Soft Landscaping

The hard landscaping provides the ‘bones’ of the garden and once in place it is then time to move onto the soft landscaping.
Soft landscaping is the living part of your garden and includes the planting of trees, shrubs and architectural plants.
It reveals and highlights the beauty of a garden design.
It softens the hard-landscaping elements and gives a sense of flow and direction.
The trees and larger shrubs give structure, height and perspective, whilst the under planting gives shape, colour and texture, along with fragrance.

Plant & Tree Supply

Recommending and supplying plants, as well as planting them out, is a key part of our service.
We maintain our own modest stock and also have strong working relationship with the best local nurseries.
Our team quality check all plants and stock and only supply and plant the best specimens.
We also supply bulbs for spring flower displays. Ask us about our potted bulb lasagne for a continuous display throughout the spring!
Additionally, we can supply materials such as compost, topsoil, pots and planters.

Turfing

There is nothing more satisfying than the instant transformation of your garden with a new, thriving and lush lawn.
We recommend and supply turfs to suit all needs, including ornamental, sports and wildflower.
The best time to lay a lawn is autumn/winter (as long as the ground is not frozen); water is plentiful and deciduous trees have lost their leaves and allow maximum sunlight to penetrate to the turf.
It is possible to lay in spring/summer but there is the environmental impact, cost and time of watering to consider.

Wildlife Gardening

We can help you maximize the wildlife potential of your garden and this is something we’re passionate about at Green Goose gardens.
Gardens are rich in biodiversity, meaning they have a key role in helping protect species and habitat.
They can help negate the impact of loss of green space to development, climate change and the paving over of gardens for parking.
If you encourage nature in your garden, wildlife can enrich your life as you observe and enjoy it.
This doesn’t necessarily need to involve a full re-design and can be achieved by reviewing what you already have and increasing the diversity of plants in your garden
We can help by adding plants with particularly beneficial value to wildlife
Adding wildflower seed, turfs and meadows is also of benefit.
Ponds are one of the greatest assets for wildlife in the garden, especially with decline of ponds in the countryside. They provide drinking & bathing for birds, and areas for reproduction for the likes of frogs.
We can help you improve or create habitats by creating ponds, woodland or bog areas, adding nesting boxes for declining species such as House Sparrows, replacing fences with hedges, or adding a green, living roof to a shed or garage.
