Bespoke Garden Aftercare
By the Designers Who Created It
Your garden has been carefully designed and planted. To ensure it matures as intended, we offer a optional Aftercare Package, carried out by the same team who created it.
We will create an aftercare package tailored to your garden, carried out by the same horticulturally trained designers who created your garden. During each visit, we’ll assess how well the planting is settling in, answer any questions you may have, and provide expert care where it’s needed.
We’ll work directly on your borders and give them any attention they require — from pruning and feeding to adjustments that support long-term health and balance.
Gardens Are Not Static
They grow, shift, and mature over time. Plants spread, self-seed, or decline; light conditions change as trees and shrubs develop; and weather patterns vary year to year. Your garden will change with the seasons and evolve over the years.
All the members of our award winning design team are qualified horticulturists with years of experience in maintaining and developing borders. Their expertise ensures your garden is not only maintained but guided to reach its full potential.
By continuing to work with the original design team, you benefit from a consistent, knowledgeable approach rooted in the vision of your garden.
What To Expect Over Time
Growth & Maturity
Plants grow larger, some faster than expected. Regular pruning and thinning will be necessary.
Dieback & Decline
Even well-cared-for plants can fail due to pests, disease, or extreme weather. Be ready to replace or revise planting areas.
Self-Seeding
Some perennials or annuals may self-seed into new spots. You may wish to keep or remove these volunteers.
Shifting Conditions
Shade may increase as trees mature, or areas may become drier over time.
Best Practices
Observe Regularly
Walk through the garden weekly to spot changes early.
Keep a Garden Journal
Record what thrives, what struggles, and when tasks were done.
Adjust as Needed
Don’t be afraid to lift, divide, or replace plants. Editing the garden is part of the process.
Refresh Design Every 3–5 Years
Small tweaks can restore balance, improve function, or renew visual interest.
