Planting Design

Plants aren’t just for looking at - they can paint a picture, bring back memories, and create a home.

How We Design

At Heard Landscapes we design with these things in mind

Layering

Our planting design process begins with the intention of drawing the eye through the garden, using contrasting layers, splashes of colour, swathes of moving texture and punctuating focal points.

Seasonal Interest

For year-round structure, we always incorporate a strong backbone of evergreen planting, layering of bulbs for spring, perennials for summer and plants that ‘die beautifully’ to create a hard-working planting palette throughout the year.  We do all we can to make sure the final planting design evolves with the seasons.

Wildlife Value

We think it is important to think of the little guys and create planting schemes that work for animals, birds and insects. Our planting design services include supplying plants for pollinators, trees with fruits or winter flowers, and native species to ensure we are working with the local ecosystem.
