What we do

One team for the whole outdoor space.

Most gardens need more than one trade. Plantox carries the design, the groundwork, the structures and the planting in-house, so a terrace, a pool surround and an irrigation run are one project rather than four contractors.

01

Landscape construction

Building gardens that add value to the space: groundworks, drainage paving, planting of trees, shrubs and perennials, and the finishes that hold it all together.

02

Design projects

2D plans, 3D visualisations, or a complete 2D + 3D project. The 3D is there so you can see the result before anything is dug.

03

Garden maintenance

Ongoing maintenance for private clients and for companies, including hotels, industrial parks and other green spaces. Pruning through to cleaning the paving.

04

Decking and pergolas

Timber decks and pergolas for shade and for living space, built as part of the garden rather than dropped onto it.

05

Pools

Design and installation of pools integrated into the surrounding garden, including the deck and planting that frame them.

06

Irrigation systems

Installation of automatic irrigation, planned with the planting so the water goes where the plants actually are.

07

Natural turf

Turf supplied by the roll, with or without laying. Also seed and fertiliser through the Plantox store.

08

Forestry services

Management and clearance of woodland and wooded areas, for owners of larger land outside the city.

Selected work

Built, planted and still standing.

How it is built

Weathering steel, set by hand, level the first time.

The detail people notice in a Plantox garden is usually the metal: Corten edging holding a gravel bed, a planter running the length of a balustrade, a fire pit that has taken on its own rust. It is the single thing their Google reviews mention most, alongside the quality of the materials.

The same team designs it, fabricates it and installs it, which is why the edge line is straight and the planting sits where the drawing said it would.

Process

Six steps, in this order.

The working method Plantox applies to every project, from a courtyard to an estate.

01

Reading the property

Every project starts with a detailed look at the site: the character of the ground, how the sun falls on it, and what you actually want from it.

02

Accurate measurement

The space is measured properly. Those measurements are the base the design is drawn on and the reason the build matches it.

03

The design

The design team turns the brief into drawings, in 2D or in 3D, with each detail considered so the finished space is as usable as it is good-looking.

04

Tools and materials

Plantox handles the logistics: selecting the right equipment and sourcing the materials, so the build runs without stoppages.

05

Adapting on site

Outdoor projects meet weather and surprises. The work is adjusted as needed so the result still lands where it was meant to.

06

Keeping it

Maintenance afterwards, so the space holds its condition: pruning, plant care and cleaning the hard surfaces.

On quoting

Not every garden needs a formal project.

Plantox says so on its own site, and it is worth repeating: paying for a design package you do not need is the most common way to waste money on a garden.

  • Straightforward workTurf, planting, planters, direct solutions. Free quote, worked out together with you.
  • Technical projectsWhen the complexity calls for it: levels, drainage, structures, pools. A drawn project, priced as such.
  • Either wayOne team from the first visit to the last plant, and a maintenance option once it is finished.
