Garden trees and planting — Landscape gardener
Explain the role of the planting, such as screening, shade or seasonal interest, and identify the space available. Share sunlight, soil and drainage information and your maintenance capacity so the provider can propose a suitable plant schedule rather than a collection chosen only by appearance.
Service scope
A garden-focused commission for selecting, supplying or installing trees, shrubs and other plants within an agreed planting area. The broad catalogue label requires a clear distinction between plant supply, planting labour and ongoing care; mature-tree surgery is a separate specialist service.
What is normally included
- Defined planting selection or supply
- Agreed bed or planting-area preparation
- Installation and establishment-care handover
What is not included
- Automatic pruning or removal of mature trees
- Guaranteed survival regardless of site or aftercare
Typical tasks
- Clarify the planting purpose
- Review site and existing plants
- Agree species sizes and supply
- Prepare and plant the specified areas
- Handover establishment-care requirements
What to include in your brief
- Planting area and purpose
- Sunlight soil and drainage
- Existing plants to retain
- Preferred style and stock size
- Watering and maintenance capacity
Choosing the right professional
Compare plant schedules, stock sizes and preparation, with substitutions subject to agreement. Ask who checks suitability and how aftercare is handled; a landscape planting package should not silently include specialist operations on established trees.
Important considerations
- Unsuitable species or planting positions can create future maintenance problems
- Poor establishment conditions can compromise supplied plants
