Planting & Bedding Services in Margate & Across Thanet

Adding colour, character and seasonal interest to gardens across Thanet — from spring bedding and summer containers to border planting and bulbs for year-round appeal..

Gardener For Your Business Or Complex

A well-planted garden does more than look good — it gives you something to enjoy through every season. The right plants in the right places can transform an outdoor space completely, whether that’s a burst of summer colour in a flower bed, a welcoming hanging basket at the front door, or a thoughtfully planted border that looks interesting all year round.

Whether you have a clear idea of what you want or need some guidance on what will work, Tim will help you find the right approach for your garden, your soil and your situation, including the particular conditions that come with gardening on the Thanet coast..

Our Planting & Bedding Services

Seasonal Bedding
Seasonal bedding is one of the simplest ways to keep a garden looking colourful and well cared for throughout the year. We plant and replace seasonal bedding to give you spring colour, summer displays and autumn interest — rotating plants as the seasons change to keep beds and borders looking their best.

Hanging Baskets & Container Planting
Hanging baskets and planted containers make an immediate difference to the front of a property — for homes and businesses alike. We select, plant and install baskets and containers suited to the position and aspect, using plants that will perform well through the season. Seasonal replanting keeps them looking fresh year round.

Bulb Planting
Bulbs are one of the most rewarding things to get into the ground — and one of the easiest to get wrong if you’re not sure what goes where or when. We plant bulbs at the right time and depth for reliable spring and summer displays, from classic daffodils and tulips to alliums, dahlias and everything in between.

Beds & Borders
Whether you want a bed cleared and replanted from scratch, an existing border improved and filled out, or a new planting scheme designed and installed — we can help. We advise on plant selection suited to your soil, aspect and how much maintenance you want the border to need going forward.

Plant Selection & Advice
Not sure what will work in your garden? We’re happy to advise. Thanet’s coastal conditions — salt winds, sandy soils and exposed aspects — mean some plants perform far better than others. We’ll steer you towards plants that will genuinely thrive in your garden rather than struggle.

Planting for Thanet’s Coastal Conditions

Gardening on the Thanet coast comes with its own particular challenges. Salt-laden winds off the sea, exposed aspects and free-draining sandy soils in many areas mean that not every plant will thrive, and some that look great in a garden centre will struggle once they’re in the ground.

The good news is that there are plenty of plants that positively love coastal conditions, and a well-chosen coastal garden can look spectacular.

Residential & Commercial Planting

We carry out planting and bedding work for both residential gardens and commercial properties across Thanet.

  • For homeowners, it’s about making the most of your outdoor space and having a garden that genuinely looks cared for through the seasons.
  • For commercial properties — shop frontages, hospitality venues, offices and managed properties — well-maintained planted areas and seasonal displays make a real difference to how a property presents itself.

Do You Supply the Plants?

We’re flexible on this. We can supply and install everything, selecting plants suited to your garden, sourcing them and getting them in the ground.
Or if you prefer to choose and buy your own plants, we’re happy to carry out the installation for you.

Either way, we’ll make sure everything goes in correctly and give you straightforward advice on aftercare.

Planting and Bedding FAQs

Got a question about our gardening services? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.

Quite a few — and we’re happy to advise when we visit. Plants that tolerate salt wind, free-draining soil and exposed aspects tend to do well across much of Thanet. We’ll steer you towards things that will genuinely thrive rather than just survive.

Spring bedding typically goes in from March onwards once the risk of frost has passed. Summer bedding from May. Autumn and winter bedding from September. Bulbs for spring displays go in during autumn — getting them in the ground in October and November makes a big difference to the display you get the following spring.

Either works for us. We can source and supply everything, or install plants you’ve already chosen — whichever suits you better.
