Garden Planting in North London

The part that really brings a garden to life. We choose and plant for your soil, light and how much upkeep you want — for colour and interest the whole year round.

Planting that thrives where you are

Anyone can put plants in the ground; the trick is choosing the right ones and giving them the conditions to do well. We pick planting for your garden's reality — sun or shade, dry or damp, clay or free-draining — so it establishes and keeps looking good with sensible care rather than constant rescue.

Lots of North London gardens are shaded by walls, trees or neighbouring houses. That's no barrier to a beautiful garden — it just calls for the right plants, and we know which ones earn their place.

Frequently asked questions

What plants work best in a shady North London garden?

Shade-tolerant planting — ferns, hostas, hardy geraniums, hellebores and shade-loving shrubs — thrives where walls, trees or neighbouring houses block the light. The key is choosing for your garden’s actual conditions rather than fighting them. We pick combinations that establish well and look good for more of the year.

Do you supply the plants?

Yes — we source and supply the plants as part of the job, choosing healthy stock suited to your soil and aspect, then prepare the ground and plant them properly so they establish.

When is the best time to plant?

Autumn and spring are ideal for most planting — the soil is warm and moist, so plants establish before summer. That said, container-grown plants can go in for much of the year with the right aftercare. We’ll advise on timing for your scheme.
