FAQs
-
How long does it take for a new garden to establish?
-
Most gardens take one to three years to fully establish. During this time, plants settle, mature and begin to fill out, rewarding patience with a richer, more natural appearance.
-
Why is aftercare important after a new garden is installed?
-
Aftercare is essential because a newly installed garden is still establishing. Plants, lawns and hard landscaping all need time to settle, and early care ensures everything develops as intended. Proper aftercare helps prevent plant failure, supports healthy growth and protects the long-term success of the garden design. Our plant specialist maintenance teams often provide supplementary support to our clients regular garden maintenance operatives.
-
How often should new plants be watered?
-
Watering requirements vary depending on plant type, soil and weather, but newly planted gardens generally need regular watering in their first growing season. Deep, infrequent watering is usually more effective than frequent light watering, helping roots grow deeper and stronger.
-
Do newly planted trees and shrubs need special care?
-
Yes. Trees and shrubs require careful watering, staking where necessary and monitoring during their establishment period. Early care helps ensure strong root development and long-term stability, particularly in the first two years.
-
How can aftercare reduce long-term maintenance?
-
Good aftercare helps plants establish properly, reducing failures, replacements and excessive intervention later. Healthy, well-established gardens generally require less maintenance over time and remain more resilient to weather and seasonal changes. We recommend that our plant specialist maintenance teams visit at 6-8 weeks intervals after construction and planting to spot any potential problems and ensure successful establishment.
