For most of the projects we undertake, we have to maintain them for the first 12 months.

To ensure this runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible we have a dedicated aftercare service. With most projects being either prestigious developments, such as the courtyard above in Victoria, or public buildings like schools and hospitals, the standard of maintenance needs to be very high. Not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also to ensure that plant stock establishes and matures to how the client expects and we demand.
