Alaster Anderson The Planting Experts

We have a passion for horticulture and sustainable planting. We are specialists in prestigious garden projects, from concept to completion and beyond. Over the last 30 years, we have worked in partnership with some of the UK’s leading garden designers, property developers and architects to design, create, install and maintain some of London and the South’s finest gardens.

DETAIL MATTERS

Our experience and core strength in planting mean we bring creativity, strong project management and attention to detail to all our projects.

From the size of brick-wall pointing joints to moving large trees and shrubs a few centimetres, attention to detail matters to us and we will do whatever it takes to deliver the aesthetic vision.

The sheer number of plants available and the variety of different species can be overwhelming for even the most experienced horticulturalists.

To design and create a beautiful, sustainable garden, you need to know how individual plants grow, whether they prefer sun or shade, what soil type they require, when they flower, whether they are susceptible to wind or pests, what size of plants are available, where you can buy them from, how they need to be stored, and what combinations work and don’t work - not to mention their difficult to remember botanical names!

This is the knowledge we have.

We have extensive nursery contacts in the UK and Europe, through which we are able to source the full breadth of plants, from bulbs and aquatics to shrubs, hedging and large mature trees.

From our site in East Sussex we can take delivery and hold items from plants to furniture, until they are required on site, removing any logistical issues you might have.

We have a great deal of experience in installing large trees and specimens in London and other tight urban spaces.

We have had the privilege to create and maintain some of London and the South’s finest gardens, working alongside the UK’s leading garden designers, developers and architects.

Our maintenance teams are available for regular garden maintenance services and one-off garden restoration and rejuvenation projects, or we can provide regular consultation and advisory services to support your existing gardening team.
