PLANTING DESIGN

Our planting design service creates structured planting schemes chosen for texture, privacy, seasonal interest, and long-term garden maturity. We carefully plan how each plant will work within the space, considering height, spread, colour, movement, flowering time, evergreen structure, maintenance needs, and how the planting will soften the wider garden design. Whether you want privacy from neighbouring properties, a softer border around new hard landscaping, or a layered garden that feels established throughout the year, our planting designs are built around the way your garden should look, feel, and mature over time.

At Leaf & Stone, planting is never treated as an afterthought. We select plants that suit your soil, aspect, garden style, and level of maintenance, helping the space develop naturally rather than looking flat or unfinished. From structured shrubs and ornamental grasses to flowering perennials, climbers, hedging, and seasonal interest, we create planting schemes that bring depth, privacy, texture, and long-term value to your outdoor space.

SIMPLE STEPS FOR OUR PLANTING WORK

HOW IT WORKS

01 | Planting consultation

We begin by understanding how you want the garden to feel, where privacy is needed, and what level of maintenance suits your lifestyle.

02 | Site and soil review

We consider soil, shade, exposure, drainage, existing planting, and the wider garden layout before choosing suitable plants.

03 | Planting scheme design

We create a structured planting plan using height, texture, colour, evergreen form, flowering periods, and long-term growth in mind.

04 | Planting and aftercare

Once agreed, we prepare the beds, install the planting, and provide guidance to help the scheme establish and mature properly.

TESTIMONIAL

Leaf & Stone helped us turn a plain garden into something with real structure and softness. The planting gave us more privacy, better colour through the year, and a garden that already feels more established.

Residential Garden Client

The planting scheme completely changed how the garden feels. It softened the patio, added texture, and gave us a much more natural finish without making the space difficult to maintain.

We wanted planting that looked good beyond summer. Leaf & Stone planned everything properly, from evergreen structure to seasonal colour, and the garden now feels much more complete.
