing mulch, this will also help with moisture retention within the soil.

    At AS Landscapes, we can also offer the installation of cost-effective RHS-recommended timed irrigation systems.

    Planting Design VS Garden Design

    A planting design focuses specifically on the plants in your garden, including plant choices, layout, colour, texture, and seasonal interest. This is ideal if you already have the main structure of your garden in place but want expert help creating a beautiful, well-planned planting scheme.

    A garden design looks at the whole outdoor space. This can include layout, paths, patios, lawns, borders, seating areas, levels, materials, and planting. It is a more detailed design service, suited to larger projects or gardens that need a complete redesign.

    For smaller projects, or for clients who would like to do the planting themselves, a planting plan can be a more budget-friendly option than a full garden design.

    Design & Planting Service FAQ's

    How do you create a planting plan for my Surrey garden?

    We start with a site visit to assess soil type, sunlight, and existing features. Our designers then create a bespoke planting plan tailored to your preferences, budget, and the unique conditions of your garden.

    What is the best time of year for planting?

    Autumn and spring are ideal for planting, as the soil is warm and there is plenty of rainfall. However, we can plant throughout the year with appropriate care and watering.

    How do you ensure sustainability in your planting designs?

    We prioritise eco-friendly practices such as using native plants, promoting biodiversity, and incorporating sustainable materials and water-saving features.
