Planning out the planting for a landscape of any size or shape requires careful consideration of a number of factors. Here at Acres Ahead we have a well-practiced process that results in perfect plantings every time.

Here’s what we consider when planning your planting:

• Analysis – evaluating the soil quality, drainage, sunlight exposure and existing vegetation on the site.
• Consultation – meeting with you, the client, to discover your favoured theme and colours, plant preferences, the aesthetic you’re after, and the functional needs of the space.
• Plant Selection – choosing appropriate plants that will suit all the conditions and requirements as closely as possible, and hopefully thrive in the planting space.
• Layout and Arrangement – designing plant groupings, spacing and other elements taking into account colour, texture, seasonal interest, height and other physical factors.
• Planting Out – this includes preparing the soil, irrigation, digging to appropriate depths, and timing the planting suitably.
• Maintenance – if required we can prepare a plan for ongoing care of the planting, and schedule follow-up visits to ensure the plants flourish.
