Plants, Planting and Tree Planting Services
Generally the final and most important part of creating any garden is the planting. Planting is what brings a garden to life, and ties the hard bones of the garden together.
Whether it be softening strong architectural lines of the hard landscaping using groundcover planting,with the chosen varieties spilling over the edges of paving.
Perhaps adding height and structure with the use of specimen trees or topiary.
Sometimes introducing shape and lush foliage with the use of mature shrub planting, or giving a splash of colour and texture with a mix of herbaceous plants.
New leaf landscapes can offer a full planting design plan outlining plant varieties, numbers and spacing of plants, We
can then prepare and plant your beautiful new
garden. Alternatively we can work from your own planting plans and lists and work on a “supply and plant” basis.
Rejuvenating tired gardens
Sometimes due to busy lives or just a lack of understanding gardens can be left to “go wild”, Sometimes all is needed is a bit of pruning and the introduction of few shrubs or trees to give balance and interest. Or maybe a new mixed herbaceous border to add a splash of colour to a dull part of the garden. New leaf landscapes offer a full rejuvenation service.
We can identify all existing shrubs and plants which can be incorporated in your new planting scheme.
Plant suppliers
Over the past seven years we have built up large network of
plant growers and nurseries in the U.K and Europe and can source the best quality in specimen herbaceous plants, mature trees, pleached trees, mature climbers and large pieces of topiary.
Herbaceous Planting
We can source everything from the new ‘En Vogue’ specimens to the ‘Old English’ classics. Grown by the best suppliers in the correct and suitable compost mixes for stronger root stock which intern gives faster and stronger growth.
Tree planting
We source most of our mature and specimen trees from the U.K. Now mainly grown in air-pots, which makes for easier, quicker and faster planting. These trees can be planted all year round, this is also less stressful than lifting from nurseries in the autumn. Trees can be anything up to 20m tall, with girth of up to 60cm.
We can also source most trained or pleached trees for use in
more formal areas of your garden. New Leaf Landscapes can source and plant any tree using all our machinery and thelatest Platipus anchoring systems we can easily plant and secure all trees. Working this way causes only a small amount of upset to surrounding areas such as lawns, hedges and existing trees.
Topiary and boxwood
We can source a range of boxwood in all different shapes and sizes generally from our suppliers in Belgium and Holland. Bare root hedging, box balls to 2m pyramids and everything in between we can supply and plant any boxwood required in your garden.
We also have contacts throughout Italy to source the finest in Prunus lusitanica, Prunus laurocerasus, lollipop trees from half standard to standard.
Yew and other evergreen specimens in all manor of shapes and sizes.
Mature climbers
Sometimes buying a small 2-5 litre climber and waiting for it to cover an oak pergola or side of house can be frustrating. We can supply and plant mature climbers [some up to 6m] for instant effect Including Wisterias, Hydrangeas, Clematis and Roses we can source most varieties from 2m – 6m dependent on variety. New leaf landscapes can supply and plant all climbers as well as installing and tensioning wires where needed to ensure maximum support for the plant.
