A well-designed garden is a significant investment. Left unattended, gardens can fall into ruin and require further significant investment. While it is common for clients to request a low maintenance garden, all gardens require some level of maintenance to ensure the vibrant health and longevity of the plants and of course, for aesthetics.

Vibrant and flourishing gardens are maintained regularly. That is, weekly or fortnightly throughout the growing seasons. At a minimum, this may be scaled back to monthly maintenance visits during the dormant season of winter.

Plants are living, growing organisms and for this reason, there is no such thing as a ‘no maintenance’ garden. However, different gardens will require a higher level of maintenance than others. NBLA consider the financial cost of maintaining our gardens and always try to strike a balance between the desired look and the level of care that our designs require.

In the first instance, pests and disease are prevented by planting the right plants in the right position, acquiring quality stock, and ensuring adequate water supply and good conditions. Getting this right means the plant is healthy and more resilient to pests and diseases. Beyond that, our horticulturists always take an ‘organic first’ and less toxic approach. If a problem can’t be solved by this means, a controlled use of insecticides is employed.

The main difference is an appreciation that a garden is always evolving. Landscape design usually begins with a blank canvas and involves the design of form and structure as well as soft-scaping. A garden design is more about working with an existing garden as it evolves, evaluating what works and modifying areas that are not thriving or require a refresh.
