We prioritise choosing plants that suit your level of interest in gardening and will thrive in your care and location.

Whether you want a low-maintenance garden to entertain friends and family or seek advice for your existing mature garden, we have you covered. At Helyers, we collaborate with you to develop a personalised planting plan that complements your skills and preferences, creating a garden that you’ll love for years to come.

What's Included in a Helyers Planting Plan

A Helyers planting plan is far more than a plant list. It is a detailed, professional design document that gives you everything you need to transform your garden borders — whether you choose to plant them yourself or have our team do it for you.

Each planting plan includes:

  • Scaled plan drawing – A top-down drawing of your borders showing exactly where each plant is positioned, spaced correctly for mature growth.
  • Full plant schedule – A complete list of every species included, with quantities, pot sizes, and approximate costs so you can budget accurately.
  • Seasonal interest notes – Details of when each plant flowers, its foliage colour, and the time of year it looks its best, so your garden has something to offer in every season.
  • Planting instructions – Guidance on soil preparation, planting depth, and aftercare for each plant.
  • Ongoing maintenance notes – Practical advice on pruning, feeding, and dividing plants to keep your borders looking their best year after year.

Our Planting Design Process

We approach every planting scheme with the same care and attention to detail that goes into any full garden design project. Our process typically works as follows:

  1. Site survey – We visit your garden to assess soil type, aspect (sun/shade), drainage, and the existing planting.
  2. Design consultation – We talk through your preferences — colours, styles, wildlife-friendly planting, low-maintenance options — so the scheme truly reflects your taste.
  3. Plan production – We produce your scaled planting plan using specialist design software, selecting plants that are well-suited to Hampshire’s climate and your specific conditions.
  4. Presentation and revisions – We present the finished plan and make any adjustments you want before finalising.
  5. Optional installation – If you’d like us to source and plant everything for you, our team can carry out the full installation, including soil preparation and mulching.

Plants Well-Suited to Hampshire Gardens

Hampshire’s climate — with its relatively mild winters, warm summers, and chalky or clay-heavy soils in many areas — requires careful plant selection. We specify plants that are genuinely suited to local conditions, not just what looks good in a catalogue.

Some of our most-used and reliable plants for Hampshire gardens include:

  • Perennials – Salvia nemorosa, Penstemon, Geranium, Echinacea, Astrantia, and Verbena bonariensis
  • Grasses – Stipa tenuissima, Calamagrostis, Miscanthus, and Festuca glauca for year-round structure
  • Shrubs – Lavender, Rosemary, Pittosporum, Viburnum, and Hydrangea for backbone planting
  • Climbers – Clematis, Wisteria, and Rosa for walls and fences
  • Bulbs – Tulipa, Allium, Camassia, and Narcissus for seasonal colour

We are committed to selecting plants that support local wildlife, incorporating pollinator-friendly species wherever possible.
