OUR 5-POINT PROGRAMME

1. ASSESSMENT

   Alaster Anderson will visit and assess the garden and spend time discussing your requirements and assessing the skills of your existing gardening team. He will photograph the garden and prepare a report and tailored maintenance plan for the year. By studying the planting and long-term design vision Alaster can understand how the garden is to evolve and be crafted into a show-stopping artistic space.

2. GUIDANCE

   Through our advice and consultancy service, we will endeavour to equip your gardener with a bespoke set of skills and the knowledge necessary to maintain your garden. You and your gardener will be joining an exclusive club, being mentored by horticulturalists with a combined 55 years of experience as well as discounted rates on practical training packages.

3. VISITS

   Variable visits from one of our trained Horticulturalists will be scheduled. Depending on the complexity and needs of the garden, these could be between 3-5 visits over the course of the year. They will meet with your gardener and go through a check list of seasonal activities, discuss pruning techniques if required as well as completing an auger test to assess moisture levels, pest and soil checks and complete a plant health check.

4. REPORTING

   As well as the initial assessment and maintenance plan, a report will be sent to you after each visit updating you on our findings and setting out our recommendations for the season. As we are Safe Contractor approved, a health and safety plan will also be written and sent to you.

5. KEEPING IN TOUCH

   Your dedicated Project Manager and horticulturalist can be contacted on demand directly by email or telephone whenever the need arises. You will also have access to the Head Gardener Service online portal and have direct messaging to discuss any specific garden queries, advice on seasonal gardening activities and cover off any outstanding issues. We support your gardener both on the technical side and so that they can develop the skills to achieve the overarching aesthetic vision.
