Landscaping projects

Garden landscaping is the process of designing, modifying, and maintaining outdoor spaces to create visually appealing, functional, and sustainable gardens. Even simple landscaping projects can perform a range of functions within the garden; they can simply create an atmosphere to enhance the immediate surroundings or be more functional by matching materials and plants to suit existing conditions and features.

Rupert Bannister is an experienced plantsman who provides expertise in garden plants and landscaping across Devon, Dorset and Somerset. When considering landscaping projects, Rupert is adept at supporting clients to match plants to their environmental conditions, as well as sourcing materials from local suppliers. It’s this sustainable approach to horticulture that is core to his landscaping work. His expert knowledge in plant selection, soil health, and garden design creates a visually appealing and sustainable landscape that can enhance the beauty of your garden.
