What to Expect During Your Consultation

  • Maintenance work that can be carried out
  • Suggestions for new plants to add
  • Ideas for enhancing the garden's functionality

Follow-Up Support

Each consultation is followed up with personalized recommendations to ensure you achieve your gardening goals effectively.

Landscape Plans for Planning Permission

The Planting Consultancy specializes in creating comprehensive Proposed Landscape Plans tailored to meet the planning requirements of local councils. Collaborating closely with architects and private clients,  we ensure that each plan is meticulously crafted to enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of the landscape.

Key Considerations for Landscape Plans

  • Amenity Areas: Incorporating spaces that enhance outdoor living and ensure accessibility.
  • Water Run-Off Management: Designing landscapes that effectively address drainage issues to reduce flooding and erosion.
  • Privacy Solutions: Implementing strategic planting to create buffers and secluded areas.
  • Integration with Surroundings: Ensuring new plantings harmonize with the existing landscape, particularly in rural settings.

By focusing on these essential elements, The Planting Consultancy provides landscape plans that not only fulfill council requirements but also enrich the overall environment, contributing to sustainable development practices.

Planting Plans

If the structure and layout of your garden are already established with features like patios and lawns, the next essential step may be creating a Planting Plan.

A Planting Plan is a detailed document that specifies both the species and the precise location of plants within your garden.

These plans are particularly advantageous for individuals who prefer to undertake gardening projects themselves, as they provide clear guidelines for planting.

With our Planting Plan package, you will receive a to-scale Planting Plan alongside a comprehensive Plant Schedule. This will aid in ensuring that your garden thrives with well-organized plant placements and maintenance instructions.

A quote for this service will be provided following the receipt of all relevant details regarding your garden's layout and your specific planting preferences.
