HORTICULTURAL ADVICE & CONSULTANCY
Professional horticultural advice and Guidance in Romiley – Marple – Compstall & surrounding areas
Horticultural Advice & Consultancy
Expert horticultural advice and consultancy for gardens of every scale — from small domestic spaces to larger properties, heritage buildings, and stately homes. Based in Romiley, I cover Marple, Disley, High Lane, and surrounding areas, helping property owners and managers make informed, practical choices for long-term garden health and presentation.
My Consultancy Process
- Initial consultation – A site visit to understand your garden, estate, or grounds, along with your priorities and challenges.
- Assessment & recommendations – Advice tailored to your soil, planting, design, and maintenance needs.
- Planting & seasonal planning – Guidance on species selection, seasonal care, and sustainable approaches to long-term management.
- Ongoing support – Follow-up visits or seasonal reviews for clients who want ongoing consultancy alongside maintenance services.
Why Choose Me for Horticultural Consultancy?
Knowledge across scales – Whether it’s a private back garden or the grounds of a heritage property, I tailor advice to fit the scale, style, and history of the site.
Practical solutions – Consultancy is focused on clear, actionable steps that can be carried out efficiently and sustainably.
Experience with heritage properties – Larger and historic sites require sensitivity to period design, planting traditions, and conservation requirements. I provide advice that respects these factors while keeping the grounds manageable.
Clear communication – Recommendations are explained plainly, without jargon, so you can make confident decisions about your garden or estate.
Regular or One-Off Consultancy
Regular support – Many larger properties and estates benefit from regular horticultural consultancy, ensuring grounds are planned and maintained seasonally with no surprises.
One-off advice – For homeowners and managers facing a specific challenge — such as a failing lawn, problematic hedge, or large-scale replanting project — I provide clear, practical recommendations you can act on immediately.
Horticultural Advice for Heritage & Stately Homes
Maintaining larger grounds and gardens attached to heritage buildings, listed properties, or stately homes requires careful balance. Lawns, borders, hedges, and trees must be managed sensitively to preserve character while staying practical and safe for visitors.
I can provide:
Seasonal care plans for historic planting schemes
Guidance on traditional species vs. modern replacements
Advice on integrating sustainable practices (composting, wildlife-friendly planting)
Planning support for long-term projects such as replanting avenues, restoring lawns, or refreshing formal beds

Who is this service for?
Anyone — from local homeowners who want expert planting advice to property managers overseeing large estates or heritage grounds.
Do you provide written reports?
Yes. I can provide written recommendations, seasonal plans, or plant lists tailored to your site.
Can you work with existing grounds teams?
Absolutely. I often provide advice and planning that groundskeepers or gardening teams then carry out.
What areas do you cover?
I’m based in Romiley and provide consultancy in Marple, Disley, High Lane, and across surrounding areas of Cheshire and Greater Manchester.
Is this only advice, or do you also carry out the work?
I provide both. Some clients want advice only; others prefer me to follow up with practical services such as garden maintenance, hedge cutting or turfing & landscaping.
Top Tips for Large-Scale Garden Management
Plan with the seasons
Large grounds run smoother when work is spread throughout the year. A structured seasonal plan avoids last-minute rushes.
Respect the setting
For heritage buildings, use planting that complements the architecture and history of the property — often traditional species still provide the best fit.
Build in sustainability
Composting, mulching, and wildlife-friendly hedging save money and time while supporting biodiversity. See the National Trust for inspiration.
Invest in preventative care
Pruning, feeding, and soil improvement cost less long-term than repairing damage from neglect.
