GARDEN PROJECTS

Design, Build & Planting

Garden design, planting, fencing and practical landscaping across Weymouth, Portland & Dorchester.

Dale will walk the garden with you, look at access, levels, boundaries, existing trees and what you want to keep or change. From there the work can be planned properly before materials arrive or anything is removed.

Coastal Tree Care can handle a complete garden project or individual parts of it, including planting, fencing, decking, paths, patios and general landscaping.

Dale will look at the existing garden with you, including access, levels, trees, boundaries and anything that needs to stay. From there we can agree what should be built, planted, repaired or removed before work starts.

Coastal Tree Care can take on complete garden projects or individual parts of a larger job, including planting, fencing, decking, paths, patios and general landscaping.

Garden Design & Landscaping

Plan the layout first, then choose planting and practical features that suit the site and the way you use the garden.

Paths, patios, timber work and garden structure

Start With the Site

Before a design is agreed, Dale checks what is already there and what will affect the job: access, levels, drainage, boundaries, existing trees, services and anything that needs to stay.

That first visit gives you a realistic starting point before materials, planting or labour are priced.

Planting for Coastal Gardens

Gardens around Weymouth and Portland can be exposed to strong winds, salt and dry conditions. Plant choice needs to suit the position, soil, exposure and the amount of maintenance you want.

That may mean improving an existing border, adding specimen plants or planting a new area from scratch.

Project Management

Once the design and costs are agreed, the job needs to happen in the right order. Dale schedules the work, coordinates materials and deliveries, and keeps the stages moving without losing sight of the agreed finish.

Dale is PRINCE2 trained and brings that project-management experience to larger or more complicated garden builds.

Safe, Managed Site Work

Before work starts, the site and the work are assessed. Access, machinery, excavation, deliveries, tree work and other site risks are considered before the job begins. The aim is simple: organise the job properly and protect the people, property and garden around it.

Garden Projects FAQ

Dale walks the garden with you, talks through what you want to change and checks the practical points that affect the job, including access, levels, boundaries, existing trees and services.
Yes. A garden project does not have to mean clearing everything away. Existing trees, planting and useful features can be retained and worked into the new layout where they still suit the site.
Yes, where that is what the job requires. Once the work and costs are agreed, Coastal Tree Care can schedule the stages, arrange materials and coordinate the build through to planting and finishing.
Depending on the project, work can include site clearance, groundwork, paths and patios, decking, fencing, timber features, turf, planting and mulching. The exact scope is agreed before work starts.
Planting and materials are chosen with the site in mind. Around Weymouth and Portland that can mean allowing for salt-laden winds, exposure, dry conditions and the amount of maintenance the garden will receive.
After the first discussion and site assessment, the proposed work, materials and likely sequence are agreed before the build is scheduled. Larger projects can be broken into clear stages where that makes sense.
