specialist pruning
Pruning of shrubs and small trees can be undertaken. Regular pruning can be necessary to encourage healthy growth, improving airflow around branches to prevent pests and disease. Maintenance pruning enhances the tree or shrubs natural shape and can encourage fruits and flowers. We also undertake specialist pruning such as:
Espalier, Pleaching, Cordon, Cloud Pruning, Topiary
containers
Planting in containers is perfect for situations when you can’t plant directly into the ground. Almost anything can be grown in a container and it offers the flexibility of being able to move them around to refresh and revitalise a garden. Whether it’s a specimen tree or shrub to provide architectural interest or a display of seasonal plants or succulents, we can supply, advise and offer ongoing container maintenance for your garden or workplace.
Productive Gardens
Growing your own food is probably one of the most rewarding aspects of gardening. Whether you want some fruit trees in a border, a small raised bed for salad leaves or a larger plot for feeding your family, we can offer support and advice with planning, sowing, growing and maintenance of your productive garden. Following organic and no-dig principles using a bed system, we focus on environmentally friendly methods of gardening to encourage biodiversity and restore ecological balance between pest and predator.
plant sourcing
There’s never a truer phrase in the gardening world than ‘right plant, right place’. If you are looking for a particular plant or type of plant suitable for a specific situation, we are able to bespoke source for you. Sourcing locally, where possible, from reputable New Forest growers, we can source, pick and arrange delivery, whether it’s a single shrub or a border full of herbaceous perennials.
