Pond Planting Design

You have spent time and money on creating a new ornamental pond or a wonderful wildlfe pond.  Now is the time to add your plants, but what to put in?  

Thats where a pond planting plan is essential.

Why do I need a Pond Planting Plan?

• What plants are suitable to your size of pond? Some pond plants can be invasive and only suitable for larger ponds/lakes others are perfect for smaller ponds.
• What depths do I plant my pond plants?  Pond plants can be either marginal or deep water plants and many require a specific depth of water to grow well.
• Which plants will give me interest through out the year?  There are a range of plants that flower and provide interest at different times of the year.
• What plants can I use in certain colours?  There are many different colours available in pond plants.
• Which plants are native ?  Some people prefer using native pond plants to avoid non native plants getting into other water courses.

I design a pond planting plan to suit your size and style of pond.  I will discuss with you colour, height and structure and also take into account your surrounding garden so that it does not look out of place. 

I can also then cost up and supply your plants with delivery and installation.
