Services
Garden Design
Our garden design service creates timeless English gardens through collaborative planning and meticulous execution. Beginning with an initial consultation to understand client requirements, we produce detailed plans incorporating structural elements, seasonal planting schemes, and sustainable practices. With award-winning expertise demonstrated at Chelsea Flower Show, we transform outdoor spaces into harmonious environments that blend natural beauty with functional design. Clients benefit from our comprehensive approach spanning concept development to final implementation.
Garden Consultancy
Our consultancy service provides tailored garden guidance through on-site visits and expert analysis. We offer practical solutions for garden improvements, plant selection, and maintenance strategies. With decades of horticultural experience, we help clients optimise their outdoor spaces through structured planning and planting recommendations. Our advice covers everything from small terrace enhancements to comprehensive garden redesigns, ensuring clients achieve their desired aesthetic while maintaining ecological balance.
Pergola Installation
We specialise in crafting traditional and contemporary pergolas that enhance garden aesthetics and functionality. Using sustainably sourced materials, our bespoke structures create defined garden spaces while supporting climbing plants. From classic English oak designs to modern bioclimatic pergolas, each installation combines architectural elegance with practical benefits. Our expert team ensures seamless integration with existing garden layouts through both supply-and-fit and self-assembly options across the UK.
Landscaping
Our landscaping service focuses on creating healthy, beautiful gardens through expert ground preparation and construction. We implement durable paving solutions, natural stone features, and sustainable irrigation systems. By carefully selecting plant varieties for year-round interest, we ensure both aesthetic appeal and low maintenance requirements. The process begins with detailed marking-out and progresses through structured implementation of all garden elements to deliver enduring results.
Nursery Supplies
Our seven-acre nursery in Edenbridge provides premium plant materials for both professional projects and private customers. Housing carefully curated plant selections, the nursery serves as both a resource for implemented designs and a destination for garden enthusiasts. We offer expert guidance on plant care, seasonal planting, and garden maintenance. Open Monday to Friday, the nursery operates alongside our design office, providing direct access to horticultural expertise and plant selection for ongoing garden projects.

Report
Would most definitely recommend Roger Platts to anyone looking for anything a little bit out of the ordinary for the garden. We were in search of some screen hedging, and after a couple of visits and numerous conversations with Shane, we decided upon some Portuguese Laurel, which although was a little bit more expensive than we had wanted to pay, the plants had obviously been very well cared for during the summer months, and we took delivery about 4 weeks ago. A very big thank you to Shane for all his helpful advice, and of course all the other member of staff and delivery guy for all their assistance
