Garden Design
Our garden design service creates bespoke outdoor spaces tailored to your property and lifestyle. Led by David Stone, our team develops detailed plans incorporating hard landscaping, soft planting, and irrigation systems. We work closely with clients from initial concept through to implementation, ensuring functional beauty that evolves with the seasons. Projects range from small urban gardens to large estates, with attention to sustainable practices and long-term maintenance considerations.
Irrigation Systems
We design and install efficient irrigation systems that optimise water usage while maintaining garden health. Our solutions include smart controllers, drip irrigation, and rainwater harvesting systems. Our team also provides maintenance and troubleshooting for existing systems, ensuring optimal performance throughout the growing season. All installations consider local rainfall patterns and specific plant requirements to minimise waste while maximising garden vitality.
Landscaping
Our landscaping services encompass both hard and soft elements to transform outdoor spaces. From patios and decking to planting schemes and water features, our skilled team executes designs with precision. We handle projects of all scales, from complete garden overhauls to specific feature installations. Materials are carefully selected for durability and aesthetic appeal, with ongoing maintenance plans available to preserve your investment.
Horticulture
Specialist horticultural services ensure your garden thrives year-round. Our team provides expert pruning, planting, and seasonal maintenance tailored to your garden's specific needs. We offer advice on plant selection, soil health, and pest management using environmentally responsible practices. Regular maintenance contracts ensure consistent care, while one-off consultations address specific horticultural challenges.
Consultation
Professional garden consultations address specific challenges or development plans. Our experts provide tailored solutions for planting schemes, structural issues, or maintenance concerns. The service includes site assessment, written reports, and implementation guidance. Whether resolving immediate problems or planning long-term development, our consultations offer practical expertise to enhance your outdoor space.

Report
With an empty patch of back garden grass, we were told time and time again how lucky we were to have a blank canvas. We just felt like we didnt know where to begin, or even what we wanted. After a long period of indecision we enlisted the help of the Bushy Boys. What a great choice it turned out to be. From the word go they were unfailingly helpful, respectful, accommodating and were clearly experienced professionals. The degree of attention to detail and their willingness and eagerness to decipher our rambling descriptions of our desired elements of the garden was quite remarkable.

David and the team did a great job on pruning a large expanse of Wisteria and four apple trees. They were very professional, knowledgable, gave great advice and cleared up perfectly.
