Planting and Garden Refresh
In Hertfordshire and North London
Thoughtful planting and gentle reworking to strengthen and revive your garden
Our Planting and Garden Refresh service is for established gardens that need clarity, cohesion, and renewed structure, rather than a full redesign.
This service focuses on planting, structure, and selective adjustments that improve how the garden looks, feels, and functions, without major disruption or unnecessary change.
It is an ideal way to bring confidence and direction back to a garden with good underlying bones.
Who this service is for
This service is suited to you if:
Your garden feels tired, overgrown, or unbalanced
You would like clearer structure and better seasonal interest
You want professional planting rather than decorative additions
You are looking for meaningful improvement without a full redesign
It is particularly suited to mature gardens, new homes with inherited planting, or gardens that have been developed in stages over time.
This service does not include reworking garden layouts, levels, or hard landscaping, which are addressed through our Garden Design and Build service.
What we deliver
Our Planting and Garden Refresh service typically includes:
Initial site visit and assessment
Planting design focused on structure and seasonal flow
Selective removal or reshaping of existing plants where appropriate
Supply and installation of new plants
Mulching and soil improvement where needed
Guidance on aftercare and garden development
The emphasis is on doing the right things in the right places, rather than adding more for the sake of it.

Plant choices are made for longevity, resilience, and seasonal interest, with a naturalistic feel that matures well over time.

Customer Testimonials
We wanted someone with experience to bounce ideas off and make a garden that is welcoming and beautiful.
Tim immediately understood the kind of atmosphere we hoped to create and was knowledgeable about which kinds of plants would work best. Our garden looks even better than I could have imagined.”
Tim achieved a good balance between following our vision and adding lots of interesting ideas. He incorporated elements that were important to us, such as our water fountain, while suggesting many other things.
Overall, we couldn't be happier with the wonderful garden Tim designed for us. It really is our favourite thing about coming home!”
We were working on a major building project at the same time, so Tim’s soothing, measured approach was a real pleasure.
The finished garden is extremely calming and reflects our whole experience of working with Tim.”
Tim’s use of computer models allowed us to really understand what we would get and what the design would look like from all aspects which gave us confidence to proceed with the design.
Tim managed the work on site very diligently with lots of attention to detail which made a huge difference to quality. The finished product is amazing!”
