Expert Plant Selection for Dorset Gardens

Choosing the right plants is essential for long-term success. Dorset’s soil types vary widely — from chalky and free-draining to dense, moisture-holding clay — and each border needs plants that will thrive in those conditions.

If your borders have become overgrown, patchy, or uninspiring, we can refresh them with:

Improved structure
Better plant spacing
Removal of unhealthy plants
New, vibrant planting
Soil conditioning and mulching
Cleaner edges and defined shapes

A border refresh can make a dramatic difference to the overall appearance of your garden.

Soil Improvement & Preparation

Healthy plants start with healthy soil. Before planting, we assess:

Soil type (chalk, sand, clay, loam)
Drainage and moisture retention
Nutrient levels and organic content

We then prepare the ground with:

Compost or manure
Soil conditioners
Mulch
Aeration where needed

This ensures new plants establish quickly and grow strong.
