It’s a frustrating industry myth that doing anything green or remotely environmental is more expensive… The myth stems from other environmental sectors such as heat and energy, for example replacing boilers or fitting energy efficient systems, alternatives and their initial procurement could look quite expensive or disruptive to install in comparison. However longer term gains overtime offset these costs.

The same doesn’t apply to our application in landscape and horticulture. Sure, with the correct consultation and delivery method, everything exists already to bring you the exact same service and alternative materials costed like for like. Dare we say it should work out a little cheaper!

Where it becomes a cost saver is with our clever planning and design, your forward maintenance costs could in fact be up to 50% lower. It’s worth having a look at the above visual, it’s based on a small garden with a turfed area, some planting and new fences required.

It quickly shows a lower installation costs with rates matching each other quite nicely and a large cost saving met on providing a hedge over a fence. Granted not everyone wants a hedge, but it could save a lot of money as alternative option and introduce or support natural bio diversity in your space regardless of size.

Where the cost saving comes in is through the maintenance of the garden going forward. Replacing normal turf in the design for wildflower turf and planting bee and butterfly friendly shrubs requiring less care (but still looking fantastic) forward maintenance costs are around 25% lower. If you look after your own garden, this means you will save time!
