What does it cost for a planting plan?

Planting plans cost £40 per sqm of planting space. So if you have 20sqm of area that needs a planting plan, this would be £800.

This does not include the plants themselves but we can source the plants from Wholesalers so that it is cheaper and have them delivered to you.

Depending on the project, we can do the planting for you, or we can come and place out the plants where they are to go so that you can plant them yourselves or arrange for a gardener or landscaper to plant them.

Use this tool to help calculate the size of a planting area that you have and use the sliders to play about with the planting density and average plant cost.
