Planting

Whatever your preferred style, planting adds the finishing touches to a garden. We’re talking foliage, flowers, trees, lawns and pond plants.

At Holland Landscapes, we thoroughly enjoy all kinds of planting from specimen trees to orchards, raised beds to wildflower borders. We know that you want the best for your garden and so our team works closely with garden designers to ensure that your planting will look great – whatever your style. All plants are sourced from reputable growers who care deeply about the appearance and the health of their stock. We aim to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible, so buy most of our plants locally.

Trees and tree planting

Planting a tree is one of the best things you can do for the environment. They’re also great for screening, providing shade, colour, wildlife habitat and maybe even fruit. Holland Landscapes know just how to choose, plant and stake new trees so that they truly thrive.

Planting Beds and Borders

If your beds are boring or your plants have perished, our soft landscaping team can help brighten up your borders with new plants. Perhaps you want to create new borders to replace an unwanted garden feature? We can advise on species for formal or informal planting schemes. Our team will help you to identify wildlife friendly plants and of course, we work within your preferred colour scheme to create the effect you want. Our service includes weeding and preparing the soil before establishing bulbs, plants, shrubs and grasses and give them a good mulch to keep them happy. We can even install automatic irrigation systems if you’d like us to.

Planting Lawns and wildflower meadows

A beautifully manicured lawn is an elegant addition to any garden. Or, if you want a lower maintenance and more natural look, you could opt for a wildflower patch. Either way, the Holland Landscapes team are here to help you clear and level the soil before laying turf or sowing seeds.

Water gardens, rain gardens and pond plants

Water adds a whole new element to a garden. Planting in and around your pond is vital for keeping it fresh and vibrant. Fed up with waterlogged borders? A rain garden is one of the most beautiful and natural ways to deal with excess water in the garden. Talk to us about your water gardening needs.
