Planting and soft landscaping in Birmingham
Planting gives a garden texture, seasonal change and a sense of place. F.B & Sons can help with new borders, trees, hedges and wider soft landscaping in Birmingham, whether you are refreshing one area or completing a new garden layout.
Plants chosen for the setting
We discuss the light, soil, space, views and the amount of care you want to provide. The aim is a planting approach that suits the garden and its intended use. Native and climate-appropriate plants can be considered alongside the colour, form and seasonal interest you enjoy.
Prepare the ground thoughtfully
The existing soil and planting conditions affect what can establish well. We assess the proposed areas before agreeing preparation, planting and any mulching. Sound existing plants can be retained where they fit the plan.
Bring structure and seasonal interest
Trees, shrubs, hedges and border plants have different roles. We can discuss screening, softer edges, focal points and planting around paths or seating. Mature size and available space are considered alongside the initial appearance.
Support the first seasons
New planting needs care while it establishes. We explain the agreed watering and maintenance guidance at handover and discuss how you will manage it. Ongoing maintenance visits are currently available in the West Midlands, subject to coverage and capacity.
Share the brief before we plan the work
A Birmingham postcode, recent photographs and an outline of what you would like to change help us understand the space. Tell us about access, any existing plans and the timing you have in mind.
We discuss the work, information needed and a suitable next step before agreeing a visit or quotation. Any applicable fee is explained before booking.
A clear proposal and useful handover
The proposal sets out the agreed scope, preparation, materials or equipment and practical arrangements. Tell us about anything you want to retain and any constraints that affect the work.
Relevant care information is explained at handover. Ongoing maintenance is discussed separately, with current coverage and capacity confirmed for your postcode.
Planting and soft landscaping questions
Can you refresh an existing border?
Yes. Share photographs and tell us what you want to keep, change or improve. We can discuss the condition of the planting and a suitable scope.
Can you include trees and hedges?
They can be considered where the site and available space suit them. We discuss purpose, eventual size, access and establishment care.
Do you use native plants?
Native and climate-appropriate planting can be included where suitable. Choices are made for the actual conditions and your brief.
When should I enquire?
Enquire early so design, plant availability, ground preparation and a suitable planting period can be considered. We confirm current timings for your project.
